+# Discord spatial layer
+
+We built a multiplayer game that sits on top of any Discord server.
+All users of a Discord server can hang out, move around, and chat
+in real-time in a 2D virtual space.
+
+## Introduction
+
+In lieu of an actual childhood,
+I fondly recall hanging out and chatting with my friends in Henesys Market 
+and fishing/cutting trees together in RuneScape's Draynor Village.
+
+There's something uniquely magical about that sort of experience,
+and I'm pretty sure it's not just the nostalgia talking.
+There's a raw and real human need for connection
+and this has been solved somewhat by chat/social apps 
+such as MSN Messenger, Telegram, and Discord.
+But I've always felt that they never came close to the 
+fun I had just sitting around in the FM with my friends:
+useful as they are, something is missing from these apps.
+
+What is that *je ne sais quoi*? I believe it's _spatiality_
+and _interactiveness_. 
+Hanging out in Maple or RS is especially compelling because 
+it has something more than just chat: 
+you can express yourself with your movement, fashion choices, your
+skills, your facial emotions, and so on.
+So we set out to build a spatial "layer" that sits on top
+of the social apps we know and love.
+We hope that people can use it to form and sustain 
+stronger and more lasting friendships over the Internet.
+
+## Why would anyone use this? What is the point of it all?
+
+There are lots of startups in this space like Gather Town,
+but (in my opinion) they won't get much traction because they aim
+to be a *tool*, not a *community*.
+We want to build something that piggybacks on--supplants--the communities
+already existing in groups like Discord and Telegram.
+As to why not just play a game instead:
+our spatial layer is really lightweight and doesn't require a download:
+good luck getting the 1,000 people on your server to download 20GB of game.
+
+## User flow
+
+1. User installs the Google Chrome Extension
+2. User navigates to the Discord web client
+3. User clicks the extension; our bot DMs a secret to the user
+4. User enters secret into our front end
+5. User has joined the spatial layer and can move around, chat and use emojis.
+
+## Technical details
+
+We used a couple of libraries:
+
+- Discord API for the Discord bot
+- Nengi for the multiplayer networking 
+- PixiJS for the rendering engine
