What is Ryzom Forge?

Ryzom Forge is an ambitious collaborative project open to the gaming community and the open source community, in partnership with Winch Gate and volunteers from the Ryzom team.The partnership already established with the Kaganat project (http://khaganat.net) since the design stage of the Ryzom Forge project, has proven to us the relevance of the ambition of an opening to the open source community.

The design of this project is planned in progressive stages, each bringing its own addition to the game:

• The first step, the simplest, is to enrich available apartment items.
• The second step is to take advantage of the mastery of adding objects to create new equipable items.
• The third stage, more elaborate, and also requiring a good deal of work on the tribes "level design" side, will be to create new weapon patterns available through tribe rites.
• The final stage, called New Zone project will be the creation of a new game area.

WARNING! We cannot guarantee that the final stage can be reached, or even that the first will be achieved. But we want to give you the means to meet the challenge and to be at your side to move it forward as far as possible.
