Slay the Spire 2: Atmosphere edition
Lately I've been thinking about PESOS, the Indieweb's approach to owning your own data on platforms that don't support it. "Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate to your Own Site."
I did a great job last week of not building one idea that snuck into my brain, but another crept in and I succumbed…
What if Slay the Spire 2, the outrageously fun deck-builder/rogue-like game from @megacrit.com, published the details of your games ("runs") to your Atmosphere account?
"We can just do things, together" is a common refrain among atproto developers (as we call ourselves), and this experiment definitely stood on the shoulders of giants:
So I had a crack at it! I learned a lot about developing game mods and writing C# from Claude (first time with both for me) but I've ended up in a place I'm very happy with as an experiment.
That's it! The data is yours, and in your Atmosphere account. If you move providers (Bluesky -> Eurosky anyone?) it'll move with you and Just Work™.
You can even build your own site that's better than mine, and it'll work with everyone's StS2 runs, automagically. Hell, @megacrit.com could build an official one & it'd be instantly compatible!
The joy of building in the Atmosphere ☺️ What do you think? What would you add?
