In February, we were delighted by the incredible reception to the release of our open-source multiplayer-first runtime, garnering over three thousand stars on GitHub to date. Now, we're excited to introduce the next chapter for us: the Ambient platform!

The Ambient platform makes it possible to build and deploy high-performance games and 3D applications to the web, powered by Rust, WASM, WebGPU and WebTransport. It's designed from the ground up to make multiplayer games easy - your games can run on the web without users having to download or install anything, and we take care of provisioning servers for you.

That's not all, though: our modular architecture lets us build modding into the core of the Ambient experience, unlocking a new possibility - your community can develop your game with you! Anyone can contribute improvements to your game by building and testing them as mods, and you can easily try them out and make them a permanent part of your game.
