Comment on Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI remember seeing an article about it a month back. It’s just the backend that they’re open sourcing, since that will let it be audited for bugs, help the community make mods for private servers, and help other studios in the future since the backend is the hard part about making MMO’s. The devs are wanting to maintain ownership of assets like art and writing so those will not be oprn source

The backend is already open source (SpacetimeDB) but they announced that they will also be open sourcing the game code as well. But yes, the art assets will not be open but that's pretty standard for a lot of commercial games that later get open sourced (the open sourced id software projects for example).
