New Version Of Privateer Remake: Parallel Universe Released

My friends over at Parallel Universe have released the latest version of their popular Privateer Remake mod. Besides new features to the game itself, this marks the project's transition to SVN, which will allow players to constantly get the newest updates available as soon as they are released.

Dilloh, one of the team's lead designers, was kind enough to send over this little snippet for any of those who are wondering exactly what Parallel Universe is about:

Privateer: Parallel Universe is a remake of the original Privateer, an old PC game which was kept in mind by many players as the successor to Elite, but placed in the Wing Commander universe. Based on VS Privateer Remake 1.2, the game started as a mod for said game and quickly grew more and more, catching the interest of several hundred PR users in the first few weeks.

Unlike other remakes, Parallel Universe aims at giving the best gaming experience possible -- not only by sticking to the original experience, but by adding up-to-date graphics and ship models as well. New, individual adventures can be found throughout the various bars of Gemini, and your reward is more then just money... Maybe the Militia gets fond of you and they give you a Hornet fighter, or perhaps you might even do the Kilrathi a favour, and who knows, maybe they have a deprecated cloaking device in stock for their human friend?

If you liked Privateer, you will love Parallel Universe. The game is under constant development by die-hard Privateer fans, daily updates occurring at the moment. And if you've ever had thoughts about how Privateer could be even better in your opinion, don't hesitate and tell us at our forum!
