AESOP Multiplayer Game Framework

AESOP is a framework for storytellers. In particular, it is designed for creating multiplayer networked 3D games.

This library (aesop-mgf) is a simple shell repository, used to make it easy for developers to build the many sub-libraries and repository sources needed for full games.

The two main sub-libraries are aesop-server (the reference server implementation) and aesop-client (a sample OpenGL-based client implementation).

AESOP is aimed at storytellers focused at small groups (16-32 people at most) all participating in the same story. It is not a MMORPG engine. You may want to try WorldForge for that.

This library is released under the BSD License.

Status
This library is in alpha stage.

Download
There is no binary download: instead, this project uses the Wavepacket Build System to automatically pull down the appropriate version of source, and build that locally.

Each release is actually a small .build file that drives a build script to automatically build a local copy of repositories for you. Each release contains a .build file and an html file with instructions.
