So what's going on those few weeks?

Some of you might have figured out that there are no updates on the actual game on the SVN. That's because the current game version is from now on considered depreciated and will be replaced by the new engine (G-Engine).

The new engine is located on /branches/gengine (on SVN) and I estimate a first beta by the beginning of the new year.

So what are the differences?

They are quite many I must say... first of allm the new engine is NOT the game. It's only the runtime that provides a lot of helping structures and tools, in order to create games in pure Javascript and PHP.

The game itself is a group of extensions that will be developed, maintained and released separately. That way, you can customize your game by installing only what's needed.

Also, that way, each extension can also have it's own licence. GPL3 is not mandatory.

What are the future plans?

First of all, the release of a stable version of the engine is a top priority task. And by the "engine", I mean -again- only the runtime and NOT the game.

After that, the engine documentation will be on focus. When this stage is completed, all the users, developers, artists, and other contributors will have all the required material in order to create their own additions to the game.

And finally, when this phase is also over, there will be some updates on the website that will allow you to publish your own game content to the people interested!

That's for now and see you around ;)
