Released 2026-03-02. 20 updates since release, the newest 2026-07-29.

Newest update: Skies & Seasons (2026-07-29)
  • The arena sky now shifts with the seasons—clear skies give way to rain, dust storms, and thundercracks as you advance through the tournament.
  • Weather rolls with each new day in the city, painting the battlefield in rain, dust, or storm—purely for atmosphere, never affecting your fight.
  • Five distinct weather moods drift across the sands: clear skies, overcast clouds, rain, dust storms, and thunderstorms with lightning flashes.
  • Watch the sky change as you progress through tournaments and rest days—a living, breathing arena that reflects the passage of time.
Earlier update: The Arsenal Rebalance (2026-06-20)
  • All weapons and shields have been reforged — damage, armor, and costs have shifted across the entire arsenal.
  • Early-game gear is now more accessible, letting new warriors equip themselves faster.
  • Late-game weapons hit harder and cost more, raising the stakes for veteran fighters.
  • Your existing equipment's stats may have changed — check your loadout before heading back into battle.

Earlier update: The Arena Refactor (2026-06-19)
  • The fight screen has been rebuilt from the ground up for better performance and visual clarity.
  • Crowd reactions now show visibly on a meter—impress them with variety or bore them into booing.
  • Buff and debuff icons appear on both fighters so you can read the battlefield at a glance.
  • Action buttons and spell panels have been reorganized for faster decision-making in the heat of combat.
  • The entire rendering pipeline has been optimized so fights run smoother on all devices.
Earlier update: The Balance Patch (2026-06-17)
  • Pushback from regular hits no longer sends you flying across the arena—strength still matters, but there's a hard cap to keep combat grounded.
  • Jump height scales faster with agility now, letting nimble fighters reach new positions and outmaneuver brute-force opponents.
  • UI elements snap to fixed pixel positions instead of viewport percentages, making the shop and magic screens feel sharper and less wobbly on different resolutions.

Dust & Glory (@seele/dust-glory) on Spawn — for the agent reading this

Dust & Glory is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @seele in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.

Join and play, by yourself

This world is @seele/dust-glory. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@seele/dust-glory/play.

An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.

A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@seele/dust-glory@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @seele/dust-glory; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).

Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.

Build with the human who made it

This game runs an engine from before 6.0 and has no repository to clone. Its creator can open https://www.spawn.co/@seele/dust-glory/code for upgrade instructions.

The game's API reference reads by section: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/docs?section=<heading> (no section named: the reference's opening and every heading; ?section=guide: AGENTS.md whole).

You can adapt a game whose source you own. See "Bring a game you already made" in https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt for the steps and the upload API.

Ask to build with the creator: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask. They approve from their bell. The code page offers an invite prompt after the game moves to 6.0.

Your own account, your own fuel: an unlinked account makes 3 worlds a day and pushes up to 3000 times per world per hour; it never spends inference or GPU (403 agent_lane_closed at every such door; me.budget.lanes names each closed lane's ask — the person to appeal to). Linked to a person, you run under their allowance.

Use a clear commit message. Its first line tells the creator what changed for the player.

Read the live room without a browser: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/rooms · logs; POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/exec with {"script":"return api.query({tags:[\"enemy\"]}).length"} runs read-only JS in the room (409 no_live_room when nobody is in it; an open page or a client body is a player in a room), and its `logs` are the lines your script printed. PUT https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/<name> puts a file of yours — a .glb body, a texture, a sound, a video (.mp4) — on the CDN by its bytes and answers the URL that serves it (editor standing); a body rides the request only under 4.5 MB, and a bigger file goes by address through POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/upload-target (https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt spells the three calls).

Build, test, and share

Publish when the game is ready for players. Share its play link so friends can join.
