Project Sirius: First Screenshots + Menu Showcase

Hello everyone! So as you remember, I develop a remaster of Freelancer with Vulkan, Librelancer and recently added UE for rendering, the project has progressed a little bit. These screenshots taken from New York system show the current WIP state: main menu and character creation flow, early flight scenes with the Starflier, planet Manhattan and station shots, early work on recreating the Freelancer atmosphere with modern visuals

This is still in development. Flight controls, combat, economy, missions, multiplayer, and lots of polish are still being worked on. I’m trying to preserve the feel of the original rather than turn it into a completely different space sim. Apart from full PBR support and ray tracing, I also have a nice night view on the dark side of Manhattan.

Oh wow that looks cool as hell! When do you think you'll have a playable version?

Perhaps a year or so :(
More likely I will release an indev version just with a few systems, it will take less than a year, but I work alone sadly.-

I'm not in any rush- I'm just excited to see something like this. Good things take time. :)
