Passing the baton on Floorcraft

Have you tried Floorcraft, our epic AR multiplayer battler? You can download it on iOS and battle it out with a friend.

Floorcraft is a beloved Auki/Matterless classic. One of the first apps we created to showcase shared augmented reality. Two years ago, we used it to introduce ConjureKit — the first version of the Auki SDK. ConjureKit was all about instant calibration into shared AR sessions.

Since those early days, we’ve updated it with sleeker hovercraft, cooler obstacles, and more engaging gameplay where floorcraft can shoot each other with blasters. Of course, we also added support for playing inside posemesh domains, expanding beyond just ad hoc AR sessions.

We’ve paused development on our early games including Floorcraft to put our full focus on building the protocol itself as well as Cactus, the spatial AI platform for retail. But we think it would be a shame to just let Floorcraft languish after pouring so much love and work into it. In fact, we often find ourselves getting nostalgic about it.

Today, we’re excited to pass the baton on to the next passionate developer to continue building Floorcraft into the game it deserves to be. Interested in taking up the mantle? You’ll find it open sourced on GitHub: https://github.com/matterless/floorcraft-blasters/tree/develop.

By open sourcing Floorcraft, we hope to inspire new creators and build a vibrant community around crafting shared augmented reality experiences. Reskin it, add new features, or transform it entirely. The possibilities are endless in the castles of your imagination.

Grants are available to support your work! And of course our Developer Relations team is always ready to support you.

Happy coding and gaming!

About Auki Labs

Auki is building the posemesh, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The posemesh is an external and collaborative sense of space that machines and AI can use to understand the physical world.

Our mission is to improve civilization’s intercognitive capacity; our ability to think, experience and solve problems together with each other and AI. The greatest way to extend human reach is to collaborate with others. We are building consciousness-expanding technology to reduce the friction of communication and bridge minds.

About the posemesh

The Posemesh is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network.

The Posemesh is designed for a future where spatial computing is both collaborative and privacy-preserving. It limits any organization's surveillance capabilities and encourages sovereign ownership of private maps of personal and public spaces.

The decentralization also offers a competitive advantage, especially in shared spatial computing sessions, AR for example, where low latency is crucial. The posemesh is the next step in the decentralization movement, responding as an antidote to the growing power of big tech.

The Posemesh has tasked Auki Labs with developing the software infrastructure of the posemesh.
