Developers

Build worlds, not just matches. EverArcade gives developers a path from a local idea to a portable world that operators can run and communities can verify.

The journey​

1. Create​

Start with a world concept: rules, places, resources, player actions, and the history you want the world to remember.

• Creator SDK
• Game developer start
• Reference world guide

2. Deploy​

Package the world so it can move from local development to hosted operation without becoming trapped in one interface.

• Canonical package format
• Game package format
• Evernode deployment

3. Verify​

Make world history checkable. Verification is how players, operators, and future maintainers can trust continuity without depending on memory or screenshots.

• Replay verification
• Runtime release integrity

4. Operate​

Work with operators who host worlds, preserve recovery material, and help continuity survive upgrades and incidents.

• Runtime operations manual
• Linux VM operator quickstart

5. Scale​

Use templates, reusable modules, and federation patterns as the world grows.

• World runtime
• Federation runtime
• Workload partitioning

Core building blocks​

• Creator SDK — the developer entry point for authoring and packaging worlds.
• World Contracts — the shared rule layer that defines how a world changes.
• RustRigs — reusable gameplay modules and patterns for common world actions.
• Documentation — implementation details stay in /docs; the website stays focused on orientation.
