Online, shared world for old machines and modern clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An MMO based on an open API, where the world is built by the players and all clients connect to the same server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can create their own client, be it C64, Spectrum, terminal, or modern graphical interface. The client’s appearance may differ, but the gameplay rules do not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Persistent world<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The game world runs continuously on the server 24\/7, not on your local machine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

C64 client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A free Commodore 64 client is in development<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Open API<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the documented network protocol and API, anyone can connect with any device<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

V8id is a slow-paced, tick-based online game world that starts as a big\u2026 void. There is no prewritten story, no instances, and no resets. The state of the world is created by the players’ actions and persists over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The server runs a stable tick-based world engine. Time, growth, and interactions do not depend on the speed of the client. A slow 8-bit machine and a fast modern client exist in the world at the same rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client does not provide an advantage, only a display. The consequences of decisions are the same for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Current development status: prototype phase<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The basic world engine and the first C64 reference client are under development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The API & docs is still under dvelopment and will be gradually expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
