The Infinity Engine?

Tecknic

I'm wondering how many people have heard about this engine, or any games that it is currently, or will be, used in.  I've only just viewed these videos of the engine in action, and what I saw left my jaw remarkably slack.

It's the engine used for "Infinity The Quest for Earth" mmo. A procedural masterpiece in development.

The asteroid level (has caves and tunnels)

EDIT:

The game is hosted by this site and you can get a feel of the game's combat (not the game itself) by downloading the combat Prototype. http://www.infinity-universe.com/Infinity/infinity_combat_proto.php

Yep, been following this game for a long time now.  Sandbox, 100% skill-based, and the engine is amazing.  It's also pretty far into development already.

I think the Infinity Engine would be a little out of date at this point, and not suitable for MMO development anyway.

(The name Infinity Engine is copyrighted by BioWare, it’s the Engine that was behind the Baldur’s Gate, Planescape and IceWind Dale games. )

Out of date??

How can it be? We havent seen anything like Infinity before. Not even EVE. Its like the Infinity engine is a good old engine noone cared to use before. So its almost new in one sense : )

The infinity engine is isometric 2D, so the links the OP gave are a different engine entirely. Infinity will have to come up with a new name because Bioware already owns the name infinity engine and it referes to a different engine entirely. 

 

Not that this is a really big deal I was just poking a little harmless fun at the thread title

He built / is building the engine himself.  It's a brand new engine and nobody is using it except for those who are programming this game.  The engine allows for atmospheric flight, seamless travel in space and on planets, incredible graphics, and more.

The videos are amazing and the game, like I said is a sandbox skill-based game that if it launches with the features it currently is adding, will blow EVE out of the water.
