About
Stellar Frontier was a space shooter by Stardock Corporation, released under a source-available license, that let players command multiple AI ships in an arcade/RTS hybrid style. Space Frontier is a 2D Asteroids-style space shooter inspired by Stardock's Stellar Frontier, letting the player command multiple AI ships as an arcade/RTS hybrid. It adds procedurally generated stars and planets built on real astronomy data, and is not an exact port but reworks the concept with a modernized interface and simplified underlying code; it's released under the MIT license.
How it differs from the original
Rather than porting Stellar Frontier directly, it modernizes the user experience and significantly simplifies some of the original's more complex systems, while adding its own procedurally generated star and planet systems based on real astronomical data.
Additional notes
- Attribution
- Procedural star and planet generation draws on ideas and real astronomical data sources from other open projects (Pioneer, Stellar Dream, Accrete), though no code or assets from those projects are reused.
