     10=== Help ===
     11We need people who are really talented with models of spaceships, rockets, weapons and Noxons.
     12The modeling guidelines can be found on the wiki-pages for the [wiki:archive/Noxons Noxons], [wiki:archive/Asheroc Asheroc], [wiki:archive/Humans humans] ot the [wiki:archive/Technology technology].

     14== Universe ==
     15'''Place:''' Solar system[[br]]
     16'''Populated Planets (by humans):''' Earth, Mars[[br]]
     17'''Other known planets:''' Jupiter is a rich source of gas (hydrogen), Saturn may also be suitable for hydrogen harvesting.[[br]]
     18'''Year:''' around 2100[[br]]
     19Two alien races, the Noxons and the Asheroc, are a lot stronger and more progressed.

     24== Races ==
     25=== Humans ===
     26The human race is on an ongoing downfall. Economical and the technological progress have come to an end.
     27The youth has fallen into depression because the planet they were born on has been polluted and exploited by their forefathers.
     28They kill their time with drugs.[[br]]

     31
     32=== Noxons ===
     33The Noxons awoke all of humanity's fears of biological weapons. The Noxons symbolize evolution on drugs.
     34All their technology for space travel is based on breeding biological cells into shapes and functions needed. They ssem to possess no higher intelligence but instead have very strong carnivorous and territorial instincts.
     35Their existence could put an end to the human race.
     36With the Noxons humanity also discovered [wiki:archive/Technology Orx], a very useful but extremely dangerous material.

     40=== Asheroc ===
     41The Asheroc came to the solar system watching us. The humans know nothing about the Asheroc, except for how their science facilities on the rim of the solar system looks.
     42Asheroc technology doesn't appear to be bound to the laws of physics and seems to consist of pure energy put into a form.

     47== Technology ==
     48=== Human Technology ===
     49Mainly what the technology is nowadays.
     50The Moore's law has been broken in 2030.
     51The most important new technology is the Hydro-drive, which makes it possible for big spaceships to travel at a speed up to 2.5 Million kilometers per hour (light travels at 1.1 Billion kilometers per hour).
     52The Hydro-drive is used for interplanetary travel from Earth to Mars (travel time: between 22,5 hours and 5 days) or from Earth to Jupiter (travel time: between 10 days and more than two weeks).
     53The Hydro-drive was invented in 2035 and is controlled explosion of an H-Bomb.[[br]]
     54Mankind has also made progress in the field of biomedical engineering.
     55Most humans have implants supporting their brain functions, making them see further, react faster und think harder.
     56
     57=== Alien Technology ===
     58The technology of both alien races is yet beyond the understanding of human scientists.
     59The Noxons have no better understanding of the physics of the universe, still their ships travel at very high speed.
     60The Asheroc appear to travel through the universe by folding space with wormhole technology.

     64== Characters ==
     65Character have their individual personality. The player awakes in the role of the main character and is introduced to the situation on earth by an intro sequence.

     68
     69== Story ==
     70The first level plays during the invasion of the Noxons. The player knows no more than any other human at that time.

     73
     74== Graphics/Style ==
     75Here are a bunch of concept drawings or models, which are guidelines for the content creators.[[br]]
     76The buildings on Earth and Mars don't look the same, but similar, since there were all made by humans.
     77Since Earth has been populated for a very long time, the buildings there are old and ruined. The buildings on Mars are relatively new, the post-apocalyptic style isn't that noticeable here.[[br]]
     78Noxon spaceships and buildings are entirely organical. Everything is alive in a strange and horrifying way. Noxons inspire an animalic fear in humans; the fear of evolution running rampant.
     79Where human buildings, machines and ships are rectangular, Noxons "units" know no simple or visible geometrical rules.
     80Every race and every place where the player gets to has to have its own unique and distinctive style.
     81
     82=== Humans (Earth) ===
     83As the year is 2100, there are still a lot of nowadays's buildings on Earth.
     84
     85=== Humans (Mars) ===
     86Here the buildings are relatively new, but already decay is noticeable.
     87
     88=== Humans (Outposts) ===
     89The nearly abandoned outposts are very crappy. The lack of supplies can be seen from far away.
     90
     91=== Humans (Spaceships) ===
     92Human ships are melded from metal. They are mostly rusty and look like space shuttles or airplanes.
     93

     95
     96=== Noxons (Spaceships) ===
     97All Noxon technology is entirely biological. The player can easily see that the Noxons are evil.
     98A good example are the [http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/shivans.shtml Shivans spaceships in Freespace][[br]]

     101
     102=== Asheroc (Spaceships) ===
     103All Asheroc things are barely visible as a distortion of the background light. Their spaceships are not made of a material but of some kind of energy held in a form.
     104Asheroc spaceships look clean and rather friendly.

     108== Single Player Tech Demo ==
     109The single player of this semester will be a tech demo, which shows a cool mission of the single player as well as an example for the multiplayer part of Orxonox.
     110The demo will is intended to spark the interest of all open source games and developers in Orxonox.
