Eggox

Eggox, as it looks today

Build anything. Play together.

Eggox is a game where everything is built by the players. You start in a space of your own and build in it, make anything you like in the Studio out of little cubes, from a chair to a hat to a whole new you, and then claim a plot out in one long shared world and go meet the people who built the rest. It runs in the browser, on a phone too, with nothing to download. It's in beta, for players 18 and over, and it's the thing I've always wanted to build.

Competitions are announced there, Pip and Tavi hang out there, and it is the place to show what you built and tell us what Eggox should do next.

The Eggox front page: the EGGOX logo built from cubes with an egg for the O, BETA 18+, and "Build anything. Play together." over a town full of players
A plot someone built in Eggox: a log cabin, a garden with benches and a picnic blanket, lamps and a fence
The Go somewhere window listing places players made, with how many people are in each right now
The spawn quay where everyone arrives: townhouses, cafe tables, a crossing and jetties by the water

Where it is now

Since September Eggox has moved to its own home at eggox.net and grown a face: a logo built from the same little cubes as everything in the game, and two hosts, Pip and Tavi, who greet you on the front page and in the Discord. The Studio was rebuilt from the ground up, building competitions now run on their own with one-of-a-kind trophies for the winners, and the town has its first house you can walk inside. Experiences, places with their own rules written in Lua, are built and tested, but players can't make their own yet. That part comes later.

Why Elixir

Most game servers fall over when too many players crowd into one place. Elixir and the BEAM were built for millions of tiny independent processes passing messages, which is almost exactly the shape of a virtual world: every player, every object, every space as its own lightweight process. So instead of a hard player cap, the world slows down a touch under load rather than kicking anyone out, and a game inside it that gets too heavy slows down alone instead of taking the world with it.

What you do there

Build a place
You start in a home space of your own, private until you open its gate. Out in the world, a land claim flag makes the 11 by 11 square around it yours to build on.
Make anything
In the Studio you stack little cubes, paint them and draw frames to make them move. Drawing is free, and everything you make carries your name.
Play together
Say hi at the spawn quay, make friends, visit the places people built and enter the building competitions. Everyone you can talk to has checked their age once.
