working at Niantic is the first time I've worked on videogames with authoritative multiplayer server stuff. here's my opinion on it: it sucks. it's a huge pain in the arse. and Roblox makes it... not straightforward, but very much possible.Permalink Look on archive.org

of course, the flipside of that is that that accessibility (and Roblox's entire business model) depends on stuff only ever running on the Roblox servers. same tradeoff as Cheap Bots, Done Quick. it's easy, it's free - but you hand over control to a platform.Permalink Look on archive.org
