So that's what the wasm is for. Even the client code is streamed to the client when you connect to a server. Interesting take. I hope it's not, as someone else said, an "open core" SaaS where all the useful features will be behind a paywall and PRs for them rejected. I guess the advantage over pure web games is that you don't need a website to host it? > the runtime handles synchronization of data for you. btw this sounds a lil bogus...

> the runtime handles synchronization of data for you. The first implementation probably just synchronizes every single change in state of the worlds database. I wonder if you can flag things that only the server should know, and somehow calculate what each client can see and know about.

  Ambient CPTO here; Yeah that's pretty much how it works; changes on the server state and replicated to clients, which keeps "mirrors" of that state and can augment it in different ways. And yes you can specify exactly which entities and/or components get replicated to the clients. We're working on adding more details on the networking stack: https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient/issues/150 https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient/issues/150
