"We plan on implementing Gomps(Generic Online Multiplayer System) or an equivalent network feature so players will be able to meet other players' "shadows" in various zones which will make towns more lively. We also plan to add basic non-real-time network functionalities to the game which will enable us to add features like "traveling via moongates" to allow you to visit maps created by other players, or "notes on the ground" left by other players which you will be able to pick up and read."
