Since my announcement of WinLom99 the scope and rules of the project have changed, and thus I think it important to clarify my thoughts on the subject.<\/p>\n
The project shall now be known by the term “The Midnight Project” and this will include;<\/p>\n
1. The Midnight Engine ( back-end )
\n2. A Default Front-end
\n3. WinLom99 Scenario
\n4. The Editor<\/p>\n
In order to facilitate the release and actual fulfilment of the project, a basic skeleton of the engine (alpha1.00) will be released with the Lom Scenario ASAP.<\/p>\n
This will allow me to evaluate and structure all future enhancements, features etc.. accordingly.<\/p>\n
The database for the LOM scenario will be in a format that is easy to modify and understand but will only be the basis on which the project will grow. No detailed specification will be implemented or suggested.<\/p>\n
The editor will follow later when a better overall picture is available. This will allow for further consultation with all would be authors. Maybe someone else may want to take on this part of the project.<\/p>\n
Nothing about the project is or will be fixed by the release of alpha1.00 I just want to place the project out into the public domain as quick as possible to allow for a gradual but better development of the engine. It may even be that certain elements of the engine may be hard- wired at this initial stage until better analysis has be given on the first release. I will however try my best to avoid such issues.<\/p>\n
In order to get to actual alpha1.0 I may have to ignore bigger scope suggestions; but don’t think they will have been dropped I will just have to feel my way through this initial stage.<\/p>\n
