In the Year 2003

[Wijitmaker]

Amazing, an entire year has passed since the last time we reflected on the work of an entire year. The year 2003 was a great year for the 0 A.D. project. Here are just a few of the big news items from 2003:

• We made some great additions to the 0 A.D. staff
  
• Game Design Document has been 90% streamlined/finalised
  
• Technical Design Document has steadily grown
  
• Civilisation Profiles have been completed
  
• Building Concepts are near completion
  
• The collection of unit concepts is growing every week
  
• Basic unit models and animal models were completed
  
• Several great score of music were written
  
• New temporary website was put in place
  
• New task system was created
  
• New forum network was implemented
  
• Numerous History Articles were put in place
  
• The decision was made to go full 3d vs a 2d/3d hybrid engine
  
• Programming of the game officially started in August and has been running very smoothly
  
• Version Control System was implimented for the code
  
• Animation and the Tools required for the Object Editor were created
  
• Lots and lots of art has been created, including all the shield textures for the game (200+)
  
• GUI and Menus have been designed
  

That's incredibly brief overview of all the work that has been done over the last year, but those are the highlights. Great work team, I can't wait to do the recap for the year 2004 when we can put the words "Beta Release" on that list.

Cheers to 2003 and here's to 2004.
