Firefly was talking about his thread on Hacker News during the live stream Sunday. If anyone is interested, here is the link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21858226 --- Firefly wrote, "My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++ with bits of C, Objective-C, Java and PHP. It runs really well on very low-end and obsolete hardware, all the way up to modern systems with fast GPUs. Angeldust works perfectly on Windows XP+, even without hardware OpenGL; Mac OS X 10.6+, even on the first 2006 32-bit Intel GMA945 MacBook1,1; Linux 64-bit glibc 2.17+; Android v2.2.3+, supporting Bluetooth game controllers; and iOS 6+, though iTunes App Store forces iOS 8+ (any way around this?). I live stream weekly on YouTube and Twitch, even right now! Come ask me your development questions! I often see developers playing together with their kids. YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/AngeldustLive One more thing: the Angeldust website ( https://angeldu.st ) uses plain HTML and CSS to offer interactive, game-related actions. It's fully functional even without JavaScript enabled."

It is an interesting thread (on Hacker News) and people are adding to it daily so bookmark it and then check for updates in the future. I wonder if anyone else here can think of other venues that FireFly can use to help promote the game and bring in new players?

I wasn't sure if linked Hacker News here was a good idea, but thanks you ColtsWalker :) It was great having many developers and like-minded people come in from HN. I'm still adding answers left and right.
