From The Mana World
This is the landing page for The Mana World development. Development for The Mana World is divided up into several interacting areas: Maps, Graphics, Audio, Server Data, and Server Development. Development is done on IRC, Trello, and the forums. Each area has different IRC channels, Trello boards, and forum sections. In addition, two areas have their own bug trackers. Tmw logo.png
