Node Control

A competitive multiplayer game where you fight for influence inside a neural network

Why I made it

Pieter's premise — that AI is closing in on being able to ship a commercially viable game. I say we're already there and I wanted to prove that. Node Control is a competitive multiplayer .io game with proper netcode, multi-region deployment, mobile support, telemetry, ad-friendly architecture, and POLISH; the kind of stack a small studio would ship. Beyond that, I wanted the game itself to be dead-simple to pick up but have a skill ceiling that keeps unfolding: boost timing, trail length, contested infections, when to extend versus close.
