The plaza has its lights on
Beat Fusion is the engine, and the Beat Fusion client is what you play it with. Friday Night Funkin' is the first thing it cooks: the client turns your own copy into the engine's format on your machine, and plays it from there. Today the online side went up.
Accounts
You can make a Beat Fusion account now at accounts.beatfusion.dev. It's what the client will sign in with. Signing in from the game works the way a TV app does: the client shows a short code, you approve it in your browser, and the game never sees your password. Your account page lists everywhere you're signed in, and signs any of them out.
The plaza's server
The plaza is where online play happens: a place to hang out, not a matchmaking queue. Walk between the plaza, the rooftop and the street, sing to emote, chat, and challenge anyone near you. The DJ tosses a coin, the winner picks a side, and the song starts. Each player plays the song from their own copy; only the match's moves cross the network.
The server is running, and we tested it with a thousand simulated players hanging out, chatting and playing matches for two minutes: every one got in, none dropped, and the server barely noticed.
Next
The client's online mode: signing in from the game, and walking into the plaza. Then the first public build.
