Infinity is an open-ended game in which you control a spaceship throughought the entire galaxy, trying to make a name for yourself. You connect to an online server on which thousands of people are playing, 24/7. 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. Combat between spaceships is in true real-time, and the outcome is determined by your own intelligence and reflexes. Forget turn-based action and experience the great excitement of a first person experience!
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.

Many people, including moddb members have requested more videos from Infinity. Unfortunately, as we mentioned already the development of Infinity is in a stage where it’s hard to show new media. Still, in the past year a lot of fans and contributors have made great fan trailers and video contributions.
One of the most Impressive fan trailers made in 2009 was a promotition trailer of one of the Infinity Player Organisations (guild/clan), who have already formed. The Black Order have released a shiny promotion trailer consisting of only footage from the ICP. The video clip, that runs slightly over three minutes was directed by [TBO]Litos and involved members from The Black Order, Axis Incorporated and a couple of people from the community. It involves stunning flybys and epic dogfights between those participating, so make sure to stay to the end and check out the massive Carrier fight at the end, we have never seen the ICP engine look so good!
One of our active contributors Altfuture has posted an amazing video visualization of what a Deltan city in Infinity may look like when the release date comes. The video takes you through the city in a shuttle during daylight hours, weaving in, out and over many different sidescrapers while driving alongside many other shuttles going about their own business throughout the scene. Keep in mind that this is only a pre-rendered version of a Deltan city through the eyes of one of the community members, but it really does get the imagination going! This video is not ingame but all the art assets you see in this video are created for Infinity and we envision the cities in Infinity to look atleast as good or even better.

Will this be pay-to-play? Frankly, it should be about $50 a month- these are the best graphics I have ever seen.
Hey! Another MMO for me not to give money to!
how can i create an account
will this be a 1 time pay?
they can't charge anything, beacuse they haven't bought the rights from MGM that ownes stargate
And since when did MGM/stargate own anything to do with this game.
In other words: It will be a pay to play MMO.
Is it also going to have gameplay?
Or only graphics, physics and landscape generators?
when I saw this game,it had raped me in an epic portion of epicness because of this games epicness,this game will beat every ******* game ever made.long live infinity :D
InfinityAdmin works for a virtual reality company in Brussels, close to where he lives. If he isn't programming for his work he is programming for Infinity. I've never seen anyone so dedicated to a project. The fact that this is his goal and main occupation for many years makes me confident that eventually the game will get finished and that he will never give up on it. Infinity is a part of his life, and of that of many people working on Infinity.
You can find a nice amount of documentation on our website, please check:

Thanks! ;)
