The last two multiplayer entries ended with the same question: how will this feel over a real internet connection? Until now, joining a friend meant typing the address of their computer, the kind of thing that only works when everyone's on the same home network or someone's been fiddling with their router.

Now it's a code.

## Host, share, join

Open **Session** and click **Host private session**. The game gives you a short session code. Send it to a friend. They open Session, type the code, and click **Join**. There are no addresses to type and no router settings to change. Both games reach out to a small relay server on the internet, which passes messages between them.



Once they're in, everything from [Two ways to play together](https://opensystems.app/projects/01M3B70Q318G1G8N0NSV63ME5X/journal/01M3PX9Z546RVDWQTFS50WEQ3X) applies: they can start their own crew next door, or join yours with a team code.

## Who runs the world

The world lives on the host's computer. It runs there and saves there, and guests send their orders to it. If the host quits, the session ends. If the connection to the relay drops, the host keeps playing on their own and the guests pause until it comes back. Friends who come back later are recognised and pick up their own crew again.

## Open questions

- This clip went through the real relay on the internet, but both games were on one computer. The next test is two homes, on two different connections.
