We're in GSOC for the 4th year running :) Our organization and community continues broadening as does the potential for where to work in a GSOC project. Terasology's engine and module land remains primary, but there are so many supporting tools and projects now, along with Destination Sol being...

Much to share, still terrible at keeping up with activity as it happens! The play test for March is scheduled to start in just past 10 hours from this thread being posted (noon US eastern). It'll be using the Alpha 12 Omega zip and related notes and bug hunting will happen on the GitHub triage...

Next scheduled play test is in about 24 hours (noon eastern time Saturday), although it might be more of an on-and-off type thing for the weekend when there's activity and testing interest. In addition I'd like to run a few dev discussion sessions like we did back during the holidays as they...

GCI has finished as of a few days ago, hooray lots of new stuff and cool students! Prizes won't be announced till early January though, oh the suspense :) Finalist evaluation is now in progress, and in just about a month GSOC season begins although we won't know for a while if we'll manage to...

GSOC season is over! Which means it is time for GCI instead, with even less rest for the weary than last year as it got moved up a month this time, meaning it starts for students in about three weeks. Coincidentally that also means it will partially overlap with Hacktoberfestwhich starts...

And first formal news post in a while, although it is starting out pretty small. It'll grow over the next week! The first project post is still around, and it sure has been an adventure since, and continues to be. Hard to keep on top of all the happenings these days as the project has expanded...

Lots of things going on, would be another way to put it. GSOC has started properly, yay! 9 students going full speed and blog posts are already popping up. See its sub-forum for details The big Alpha 10 / engine v2 release is targeted for the beginning of June, even if it won't necessarily be...

Maybe architecture meeting Sunday: fill out this poll if interested / able to make it. DS stuff at its conclusion, maybe. With engine v2 just about out the door I've been thinking about architecture and trying to sort out what we should try to prioritize for when. Started this some time ago...

Busy times these days! Will try to be brief: Next weekend Saturday May 5th is our scheduled play test and should help get some more GSOC student/mentor/project stuff going Speaking of playing things we have a Factorio server running until maybe Tuesday sometime. Come check it out! Then build it...

While we didn't have the slot count to fit @manas96's GSOC 2018 proposal for applying Gestalt's entity system library to Destination Sol over this summer we've seemingly got enough community activity to maybe do it as a more casual community project. I'd like to find out who might be interested...

Edit: Summary blog post is up! Congratulations to our students for 2018! We got 9 slots this time out of 12 we were strongly considering, so there were some hard choices to make. There were also other great proposals we just couldn't dig up enough mentors for. Still I appreciate all the...

For years now we've gone through a series of various crafting systems, ways to categorize materials, using machines, and defining various form of networks to route just about anything around. Plenty of experiments and actual content, but nothing yet has stood out as a clear standard to build all...

After about two months we finally have a solid Omega zip again, with some of the big stuff for v2.0.0 merged and stabilized :-) Fittingly the build number landed on 900, so we'll be play testing that build: Omega 900 zip Note that as the day goes by (I expect to start early and keep going...

This release contains most the stuff that came in during GCI 2017 and then some. Immediately after this we're beginning to merge things into the engine for v2.0.0 that are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible: our first new major release (for about two years?) since we adopted SemVer. That...

Bit of a mouthful there but as usual news keeps piling up until there is a chance to write it all out in one big glorious mess :) Ludicious and "TeraConf" Ludicious happened in Zurich Jan 18-21st and a few of us were in attendance with a booth and everything. The day before it started we...

Terasology is attending the Ludicious 2018 conference in Zurich as announced and bunch of contributors registered. But, wouldn’t have been cooler if we decided to take an extra day and arrange a mini-internal Terasology conference? You guessed it :) - that is exactly what we did. On January...

We got into Google Code-In again this year and have more mentors and higher expectations than last year - it should be a blast, and a whirlwind of activity! If anybody already familiar with our code and community wants to volunteer as a mentor let me know. Otherwise just hang out on IRC and...

Technically we're 6 years and a day plus change at this point, but close enough :-) Usually we try to celebrate with an event in late September, but my schedule is a little out of whack these days and I'm still poking at a little surprise I'm hoping will be ready in time. We also have our...

I won't be able to do the release justice with a single post, and nobody would read it anyway due to the length :) Here I am simply going to highlight a few very visible changes and do an overview of new modules. The engine changes are massive but may not impact content as much as module...
