In order to keep on track with my new game initiative, Project Venice, I am going to break it down into smaller chunks. The feeling of progress is very important to keeping a project going. The end goal is just to make a prototype, which is still a lot of work. So I've defined what my first milestone for the project will be.
Chat System. What is a multiplayer game without a chat system? I think this is a useful and reachable goal. It requires a working login system, account system, and client - server communications. As part of the chat system I really want to include configurable titles. So what better time than now to add support for them?
E-Mail Verification. As a part of the account creation system, I want to allow people to change their email address. To do this, I need to verify the address exists which means I need a mail system. It's not the most exciting of projects, but one that needs to be done. I do this for Sites with Benefits already, so I just need to port it over to Node.js.
I've already made good progress towards my goal of a chat system. I hope to have a demo of it all up and going very soon.
