birb.houseBuilding the Future of Games on ATProto | Birbhouse GamesGame platforms hold too much power over developers. We want to change that by decentralizing games with ATProto — devs own their data, players own their progress, and no payment processor can take it ...

I've gotten this question from a lot of #GameDev: "How can I, a game developer, make use of ATProto in my games?" So I wrote an article to address my work in a way that makes more sense for game developers, especially those that don't know (or care) about ATProto.

Hi hi, quick question: Who would host and/or manage the linkages between the ATProto data and the existing game platforms? Would that be a paid service?

It depends what link you're referring to. Data hosting is up to the game owner - it lives in their PDS, which can be self-hosted or use providers like Bluesky. No separate hosting fee from us for the lexicons/infrastructure.

For platform connections (Steam, Epic Games Store, etc.): ideally platforms implement ATProto support themselves. We might build a sync service as a bridge initially, but the primary goal is getting platforms to adopt it directly.
