+Development Phases:
+
+Phase 1
+
+Developer training, prototype story development, and prototype story testing to train developers, using NWN Aurora Toolset.
+
+Phase 2
+
+Part 1: Create Project Ilmatar toolset, minimum viable product (MVP).
+
+Part 2: Create text-only, multi-user, online, turn-based adventure using this Project Ilmatar Toolset MVP, based on the Phase 1 storyline and geography.
+
+Part 3: Verify accessibility input controls working correctly, support screenreaders and other accessibility tools, especially with Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) controls.
+
+Part 4: Iterate through extending the toolset to be more complete for 1.0 needs, then expand the adventure features with the toolset, and continue to verify I/O with BCI.
+
+Phase 3:
+
+Part 1: Add audio and graphics functions to the Project Ilmatar Toolset.
+
+Part 2: Add audio and graphics to the existing prototype story (in the style of Dirk the Daring based on choices). Verify still works as online, multiplayer, turn-based.
+
+Part 3: Verify still works with accessibility equipment, especially BCI.
+
+Phase 4:
+
+Add real-time GM function to the toolset, allowing the "GM", educator, or therapist, to intervene in the game real time within the game, with all the powers that a GM should have in a TRPG.
+
+Phase 5:
+
+Part 1: Add physical world capabilities to the toolset so that a GM/Educator/Facilitator/Therapist can use the real-time tools as an interface with robotic equipment to roll dice, move miniatures, etc.
+
+Part 2: Enable these robotic controls to work over Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), so players can roll physical dice, move miniatures, update character sheet, etc. using BCI.
