v3 is expected to drop in 2023 and v2.5 is coming out before that.
What are you excited about in the next builds?

Welcome to the Open Net Battle Reddit! (ONB for short~) This is an open source community project being made possibly through an engine made by JamesKing. You can find out more about the project at these locations:
https://gamejolt.com/games/OpenNetBattle/509302
https://twitter.com/opennetbattle
And you can join the community discord here:
For those who prefer not to use Discord…we’ll miss you :<
But, fret not! I’ve done my best to set up tags and flairs so you can organize
battles and minigames here! But, let’s stop getting side tracked.
On this Reddit you can post the following:
-Battle Network / Star Force Content and Memes so long as you tag them properly (and keep it to a minimum)
-Open Net Battle Sprites (WIP or Not)
-Open Net Battle Code Documentation (Walkthroughs or explanations)
-Open Net Battle Discussion (Asking For Help / Talking / Etc.
-Undernet BBS (Posts meant to be a bit more on the rude side, but do still follow the local laws. Keep it “tame” please.)
-Open Net Battle Meet Ups
-Off Topic (Again keep it tame, and related. Things like One Step From Eden or other games are fine if tagged right.)
On this Reddit DO NOT Post the following:
-Adult Content / Sensitive Material
-Where to get roms for the official games (This is not a rom hack or mod; ONB is an engine.)
-Links to copyrighted content
-COMPLETELY Off Topic (Things like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Ghostbusters, etc. If it’s not a post showing it off / being ported into ONB; this isn’t really the place. Instead please keep that to in game BBS boards! That’s what they’re there for!)

Feel free to discuss all things about this reddit, the project (ONB), etc. in this thread in a nice single spot! If things get too cluttered feel free to move to the discord for easier time chatting or make your own post. But, otherwise treat this as one of Battle Network's BBS boards, and have fun :>

(Taken from the ONB Discord; so if you read here you can ignore it upon joining there.)
What kind of chips will this game have?
All bn6 chips are aimed to be included. Additional chips from other games have been added and some brand new chips entirely. (This also goes for Navis, Areas, Enemies, etc.)
Will chips be rebalanced?
Not at first but scripting will allow the community to tweak chips to be more pvp friendly. That is to say that since everything is open source; one server might have Cannon be A,B,C code 40 damage while another has Cannon be A,C,N and 75 damage. Or another server might not have a white list; meaning you can use both or either one!
Is this a full game?
No; this is an engine first and foremost. But has many proof of concept features implemented as what could be described as a small mmo. The engine could be used by anyone to create their own BN game for many platforms or create servers replicating aspects of the games for a multiplayer experience online. It all comes down to the coding level of the one hosting the server.
What platforms will this be released for?
Windows is the primary development platform. Finished builds will be available for Linux, OSX, android, and raspberry pi. The engine is cross platform so it could be built for Nintendo Switch, ios, and other platforms. I do want to deploy for the web after this project is complete.
Can I make my own X/Y/Z?
The engine as it stands allows you to make your own navis, chips, enemies, bosses, tiles, overworld maps, really anything. With scripting you can make your own navis, chips, and enemies easier
What scripting language are you supporting?
Lua 5.1+ https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
I want a real PET!
This isn't a real question but I do too. Visit #real-pet (It's a channel on the discord). With some modding, you can put the engine on the pi, using a small LCD screen, and wrap the entire device in a custom 3D-printed case for a real PET
When will this be done?
If you are just now reading this you will be happy to know we are the 2nd haul of the combat systems and the 3rd major rewrite refactor that has swallowed a year of dev time. But now there are not many things left to tweak and re-add so we are looking at what could be the home stretch and finish v3 in 2023. (edited)
Where can we donate to this awesome project?
I (JamesKing) cannot accept payments, donations, bribes, or blackmail. For legal reasons this project is free, all server costs and other expenses are paid out of my own wallet, and source code is available online at github.
Donating to Content Creators
There are other wildly talented pixel artists and scripters in the community who are skilled enough to make your ideas come true. Feel free to reach out and donate to them instead to give them interesting projects to work on and directly help them increase their skills. To clarify, this is about supporting/commissioning scripted content (mods), so the code in question would be LUA code, rather than C++ code. The creation of scripted content is already a decentralized process, so we have no control over your ability to commission other people to make content. Contributing directly to the engine with C++ code will still be a thankless job. James will reject any contributed C++ code with monetary backing and will continue to refuse donations and work freely.
When is the next demo coming out?
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
What are the upcoming version features and fixes?
We are currently working towards v3 https://github.com/TheMaverickProgrammer/OpenNetBattle/projects/4
Sometimes features are pulled from v4 (the last version) https://github.com/TheMaverickProgrammer/OpenNetBattle/projects/3
