Introduction

Infinity is a massively multiplayer online game set in a futuristic persistent universe.

Mankind has eventually mastered interstellar travel and colonized thousands of planetary systems, bringing a new Era of prosperity for centuries. Today, this age of light is coming to an end. Recently, a strange disease has appeared and spread like wildfire, keeping women from becoming pregnant. The population is condamned to age and die out in a few decades if no solution is found. Fortunately, scientists have discovered in old books some references to a cure, which would naturally be abundant on the mysterious planet of Origins, where one believes that life appeared for the first time... Unfortunately, the exact location of this planet has been lost throughout the generations.

Today, the only glimmer of hope lies in the hands of a small group of fearless adventurers relentlessly exploring the galaxy, trying to discover the location of this mythical world forgotten by all.. a small blue planet better known as... Earth.

Infinity is an open-ended game in which you control a spaceship through the entire galaxy, trying to make a name for yourself. You connect to an online server on which thousands of people are playing, 24H/24. The game does not stop when you log off, but continues to evolve: it is a persistent universe. The game mechanics do not emphasize any particular gameplay style. Combat, trade, exploration, social relationships.. you are free to choose your own carrier path and goals. The only limit is your own imagination!

Infinity is not a traditional role playing game. Although all players are expected to act in concordance with their avatar?s motivations, there are no classes or skills to restrict your choices. Combats between spaceships are true real-time, and the outcome is determined by your own intelligence and reflexes. Forget turn-based action and experience the great excitement!

Using procedural techniques, the game universe has been designed to be huge and realistic. There are billions of solar systems and planets, each unique and awaiting to be discovered by a player. Coherent scales and distances are used, orbits of celestial bodies are correctly modeled and change continuously, allowing you to attend a sunrise on the moon of a giant planet, for instance.
