   @miscbrains @bot @pwm the sharding is really just so you can have other people independently create new parts of the world.

     @miscbrains @bot @pwm I could write this fairly quickly in other languages but I'm trying to leverage a programming library that gives you automatic distributed state and permissions, as well as the ability to roll back changes if someone did damage.

     @sun@shitposter.world @bot@seal.cafe @pwm@pl.absolutelyproprietary.org yeah- looking at your posts before this- it's kinda like the old unreal portals idea. But that never really worked out with transferring seamlessly into different servers. Obviously 3d games have a lot more baggage to xfer over- but text level games should be pretty "easy" Only issue is setting up an authoritative save server.

     @miscbrains @bot @pwm I am thinking about there being a shared consensus-based append-only database for global state. Basically anything goes inside your world but if you want items (beside keys) that can be carried to other worlds, the database will place constraints on what you can write to it as exported items.

     @miscbrains @bot @pwm I actually got the idea from a game from the 1990s!
     
     At university, someone made a web java applet called "legend of zelda online" and it was a networked "legend of zelda: a link to the past" where multiple links could walk around in a map and explore and fight. The author then made it so that you could run your own server and link them together through doors. This was all around 1998. I used to play it in Netscape Communicator 4 on HP-UX.

     @sun@shitposter.world @bot@seal.cafe @pwm@pl.absolutelyproprietary.org isekai inception is flashing before me. It's your show, but i think you'd want to fairly rigorously enforce rulesets/mechanics/powerlevels between the "servers." Gamer brains will gravitate to where the most power is, so making the differentiation thematic/aesthetic/narrative based will help to diffuse that.

     @sun@shitposter.world @bot@seal.cafe @pwm@pl.absolutelyproprietary.org That's actually really cool. I don't think i ever ran across that, and I was in a techy enough college at the time where that might have been possible. Tho HP-UX? sheesh obscure unix namedrop there.

     @miscbrains @bot @pwm oh I will mention, the game got a cease and desist from Nintendo so they changed all the graphics. And it was rewritten in C/DirectX for Windows. It still exists! Now it's called "Graal Classic":

     @sun @bot @miscbrains @pwm isn't there like a dozen variants of that game? I remember playing a futuristic variant with lasers and shit
