A possible freelancer 2?

I came across a game development engine called 3D game studio and was wondering if it would be possible to build freelancer 2 with this software? It is a program that you would buy outright so you would own any rights to whatever you made with it. I doubt that you could call it freelancer 2 ( maybe you could with enough dealing with MS) but is it doable? I myself do not have the time to start such a project ( or even the skill at this time to pull such a stunt like this off) because I have other projects on my table at this time.
here is the website :
somehow the edit statement became the link. it will link you to the 3D GameStudio website.

thanks for the feedback chavez. I am no judge on such things so that is why I asked for the statement of others. and no I am not that new here lol.


Alfa the link sent me to a post that was asking for WS to relese a second freelancer or for the modders to make some kind of total conversion. I am not asking for that, I am asking if there is anyone here who would be able to use a software development program and MAKE a NEW game. Big diference. No patition, no mod, no total conversion,but a whole new game. Yes this would be a major undertakeing and it would most likely take the efforts of the WHOLE modding community. But it would be worth it. Not only for the fans of freelancer but it may very well be used as a centerpiece for the people who made the game to begine a career as a game developer.

the post did mention useing the alliance game engine but that was shot down. I did not post there because the main subject of the post was about asking WS to make the game and I felt that my post would be too off subject, despite others haveing mentioning it, and I dont hijack posts. But there are other game engines out there for sale that might be useable. So what do all of the modders think? If I had the time I would do this myself ( I am just that ambious) but I am trying to open my own business in RL as well as develope my own board game, so I dont have the time to collect the resorces or seek the proper permission to do this.

Sorry, I didn't know that that was not abou the same. Also, what kind of board game are you trying to create? And what is you company name?

Lol that info is at this time highly classified. The game has not yet been copyrighted so I cant really talk about that. As for the business I am working around a few names, since I will be running a art supply store I want a french sounding name.

Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

3d game studio huh?....
i'v checed this one once.. well that was some how complicated for me back then, but not a bad idea at all.
one thing thou : if its for amaters to do, that's gona tack a loooooooong time to do somthing like FL whith all the faction/commodies and other stuff....
besids , it might not be even as good as the first FL, all depends on the skilds of the new staff. and wen it coms to creating new games, i think using C++ or any other visual studio prog. wil be beter, and more stable.
so i recommend (since MS dosn't seams to wiling to help us..) we contact any other game developers (like Ubisof or Eidos for exemple mabe ?) and ask them to *help* us make FL2, new peaple will work with them since it's only *helping*...
and a new way for theese game produser to search for tallent...

Well there is a lot of real talent here, just check ut some of the big mods. Some of these mods are almost a new game altogether. And like I have said earlier it will take the whole modding communty to pul something like this off. Well modders can all of you do this? If you can this might be big news and a message for the major game companies out there.

Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.
