Myth Developers, the team of independent developers dedicated to updating and improving the Myth series of games, recently made a post on their site regarding plans for new world-building tools. It's their hope to have the project underway soon, with all the work being open-sourced for others to expand upon.

They also make to the call for developers interested in helping them out in this C/C++ project. From their post:

In the next week, MythDev will begin production on a next generation Myth tool to replace the existing Myth World tools. We're looking for coders who wish to be a part of this GPLed Open Source project to develop a comprehensive Myth Map Making tool. Here are the guidelines for the development:

1. All work will be open source.
2. All coding will be done in C/C++ ONLY.

If you are interested in taking part in the development of this tool, please drop an email to mythtool@mythdev.com. We are going to be ramping up heavily on this. The platforms supported by this tool will depend completely on the people involved in it's construction. Get involved, get on the team, and get excited.
