Soulbound Studios and tech start-up Improbable have announced a partnership agreement that will bring SpacialOS into play for Chronicles of Elyria that utilizes a "distributed operating system". Thousands of servers in the 'cloud' enable simulations to run concurrently to enable a hundred thousand players spread across the game world, one of the largest in gaming today, all inhabiting one world.
Instead of using the time and resources normally allocated for creating core server features, Soulbound Studios, relying on SpatialOS, can instead focus on bringing players the innovative gameplay mechanics that won Chronicles of Elyria the “Best Indie MMO” Award from MMO Games when it debuted at PAX East. Using SpatialOS to underpin the game’s engine will allow many more players to interact in a persistent, developing world where choices can have lasting consequences.
