==== Description: ====
Aetherspace started as a project to teach teenagers in an afterschool
computer program 3d modeling with Blender and programming with Python. It was
transformed over four years into a decent 3d scifi-themed MMORPG with
considerable potential.

In it's current state the game is primarily flight simulation playing on the
side of the "Industrialists".  Work has been done for first-person "RPG" and
birds-eye "RTS" modes to enable the "Symbiotics" and "Silicates" as races and
should be ready in the next few months.

Over 8gigs of 3d modeling, textures, music, voice acting, and sound effects
make up the data directory.  Current work involves pruning this and
converting the data to .soy format for use in the new PySoy engine.
