No such plans so far. Focus is on plot and storytelling, so (massively) multiplayer is nothing we'd think about. There had been thoughts about cooperative multiplayer, but its not a big priority for now. We're also not quite sure how well this would really work with a plot-driven story (or how to make a story both appealing to single- and multiplayers). > P.S.

You've probably seen the resources that should help ease getting familiar with stuff a little bit: * http://adonthell.berlios.de/api/ * http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Architecture:Contents * http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Development:Getting_Started Even then there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered. Maybe the example and test scripts can then be of further help: * http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/adonthell/test/?root=adonthell And finally there's also #adonthell on irc.freenode.net to have specific questions answered (although you might have to wait a while for somebody to be around). Or just post to the list if you don't mind a somewhat slower form of communication.
