<code>SinisterWars is still in early development, but the core direction of the game is already taking shape.
The current build is focused on proving and refining the systems that everything else will depend on: multiplayer gameplay, race combat, space combat, scoring, player progression, vehicles, weapons, and map support.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT FOCUS
The present WebGL build is being used to test the core game systems in a live multiplayer environment.
Development is currently centered on improving gameplay reliability, balancing combat, refining controls and movement, expanding map support, and making sure the multiplayer systems work correctly before the project moves into a larger stage of development.
NEW MAPS
New maps are planned for both race combat and space combat.
Each map can support its own style of gameplay, environment, and competitive scenario. The goal is to avoid locking the game into a single type of match or a single gameplay loop.
Community-created maps will also be supported through the Map Submissions & Workshop forum, giving players and creators a place to share ideas, works in progress, and finished map submissions.
VEHICLES AND WEAPONS
Additional vehicles and weapons are planned as development continues.
New vehicles can bring different handling, speed, durability, and combat styles, while new weapons can create more variety in both race combat and space combat.
Balance will continue to change as new equipment is added and tested.
MORE GAMEPLAY SCENARIOS
SinisterWars is being built so the game can expand beyond the current race combat and space combat modes.
Future scenarios may introduce different objectives, rules, team structures, or styles of competitive gameplay without changing the core identity of the game.
PLAYER PROGRESSION AND STATS
Player progression, scoring, and statistics will continue to be expanded.
SinisterWars is already connected to SinisterGaming's HLStatsX system, allowing player rankings and performance to be tracked separately from the core game client.

FUTURE ENGINE UPGRADE
The current version of SinisterWars is being built from the ground up in WebGL.
This version provides the development foundation needed to establish and test the game's major systems.
Once those systems are further developed and proven, a future major milestone is planned to move SinisterWars beyond its current browser-based foundation with a full engine upgrade.
That transition will come later. The priority right now is making sure the game itself works, plays well, and has a solid multiplayer foundation before moving into the next stage.
ACTIVE TESTING
SinisterWars will continue to change throughout development.
Players should expect maps, vehicles, weapons, balance, scoring, graphics, and gameplay systems to be adjusted as testing continues.
Bug reports, feedback, and suggestions can be posted in the SinisterWars forums.
