Edit: Danmakufu has been always strongly discussed on mkm's Japanese forums which you couldn't access without a Japanese IP. When he still was actively developing, several of us have reported bugs using VPN. Mkm didn't discriminate the help, but he was in control of the entire project. That control is gone now. This has nothing to do with being open or closed. Why he decided to suddenly make it open source, who knows. So if everybody manages to combine forces and carry on a organized project, there might be good things happening. Though let us be very serious here: Language barrier is a thing. --- End quote --- How long ago was that? It's been years since mkm's updated anything hasn't it? I also wonder how it can be considered dead when there's still an active community involved with it |

At the moment, we're trying to get an organized (hint: no conflicting standards) attempt at 'fixing' some of the problems with DNH now that it's open source. It will take some time to see if any meaningful progress is made. |

People who use the engine were/are active, yes. But development was pretty much stalled. --- Quote from: Sparen on January 04, 2019, 05:31:51 PM ---At the moment, we're trying to get an organized (hint: no conflicting standards) attempt at 'fixing' some of the problems with DNH now that it's open source.

Or does anybody knows what the eastern community is doing with this news? |

So far, it seems that the current LOCAA effort is going to be done by the English-speaking side. But of course it's only been a few hours and I don't know if Ultima created the repository yet, so things are still in the organizational stage. |
