Revision as of 20:55, 18 June 2013 by Jaxad0127 (talk | contribs) (Some updates and new links)
This is the landing page for The Mana World development. Development for The Mana World is divided up into several interacting areas: Maps, Graphics, Audio, Server Data, and Server Development. Development is done on IRC, Trello, and the forums. Each area has different IRC channels, Trello boards, and forum sections. In addition, two areas have their own bug trackers. Tmw logo.png

Graphics

ForumTrello#themanaworld-art


Graphics determine what the world looks like. This includes the tiles that maps are made of, the sprites that beings (players, NPCs, monsters, etc) are made of, and other visual things.

Maps

ForumTrello#themanaworld-dev


Maps determine how the world is arranged. This includes the world layout, how each area is arranged, where objects and entities (NPCs, monsters, and the like) are placed, where they can move, how maps link up, and the like.

Audio

ForumTrello#themanaworld-sound


Audio is what the world sounds like. This includes the sounds that accompany actions like walking and attacking (SFX) and the background music that is played in each area (music).

Server Data

ForumTrelloBug tracker#themanaworld-dev


Server data includes the underlying mechanics of the world. This includes the technical definition of monsters and items, the code behind NPCs, and the like.

Server Development

ForumBug tracker#tmwa


This concerns development of tmwAthena, the server platform that The Mana World runs on.
