Probably this is too ambitious and I have to come up with a new plan soon ...
but here is what I have in mind now:

Genre: "UFO (allusion in title) - Enemy Unknown"-esque ... with FPS elements

Rendering: OpenGL
Input: Win32 API
Sound: Audiere (2d sound only)
UI: Homebrew, too

Graphics: GIMP
Modeling: Blender
Music: I hope my brother produces something cool ... Line 6 - TonePort (afaik)
Sound Editing: Sound samples will be a huge problem

Snacking: Soup ... with lots of pasta for the calories. Probably some bananas.


* unfortunately this is the result of a google-search:
International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation
So maybe I'll call it G.O.F instead (German Order Force) **

** ... crap: Goblet Of Fire (I think coming up with a name is a huge problem, too)

Game Slogan: 'Finally a game for programmers!' [smile]

Quote:

UI: Homebrew, since I couldn't find anything acceptable for MDX/C#

What's wrong with the UI included with DXUT? It even does correct international text input, which most other UIs don't do.
