title: PLANETBALL Prototype Update - April 2026 date: 2026-04-15 featured: true
This month we built PLANETBALL, a fast real-time online PvP prototype focused on validating key multiplayer technology. The project proved out server-authoritative gameplay simulation, dedicated server infrastructure, and smooth browser support for real-time physics. Even on suboptimal connections, gameplay showed almost no noticeable lag while players competed for mass in the arena.
What's Next
- Continue improving server performance under heavy concurrent load
- Expand gameplay depth while preserving short, competitive rounds
- Refine cross-platform support for browser and Windows builds
