a constellation, not a page

One world.
Many orbits.

The game is the ember at the centre — around it, a constellation of surfaces: the forge, the bake-off, the playtest realm, minigame nodes, the hub. All of it real, all of it live.

sector 01 — core systems

What's already in orbit

Everything below is in the codebase today — optional layers toggle per match.

🗺️

Triangular Node Maps

Flat, cylindrical or toroidal worlds — stitched chunks, rivers with springs, tributaries, lakes, bridges.

Real-time Multiplayer

Server-authoritative rooms — lobby, matchmaking, local chat, 4 players + teams, AI opponents.

A Living Economy

30 buildings — carriers and donkeys on flag roads, boat-ways, caravans, colonies, expeditions, breach combat.

Souls, Heroes & Dungeons

Bind a soul — heroes with XP, skills, gear and direct control descend generated crypts.

🛠️

Creation tools, built in

The Content Forge rides with the client — sculpt buildings like a sketch, restyle the world, ship variants.

The Art Bake-off

The community literally picks the art — anyone votes on generated candidates; results steer the manifest. Now hosting design votes too.

Every seat plays by its own rules — and a whole arcade opened

Per-seat My-Mode presets, four new minigame satellites joined the constellation, signed obelisk events pay rewards back — and the core held eight rooms at ~19.2 tps each in the load-oil soak.
