I'm also trying to create a game on my own and I plan to sell it when it's finished.
It's a space-sim like Freelancer.
BUT: I'm currently designing my own editor in VB, to create the datafiles, which will be used by my game.
The dataformat is entirely mine (I created the structure of the file-layout).
The 3D-objects (asteroids, space-stations, planets, jumpgates (including wormholes) will be mine too.
As for all other stuff in the game (like sounds, code, textures, interfaces, ...).
I only look at Freelancer to get some ideas to implement in my own game (but the code and stuff will be entirely mine).
I don't think they can really shut me down, can they?
Even the title will not be "Freelancer".
I wanted to call it "Spacegame 3D" or something like that,
but I searched the Internet for "Spacegame" and it already exists (a very simple 2D shooter of some kind).
I know, I'm not really creative with the name of the game yet, but that can change, as I've not thougth about the perfect name yet.
