# V7 Gap Analysis — SOTA Online-RP & Modding vs. Oshun V1–V6 Date: 2026-05-29 Purpose: map the state-of-the-art (2026) in online roleplay/multiplayer and in modding tools/communities against what Oshun's V1–V6 specs and the Maya engine domain already cover, and record which SOTA capabilities V7 must own. This is the research-and-disposition companion to `V7/V7_features.md` (the spec) and `V7/V7_TODOS.md` (the backlog). Each capability is dispositioned as one of: - **Covered** — already specified at adequate depth in V1–V6; V7 reuses it. - **Partial** — touched somewhere, but at the wrong layer, data-only, or unimplemented (engine spec with no code); V7 productizes/extends it. - **V7 net-new** — not present anywhere; V7 introduces it. Repo citations are `path:line` or `path § "anchor"`. Bare `§N` references in Parts A–D were re-keyed 2026-06-12 to the current `V7_TODOS.md` numbering (they previously used the pre-renumbering scheme; Part E already used the current one). External citations carry a URL and a credibility note. "Confirmed" = official Rockstar/Take-Two source; "Rumored" = leak/journalism without official confirmation. V7 subsystem names below are the feminine deities defined in `V7/V7_features.md` — Mawu (platform), Moremi (realm server), Danu (meshing), Nephthys (persistence), Pheme (voice), Nàná (roleplay), Hera (social graph), Ixchel (modding/creation), Abundantia (distribution + economy), Eunomia (governance), Sekhmet (trust & safety) — each checked against the existing `libs/`/`apps/`/`DOMAINS/` registries for collisions. --- ## Executive summary The engine-level **primitives** for online RP and modding are largely present across V1–V6 and the Maya domain — but almost entirely as **specs/plans**, and two whole product layers are missing: 1. **The server-authoritative, executable, community-run roleplay layer** (the FiveM/ESX model). V5's workshop is explicitly **data-only — it "cannot ship executable code"** (`V5/V5_features.md:2315`). There is no version that ships user-hosted authoritative realms with custom executable logic, persistent characters, jobs/economy/property, civic institutions, whitelisting, or proximity radio voice. 2. **The modding ecosystem as a shipped product** — distribution, collections, safety scanning, and a creator economy. The **Maya `forge-*` family** (`forge-resolver`, `forge-conflict`, `forge-sandbox`, `forge-compositor`, plus the planned Agora/Variants/Loom/Crucible capabilities) is fully designed but has **"No modding or governance code … on disk"** (`DOMAINS/maya/features.md:885`), is engine-level rather than wired to a product, and lacks the cross-platform distribution + creator-economy + executable-UGC safety layers. **Correction to an earlier audit:** V5 _does_ spec anti-cheat (EAC + server-side ML signals + 3-strike flow, `V5/V5_features.md:2438`), positional/in-game voice (`V5/V5_features.md:2373`), crossplay (`:2464`), a server browser with a mod-set filter (`:2407`), and a **paid-mod marketplace at a 70% creator share** with KYC/tax/payout gates (`:2306`). Those are Covered/Partial, not absent. V7's gap is the _executable + massively-multiplayer + community-run_ layer above them. The disposition is therefore **not** "scatter features into v1–v6," and **not** "everything is net-new." It is: \*_a dedicated V7 that productizes the unimplemented Maya `forge-_` family (under Ixchel) + extends V5's online backbone - extends V6's Ori identity into a shipped community-run RP & UGC platform (Mawu)\*\* — consolidating the roadmap's existing-but-unstarted phases (76 Forge-modding, 77 Multiplayer-SOTA, 79 Immersive-open-world, 99 Creator-economy per `OSHUN_VS_ROBLOX_GAP_ANALYSIS.md`) plus the genuine net-new gaps below. --- ## Part A — Online roleplay & multiplayer | # | SOTA capability | Exemplar + citation | Repo coverage | Disposition | | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | A1 | Server-authoritative, user-hosted, custom-scripted RP servers | FiveM/RedM (Cfx.re), Rockstar-acquired Aug 2023 — [GTANet](https://gtanet.com/team-behind-fivem-joins-rockstar-games/) (high) | none;

dual protagonists Jason Duval & Lucia Caminos; State of Leonida / Vice City; Take-Two expects record net bookings in the GTA VI launch window. Sources: [Techweez](https://techweez.com/2025/05/07/gta-6-trailer-2-rockstar-confirms-release-date-and-dual-protagonists/), [PCGamesN](https://www.pcgamesn.com/grand-theft-auto-vi/gta-6-release-date-setting-map-characters-gameplay-trailers), [Take-Two 8-K (SEC)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000946581/000162828025050182/ttwo2q26earningsrelease.htm). **Rockstar has published nothing** on GTA 6's online design, anti-cheat, crossplay, UGC, or economy — all online specifics are inference. **The strategically critical rumor — "Project ROME" (Rockstar Online Modding Engine):** a datamined (Mar 2025), **unconfirmed** first-party RP/modding platform tied to GTA VI, consistent with Rockstar's Aug 2023 acquisition of the FiveM/Cfx.re team to "expand UGC." Sources: [VideoCardz](https://videocardz.com/newz/rockstar-games-project-rome-rockstar-online-modding-engine-for-gta6-rumored-to-be-revealed-soon), [GamesRadar — FiveM devs expanding UGC at Rockstar](https://www.gamesradar.com/with-gta-6-on-the-way-the-fivem-devs-are-expanding-the-possibilities-of-user-generated-content-at-rockstar/) (low–med credibility). **Implication for V7:** the AAA leader is rumored to be betting its next flagship on exactly the server-authoritative-RP + first-party- modding layer V7 specifies. This validates the _direction_ — treat it as a directional signal, not a fact, and do not cite it as confirmed in product copy. **Other rumors (ambition benchmarks only, low–med credibility):** 700+ enterable interiors, RDR2-class+ NPC AI with daily routines/memory, smarter wanted system; extreme weather reportedly _cut_. Sources: [Dexerto](https://www.dexerto.com/gta/gta-6-leak-reveals-new-npc-interactions-akin-to-red-dead-redemption-2-3343997/), [ScreenRant](https://screenrant.com/gta-6-gameplay-leak-npcs/) — at least one "gameplay leak" was an [AI hoax](https://www.notebookcheck.net/GTA-6-Alleged-gameplay-leaks-turn-out-to-be-an-AI-hoax.1173045.0.html). These inform V7's NPC/world-depth ambition (which leans on Maya's AI-NPC plan and V4/V6 agent work), not its commitments. --- ## Part D — Disposition rollup - **Covered (reuse as-is):** A8 heists, A12 kernel anti-cheat, A11/A13 anti-cheat foundation & crossplay (extend), B8 moderation, B15 paid-mod marketplace, B21 subscribe/auto-sync (all V5). - **Partial → V7 productizes/extends:** the entire **Maya `forge-*` family** under Ixchel (B1–B3, B12, B16–B20, B22 — designed, no code), plus A3/A4/A7/A9/A14/A15, B4/B5/B11/B14 (wrong layer or data-only). - **V7 net-new:** A1 server-authoritative RP servers (Moremi), A2 RP framework (Nàná), A5 high-pop sync + A6 server meshing (Danu), A10 player social graph (Hera), B6 Collections, B7 executable-UGC malware scanning + incident response (Sekhmet), B9/B10 (obviated by composable layers), B13 engagement payouts (Abundantia). **Conclusion:** these are _not_ already adequately covered in V1–V6, and they do _not_ belong sprinkled across the authored-game versions. They form one coherent product — **V7: Mawu, the Open World & Creator Republic** — that productizes the unimplemented Maya `forge-*` family (under Ixchel), extends V5's online backbone and V6's Ori identity, and fills the genuine net-new gaps. See `V7/V7_features.md` for the spec and `V7/V7_TODOS.md` for the backlog. --- ## Part E — Deep-dive SOTA addendum (2026-05-30) A second research pass closed the hard design problems the first pass under-specified. These are now specified in `V7/V7_ARCHITECTURE.md` (technical) and `V7/V7_DEPENDENCIES.md` (build order + external deps); product-level coverage was added to `V7/V7_features.md` (Trust Boundary, Hosting & Who Pays, Child Safety & Age Assurance, Economy Firewall & Anti-Fraud, Streaming & Creator Loop). | # | SOTA problem | Chosen mechanism (exemplar + citation) | Where specced | | --- | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | E1 | Malicious-server-operator trust | Hybrid: platform-owns identity/economy/safety/client-integrity, realm-owns sandboxed logic only.

E1 (the trust boundary) and E4–E7 (child safety) are the two areas where a miss is existential/legal, not a feature gap — both are now platform-central, day-one, never-realm-delegated. **Caveats carried from the deep-dive:** native 3D-mesh CSAM hashing is an open problem (render-to-2D is the verifiable path); the gambling/lootbox firewall conclusion needs jurisdiction-specific legal counsel; managed-orchestration vendors are volatile (self-host Agones); exact platform fraud algorithms (Roblox/Epic) are undisclosed beyond eligibility/retention gating; Overwatch's 220 ms rewind cutoff and CIG's exact 2PC handoff steps are inferred, not published. --- ## Methodology & caveats - Web research conducted 2026-05-29 across two parallel SOTA sweeps (online-RP/ multiplayer + GTA 6; modding tools/communities), cross-corroborated against primary sources (Cfx.re docs, Star Citizen Wiki, Roblox/Epic dev docs, SEC filings) where load-bearing. - Repo coverage verified by reading `V5/V5_features.md` (§ "Online Services & Multiplayer Infrastructure", "Content & Creator Tools"), `V6/V6_features.md` (§ "The Ori", "Subsystem Glossary"), and `DOMAINS/maya/features.md` (§ "User- Generated Content and Creator Tools", "Modding and Governance Framework"). - **Naming:** V7 subsystem names (Mawu, Moremi, Danu, Nephthys, Pheme, Nàná, Hera, Ixchel, Abundantia, Eunomia, Sekhmet) were each checked against the existing `libs/`, `apps/`, and `DOMAINS/` registries; the earlier-draft names Ìlú/Ọjà/Mnemosyne/Oya collided with existing domains (`libs/mnemosyne`, `libs/oya`) or the monorepo's feminine-deity convention and were replaced. - **Vendor-reported / unverified flags:** mod.io scale stats and UEFN cumulative- payout figures are vendor/secondary-reported; the Fortnite 40% engagement split and Roblox DevEx rate are independently confirmed. GTA 6 online/economy/anti- cheat/crossplay and "Project ROME" are **rumor or absent**, never confirmed. - Phase numbers (76 Forge, 77 Multiplayer, 79 Open-world, 99 Creator-economy) reference `OSHUN_VS_ROBLOX_GAP_ANALYSIS.md`'s roadmap; V7 consolidates them.
