About Atrinik
Atrinik is an open-source cooperative role-playing world. Its maintained Classic game can be played today while a new engine and toolchain are being built in public.
Two paths through the same world
The two lines share a project and a setting, but they are separate implementations with different licenses and release readiness.
The current playable line is actively maintained in the unified atrinik/classic repository. Its client, server, editor, libatrinik, and protocol share one version, release notes stream, and coordinated artifact set under GPL-2.0-or-later.
The replacement is a set of independently released, clean-room, MIT-licensed Go and Rust foundations. They are developed in public, but do not yet form a complete public download or replace the playable Classic line.
Made in the open
Classic plans, source, issues, and releases share one repository and coordinated release train. The replacement foundations remain independently released, with each repository owning its code, license, release information, and technical documentation. Progress is measured by completed work and published releases, not launch promises.
Maps, archetypes, stories, graphics, audio, and other authored content have mixed terms. Their licenses and attribution are handled per file or collection rather than inherited from either engine.
Signed publishing, protected rendezvous, and a static server directory have been implemented as foundations. Rollout and canonical public endpoints are still pending, so they are not advertised as live services.
