dony Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Web: http://excalibur.insanedevs.com Project Excalibur is an open source game server framework and engine to develop MMORPGs and real time games. It provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. The server is coded in Java and provides a MySQL backend. Exodus: For the beginning platform will support a well known MMORPG Lineage 2 (Interlude Chronicle). The reasons for this choice are: Lineage 2 is a well known game and people will be attracted to join this community (that does not mean that development will focus on Lineage 2, but the framework development and its genericity). Already there are many emulators for this MMORPG and we can learn a lot from them. Why Java? I like it more than any other programming language ;D, but the main reasons are: scalability, performance and portability 8) . About MySQL backend for now is enough, but in the future I want to add support for different database providers. Goals: Open Source Project 4ever Best MMORPG Server Framework Flawless Software Architecture High Stability High Scalability High Performance Secure No bugs No memory leaks Cross-platform software Automated tests My expectations from the project and how I think things will happen: We will not start from scratch, but we'll start at the current stage of aCis (acis.i-live.eu), I take this opportunity to thank the aCis's community and to congratulate Tryskell for the great work they do. I want to mention very clearly, this project is NOT a fork for l2j or other similar projects, my goal has nothing to do strictly related to Lineage 2, but it's a well known game and will be a great help to attract more people to get involved. We will continue to sync L2 side of the project, from time to time, to keep interested and active community. Next step will be to clean-up and redesigned server architecture. Automated tests, there will be no new class, commited in core side, without its own test file. When we consider that it is suitable, we will add support for Lineage 2 Gracia Final, in the best case this will happen in 4-5 months. Well, what's next? Aion in 7-8 months and WoW in 1 year. If these predictors seem unreal, I want to mention that I am not interested to create a 100% emulator for these games, but to increase genericity of platform to be prepared for anything. Team: For now is just me. I know it sounds silly, and many times in life happened to me, people to doubt what I can do, but I managed to prove otherwise ;D . I don't plan to work on this alone, I'm sure lot of people will join and help and a lot more will leech >:( . Even if 100 devs will want to join the team, I will accept all who know what they doing, but for now I'm the only one who will can commit. I am very strict about code quality so I prefer to personally check every new line of code. Quote
