Core Beliefs

The whitepaper details this vision for EVE Frontier, a dynamic, emergent, and community-driven world where players hold the power and in which their actions have lasting consequences. The following sections outline its foundational components, starting with the core beliefs that drive its development and the design principles that shape it.

Human Growth from Shared Experiences:

The Frontier is a world defined by collective experience, conveyed through the necessity of banding together to survive its brutality in the quest to build anew. Through intense and unpredictable adversity, EVE Frontier will create meaningful human connections and personal growth among its inhabitants, driving the formation of culture and identity within the world itself. By sharing experiences with one another, we connect, learn, and grow. This is true across both the virtual and physical worlds.

Open Third-Party Development:

We envision a future for EVE Frontier that is both persistent and autonomous, independent of its creators and contributors. The efforts of players to bring civilization back to the Frontier, coupled with the game’s inherent design and technological foundations, are key to this evolution. Through a wealth of user-built utility, societies will rise and cultures will form, shaping the simulation. EVE Frontier will acknowledge and empower these community-driven developments through its framework, tools, and business model.

Thus, having an open approach to third-party development is important. Through Smart Assemblies, programmable in-game objects, and additional constructs within the game world, the community will have open access to enhance and extend aspects of EVE Frontier’s server in real time, freely expressing their creativity. We will do this by using open-source tools wherever practical, even taking the step to open-source proprietary components, such as the Carbon engine.
