Von Neumann Defense Force source code is now available

Is anyone familiar enough with this game to write up a quick TLDR? I can tell that it's an MMO in progress, and that it's space-based, and I'm guessing from the name that you probably build autonomous self-replicating probes... but that's as far as I got from skimming the newsletters.

OK author, since I see you are reading the comments here: Would you care to add some info about what worked well and what you would do differently next time?

The concept of the game is fascinating. Realism-based starship movement is a concept that many modern games sorely lack in it&#x27;s entirety.<p>A question for the developer; What status is the unfinished game presently in relative to what you initially envisioned?

The most interesting thing about this is, that it is written in Rust.

I will be useful to know the reasons why it was abandoned
