I do not want to wait the world being finished when the engine is ready, as happened with the Majik 4, besides, there will be no disaster if we do it right. Also, it can be more fun. For example, the creator of Ultima Online has said that when they let the players to do their own cities, these cities became more interesting than the ones made by the developers. Just an simple example proof of concept. -- Tommi Leino / Majik 3D project namhas@majik3d.org https://majik3d-legacy.org
