Ok, this is the game I'm working on now. Inspiration for this game comes from such titles as Elite/Frontier, Privater. Google is your friend if you don't know this games ;). As a short description I can tell you that action of this games (and my also) is located in space, you are the owner of spaceship and you can travel to different solar systems, trading, exploring, fighting pirates etc. I want the same to be in my game plus some more ;), one thing what will be different is view. In my game you won't sit in your ship's cockpit, to simplify my work a bit I want to make a view like in homeworld. As for name.. GAWIN is acronym - Game Without Any Interesting Name, I've just switched A with W, so it sounds better. When I will come up with some story then maybe this GAWIN will mean something. Anyway here is first screen :
The dwarf and text are just 2D gui test stuff (yes this is still my own furion engine written in java), what you can see is star (the biggest sphere in the center) and two planets, one planet (this bigger one) has one moon. Engine has it's own scenegraph implemented so planets are revolving around star and moon is revolving around it's planet and around star.

I just thought of something. You can actually abbreviate "GAme Without An Interesting Name" as "GAWAIN", which opens up the possibility for all kinds of British folktale elements to be incorporated, maybe as ship names or weapon names or some such (think Sir Gawain and the Green Knight).
...or Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin, and Sir Lancelot, and Sir Calvin, and King Arthur too... :-)
