> How Orbium Games works, how to play its games, and how it is built, down to the engine and its shaders.

Orbium Games is a home for real-time 3D multiplayer games that run in the
browser. These pages explain it at three depths: what the platform is, how to
play what runs on it, and how every part of it is made.

## The platform

What Orbium is, how a Hold works, what it takes to play, and where it is going.

## Developers

How Orbium is built: the client and the server, the WebGPU engine that draws
every World, its shaders and its effects. These pages grow with the platform,
one system at a time.
