Ember is a client framework for Worldforge. It's not meant to be a standalone game, instead its purpose is to provide a solid and extensible base from which to build game-specific clients. One of the goals of Ember is to allow for easy customization of the codebase. Currently it supports the game world of Deeds. It's available for all modern Linux distributions, FreeBSD and MS Windows.

A blog containing up to date information on the most recent developments can be found here. All current development information (bugs, blueprints, questions etc.) is handled by the Launchpad.
