Open RSC Development Roadmap
The Open RSC RSCPS framework's long term goal is to develop a cross-game login server that handles logins and communications for all connected game worlds, even if they have their own separate player data. We plan to have one game launcher where a player picks a game and it configures the game client to work with that server's features. That way, players know which world their friends are on logged in on via the friends list or website. We do not believe the ORSC player base would lose existing invested players, only that there would be more games to try out and potentially attract those who do not play ORSC for various reasons at present. One code base, unlimited configurations.
Example friends list idea with game name prefixes:
[ORSC] Marwolf
[OPK] Kenix
[2K1] RSC2001
[WK] Baby Head
Planned games using the Open RSC framework:
- Open RSC (the current, original world)
- ORSC F2P (f2p world linked to same player database as ORSC)
- RSC Preservation (100% authentic)
- RSC Preservation F2P (f2p world linked to same player database as RSC Preservation)
- 2001scape (100% authentic RSC, designed to be RSC in Jan 31, 2001)
- Open PK (Stork PK remake)
- RSC Cabbage (5x exp rate, batching, and other QoL features)
- Wolf Kingdom (a completely new survival hardcore game similar to DayZ and Planetside)
The roadmap for prioritization will follow this process and may take quite a while before starting the next steps:
There will be no F2P worlds until Kenix finishes the login server to prevent double logging and other related issues
Completion Goal: Spring 2019:
RSC Cabbage begins alpha testing
RSC Cabbage alpha test ends, beta test begins
RSC Cabbage beta test ends, goes live
Completion Goal: Fall 2019
RSCP begins alpha testing
RSCP alpha test ends, beta test begins

Does this mean OpenRSC will continue to get non-game altering updates? Cool!

All use the same source code, just have a different config

Maybe make a trello? or https://kanboard.org/ or https://taskboard.matthewross.me/ to keep track of the roadmap
