BYOND is both a gaming engine and a gaming community. It is a complete system to create, play, and publish games. You can use BYOND to create single-player games, but it really shines in the development of multi-player games. We designed the programming language behind BYOND games-- DM – to handle multi-player interaction in a way such that the developer need not maintain the complex networking infrastructure.
