Open Source of Online Game Technology Project Darkstar
Now it's official - on monday at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco we announced plans to open source Project Darkstar, a ground-breaking online game server platform written entirely in Java technology. Additionally we also announced the opening of registration for the Darkstar Playground, which will enable developers to create a wide variety of games that can be provisioned through a single server platform.
Game developers can download the latest version of Project Darkstar at www.projectdarkstar.com. This new release of Project Darkstar features a simpler programming interface for increased productivity; plug-in APIs to facilitate integration of third party extensions; and enhancements for scalability , robust performance, and fault-tolerant operation. The source code for Project Darkstar will become available under a GPL license in the coming months, and further details will be provided at Sun's JavaOne conference May 9 in San Francisco.
But the most exciting news news was that the leading MMORG Developer NCsoft validates Darkstar! They have built Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORG) like Guild War and many others...
