So for the past 13 weeks, our last semester, my class were split into teams, given the commercial game engine Gamebryo, given a project specification and told to get to work. We were also told we were going to asessed at 2 milestones by industry professionals.

Here's a video of the final product

Newton Inversion Space Trading Game

Not sure yet, but we might be able to negotiate something with emergent to let us distribute this for free, but obviously not source code.

Just 13 weeks? :o That looks so much more than standard which is what most space sims are (I weep, for it's my favourite genre). That's really awesome! :o
