First announced at the Game Developers Conference in March 2007, Project Darkstar source code is now available for download and free use under the GPLv2 license.

Project Darkstar is the video game industry's first enterprise grade, high performance, fault tolerant and highly scalable server technology for online, multiplayer games. Project Darkstar has been designed from the ground up to handle almost any kind of online game imaginable.

From card games to full blown MMOGs, Project Darkstar is the perfect technology to get you up and running quickly, allowing you to focus on building your game, not network technologies.
