Ambient

Ambient is an open-source cross-platform runtime and platform for building, deploying and sharing high-performance multiplayer games on the web, desktop, and elsewhere. Powered by Rust, WebAssembly (WASM), and WebGPU, Ambient is cutting-edge while staying true to its goal: making game development both fun and accessible.

The Ambient runtime itself is an extensible multiplayer game engine with an in-game real-time database, automatic synchronization, Rust-inspired interoperable packages, configurable asset pipelines, WASM-powered isolation, PBR rendering, and more.
