World Creation & Developer Fees

All BrickVerse games run on shared servers by default. These servers are completely free to use and are automatically used when a player joins your game — no setup required.

This system works similarly to other large game platforms: when someone presses Play, BrickVerse finds an available shared server and starts your game session there.

Key Things to Know

  • Shared servers are always free

  • Any developer’s game can run on them

  • Servers are automatically assigned when players join

  • Availability may be limited during peak usage

  • Performance may vary compared to dedicated servers

Because these servers are shared across the entire platform, you might occasionally experience:

  • Slower startup times

  • Slightly lower performance during high demand

But for most games — especially during development or with smaller player counts — shared servers work great.


Dedicated BrickCloud Servers (Optional Upgrade)

Dedicated servers are not required to run your game. Instead, they are an optional upgrade for developers who want guaranteed resources and higher performance.

When you purchase BrickCloud servers:

  • Those servers are reserved only for your universe

  • Your game sessions will prioritize your dedicated servers first

  • You get more consistent performance and availability

This is ideal for:

  • High player counts

  • Competitive or fast-paced games

  • Games with heavy scripts or complex systems

  • Developers who want maximum reliability

If no dedicated servers are available, your game can still fall back to shared servers (if enabled).
