The Arianne project was established in 1999 and is still thriving today. The subprojects active now are a framework/engine called Marauroa for developing Internet based multiplayer games and a multiplayer online adventures game called Stendhal. Some of the original subprojects are inactive now, you can find information about these at the end of this page.
Stendhal
| Are you looking for adventure? Want to fight for riches? Develop yourself and your social standing? Meet new people? Do you want to be part of a brave new world?
Stendhal is a fully fledged multiplayer online adventures game (MMORPG) developed using the Arianne game development system. Stendhal features a new, rich and expanding world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves and dungeons. You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable experience and cold hard cash. Your character will develop and grow and with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you acquire you can buy new items and improve your armour and weapons. And for the blood thirsty ones of you; satisfy your killing desires by roaming the world in search of evil monsters! So what are you waiting for?! A whole new world awaits... Stendhal |

Marauroa Engine
| Marauroa is an open source multiplayer online games framework and engine to develop turn based and real time games. It provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. The server is coded in Java and can use Python for your game description, provides a MySQL backend and uses an TCP transport channel to communicate with dozens of players. Our reference clients are coded using Java in order to achieve maximum portability and use open technologies too.
Marauroa manages the client server communication and provides an object orientated view of the world for game developers. It further handles database access in a transparent way to store player accounts, character progress and the state of the world. |

See Marauroa for more information.
Marboard
| Marboard is an early prototype of an easy to use vector graphics program allowing live collaboration over the Internet. While it is not ready for production use yet, it is a good proof that Marauroa is suitable for serious applications, too. |
