Project Status

This is a document describing the current progress of the project as well as how far it is from reaching the goals.

Primary focus

Our primary focus at this stage is to have the ability to load Mafia assets and make use of them. Once the majority of the formats has been taken care of, we will focus on gameplay features and miscellaneous tasks.

Terminology
