How The Game Is Played

Darkstar roadmap goes live!!!

This is an exciting bit of news.

I have really appreciated the Project Darkstar communities willingness to deal with scant internal project information. This has been a crash project in many ways and our first focus was getting code out to you. However we're well aware that engineers do not live by code alone and in the next few months I hope all of you will be pleased to see us filling out the documentation picture and tuning the community site.

I'm pleased to announce we have an officially released road-map now. You can read it at http://www.projectdarkstar.com/wiki/doku.php/darkstarroadmap.

No, it doesn't have dates. Really, all we can say on that front still is "we're trying to get you everything as fast as we can while still making sure we give you a solid and reliable system." But at least you can see what the team's plans and internal priorities are right now.

You are all SO important to us. I don't want you to doubt that for a minute. Project Darkstar was born of my dream to fundamentally change the economics and technology of online games to bring their development and deployment into the range of the small developer while a the same time improving their scalability, reliability and content. But the Darkstar Project cannot succeed without your enthusiasm and involvement. I hope this road-map and the information that will follow will continue to make you, the community, feel like real partners in this goal.
