Ridiculous. This is the first networking sample project I made while working at @coherence.bsky.social, and it took me almost two years to make a video about it (!)

Excited to share our load balancing demo publicly.

It shows a large world simulation distributed between several servers, with seamless handover as the deer transition from one server to another.

Network topologies are hard. Which one to use, and why? Many default to server-authoritative, but it's not always the best choice. So I made a video on the paradigm we have at @coherence.bsky.social, which I believe is one of the most flexible and scalable out there!

When making a #multiplayer game, this question usually comes up pretty quickly: “How much will it cost to keep it running?”
Luckily, coherence has options to make it completely free to use: Client-hosting.
