Nine Chronicles is a fully open-sourced online RPG without servers — like Bitcoin or BitTorrent, the gamers and miners connect to each other to power a distributed game network. Set in a vast fantasy world, it is governed by its players, and supported by a complex economy where supply and demand are the greatest currency.
Decentralized infrastructure has created new possibilities for online gaming, where communities can become the actual owners of an online world. By fully open-sourcing the repositories for Nine Chronicles, players and developers alike can use any part of the game, from the beautiful bespoke 2D assets to in-game logic and code.
