From TOP SECRET PROJECT - WIKI
[edit] Welcome to the Project Top Secret Wiki!
- Project Top Secret was created and is being directed by long time gaming veteran David Perry. Perry is the creator of games such as Earthworm Jim, MDK, and Matrix:Path of Neo. The project is supported by Acclaim Entertainment, and the resulting game will be published by Acclaim.
- Project Top Secret has enlisted a community of thousands of gamers to collaborate with each other in the development of a Scalable Multiplayer Online Racing Game for wide distribution. The game will be free to play and supported by advertising and ingame item purchases. Top Secret will spotlight and encourage game design and development talent that can be found all over the world, with a special prize going to one individual who stands out in a substantial way during the course of the project. The project was announced in January, 2007, with the forums opening to team members in March of that same year. The game development cycle will last through 2008. The Top Secret forums server as a "virtual office" for the Top Secret team members, and there is room for up to 100,000 people to join the project.
- The design process is split into Milestones, each one representing a substantial design phase. Once the team completes a Milestone they move to the next one. Milestones are split into Tasks, all of which must be completed before moving to the next Milestone. There may be many Tasks running at the same time.
- This Wiki will be used to record the development process. Here you can see which Tasks have been completed, the results of each, and which are currently in progress.
- As new Milestones or Tasks are opened or added, they will be recorded here.
[edit] Project Status
In March, 2008, the official Design Doc was frozen. All core gameplay features were documented including supporting formulas and proof sheets.
The second phase of the project dealing with content development and support of the development teams kicked off.
