Duelyst
Duelyst is a turn-based strategy game engine and multiplayer framework designed for collectible card games. It provides a dedicated architecture for managing tactical combat and card-driven interactions across both web and desktop environments.
The platform distinguishes itself through a self-hosted infrastructure that utilizes containerized environments to deploy private game sessions. This approach grants players full access to game content and ensures consistent deployment across local and remote systems. The engine also features a data-driven localization system that separates game text into structured files, facilitating the addition of multiple languages without requiring modifications to the core application logic.
The framework supports a broad range of deployment capabilities, including mobile web rendering that allows for installation as a home screen application. It maintains game consistency through an event-driven loop and server-side state synchronization, ensuring that player actions are processed reliably across all connected clients.
