How It All Works

1. You design your game in Studio's visual editors — map editor, item editor, quest editor, NPC editor, and more 2. The built-in game server handles everything — all game logic runs on the server, so cheating is prevented and everything stays in sync 3. Players connect via browser — they see a beautiful isometric world and interact using click-to-move, action bars, quest logs, and chat 4. Everything runs in real-time — 20 updates per second keep combat, movement, crafting, and world events smooth
