August 2025 | Expanding The Community
We are in the final stages of finishing a small demo of the game we have been working on internally. Before doing so, we are working on making sure we have the infrastructure in place to support our community when we open this project for collaborative development.
This involves migrating from our Mercurial repositories that run on Kallithea to the newer and more feature filled Forgejo. This move will allow us to take advantage of Git File Locking, which is likely to be a requirement for a larger team while working with binary files.
When we started developing Cardinal Menu, Git LFS was new and most open source repositories consumed a very large amount of memory when working with large binary files. We didn't want to pay for a VPS that had both a large storage capacity and a large amount of system memory. They can be expensive.
There's still a lot of things to set up. And everything takes far longer than it would seem. But we are shooting for a late 2025 release.
We hope to see you on the road ahead.
