-==== The Manifesto ====
+**Note that a [[game-client|game client]] was also made during early alpha and will be updated and re-released in later cycles.**
-The first and most important thing about any new game is to know what is in the designer/developer’s head.  It will tell you what he believes is important, where his priorities are and, generally, which way he is likely to decide when there are multiple options.  Conveniently, Elindos has written a Game Manifesto that gives a great feel for where his head is at, what he wants to do and what he wants to avoid.  It is relatively short and extremely well written.  You should go and read it now before proceeding.
