Cyphesis 0.5.4 Release
Cyphesis version 0.5.4 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Cyphesis is a small to medium scale server for WorldForge games, with builtin AI. This version includes the demo game Mason which is currently in development. This release is intended for server administrators wishing to run a Mason server and World developers developing new worlds or game systems.
Major changes in this version:
- A number of bugs have been fixed which caused the server to abort.
- Artificial intelligence code has been modified so that NPCs can answer questions about things in the world.
- Characters can no longer attack themselves.
- Houses now have collision structures so it is possible to go inside them.
Source code and Linux binary packages can be downloaded from here:

How does Cyphesis behave in a distributive network (i.e. Beowulf Cluster)?
AI’s are a passion of mine and I am very interested in working on the world forge project. I’m looking an excuse to build a mandrake Cluster.

Cyphesis is not currently multithreaded, so it does not benefit from running on a parallel system or cluster. In the long term we hope to develop an architecture that allows us to run multiple instances of cyphesis each just running AI, connected to a world server.
