Universal World Owners Manual

Welcome to The Universal World Owners' Manual.

The Universal is a customisable game engine, your world server program controls graphics settings and files, game logic and events, and you can adjust all this via settings, configuration files and server-side scripting to create worlds of various different types - from creating a persistent world economy, to making a team-based combat game or a floating art gallery. The world server attempts to be flexible, and learning all you can do with it is a long process..

If you're interested in game design & development, and have a lot of time & patience, then you may find building a world rather fun.
