Status Update

Just a quick note about what we've accomplished so far and where we're headed:

Our development team is being headed by Mr. Nick Stallman. We've finished making decisions about things like programming languages and databases, and have moved on to more interesting things like implementation details. Our GitHub repository is at http://wiki.github.com/ocs/OpenCityStreets and code to import OpenStreetMap data into the MySQL form that we will be using can be found there. We also have some interesting client side work contributed by Haroldo Mitsumi Murata.

On the design side, Jay Shong has taken the lead role and is finalizing a feature set for our initial version (and already collecting ideas for future expansion :). The concept has grown from the simple original ideas into a game with great depth, but still focused on being easy to play for casual gamers. We hope to provide an experience that will entertain and challenge a wide range of players.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the project! If you're interested in joining our team, please visit our forums or find us on IRC (#opencitystreets on irc.freenode.net)
