The Osirion Project - ROADMAP
------------------------------------------------------------------
General:
This document describes the gameplay objectives for each
milestone of the project. Currently, milestone 0.1 has been
reached and the game universe is ready to be refined and
expanded.
Features of the engine itself, like support for new file
formats, rendering options and game server commands
are implemented along the way and, unless required,
happen independent of the gamplay roadmap.
This roadmap is not to be used as a roadplanner but as a
guide to reach a playable game.

decoration.
Multiple players can connect to the dedicated server. They can
fly around and see each other. They can use chat to communicate,
