The networking has reached a point where it is solid enough to continue on to the next phase in development.  Now I must decide what will be the next phase and what direction I wish to take the project.

The following needs to be completed for pre-alpha:

  • Landscape and world environment system. Meaning, very basic terrain that is randomly generated on the server, and sent to the client.  The ability for the player to walk around this world.
  • Basic interface for chat, status reporting, and debugging purposes.
  • Basic player model with basic animation sequences for walking and idle.

I believe that these are valid and sufficient goals for the first pre-alpha version, and will lay the framework for continued development.

More screenies as time moves on… :)
