- Fenris Creations has open-sourced the Carbon game engine, originally used for Eve Online, under permissive licenses like MIT.
- The main goals include increasing transparency, building community trust, and enabling collaborative improvements to benefit all users.
- Security is managed by reviewing contributions carefully, but open-sourcing also helps identify and fix vulnerabilities with community help.
- Fenris consulted with Godot on governance and is implementing a plugin architecture to facilitate contributions and project management.
- The engine can be used freely for any project, including commercial ones, but the focus is on community engagement rather than profit.
- Future plans include developing Carbon openly, creating a test project, and fostering an Eve-centric ecosystem of tools and experiences.
