Paradigm shift: Kobol will be an API, game clients will be built on top | |
| Code review and discarding of loosely rebuilt elements. | |
|
|
Infrastructure refactoring: taken elements from the original idea to bring four building blocks: | |
| CMS: where everything is designed. | ||
| Profiler: will be the entry point of realms, will provide root elements to the game client and the cards depot. | ||
| GameServer: will serve all requests to the game client and control battle flow. | ||
| Stas server: will receive stats from the other blocks and build reports. | ||
| Game clients will live on the realm websites, and the websites will only interface with the GameServers. | ||
