ET Vicarious Visions Software is putting the finishing touches on a new space combat role-playing game that will be released simultaneously for Mac, PC and Linux systems. Called Terminus , the game involves a detailed storyline, which takes place in outer space. Terminus is set two centuries in the future. Through fits and starts, mankind has populated the solar system. The United Earth League, the Mars Consortium, The Marauders, and Mercenaries.
Players are able to participate in either a single-player or multiplayer game.
Vicarious Visions says that Terminus sports a realistic flight model based on Newtonian physics, as well. As a persistent universe, time in Terminus passes and events occur outside of the player's direct involvement with the game. Missions come and go regardless of whether or not the player or players take them. Likewise, fighter jocks defending the Earth League or the Mars Consortium have their responsibilities, too. Vicarious Visions is trying to make it as easy as possible for Mac gamers to get their hands on the game.
