 # Gammarena Notes
+## Goal
+The goal of Gammarena is to be a multiplayer first-person shooter deathmatch game similar to [OpenArena](http://www.openarena.ws/), with support for **custom character models, maps, and weapons**. Moddability and scriptability are concerns, bot AI is an eventual concern, but a single player campaign is currently **not**.
+
+Key to this is the ability to either natively load, or effortlessly import, various types of maps models used by other games.
+
+Gammarena runs as a client+server or as server only, and other clients can connect to it and run games on it.
