Ryzom Core is the open source framework for developing MMORPGs, built upon NeL, the Nevrax Library game engine, and published under the AGPLv3 license. Graphics assets from the Ryzom game are available under both the CC-BY-SA 3.0 and Free Art License 1.3.
This page is a work in progress. Things are getting organized. Please browse through the archives on the left. The following is a loose collection of notes.
¶ Community
The Ryzom Core open-source community can be reached through IRC at #ryzom and #nel on Freenode.
Support for the Ryzom game, operated by Winch Gate, as well as the Ryzom Forge team, can be reached through Ryzom.Chat.
¶ Create your world
We need a Getting Started route for both NeL, using the Snowballs demo, and another route for Ryzom Core. It's important to advertise NeL as well, as starting out with Ryzom Core is overwhelming, and skips over several essential basics. Ryzom Forge interested folks should be forwarded to the Ryzom Forge team.
- I'm going to make my own game. Using NeL, the Nevrax Library, as your game engine, will help you bring your imagination to life in no time! Except that last 1%, that's like 99% of the time.
- My next game will be an MMORPG! Enter the brave new world of Ryzom Core, and be overwhelmed by the possibilities and complexities of creating a massively populated world...
- I want to join an existing team. Find something you like? Have a chat with the folks around here, we're nice, promise!
- I'd like to work on Ryzom. Please hold, while we transfer you to the Ryzom Forge.
