OPTIONAL SELF-HOST PREVIEW

Your world.
Your own server.

Run a trusted Guassia export on your own computer or server. Invite up to ten people to a private voice room.

Self-hosting is optional. Guassia charges no platform rental fee for this preview. Your hardware, network and any relay costs remain yours.

What is shared?

Room presence and opt-in voice are shared. Gameplay, NPCs, objectives and player movement run independently for each visitor.

This preview does not synchronize avatars or provide authoritative multiplayer gameplay.

Your microphone, your choice

Reading this page never connects to a server or requests your microphone. Voice starts only after you choose to join and allow access.

Keep your invitation private

Use the private invitation printed in the server terminal. Only invite people you trust.

Start locally

  1. Install Node.js 24 or newer. Open a terminal in the self-host package folder.
  2. Export your world as a website ZIP for private testing. Unzip the complete package into a folder and keep all of its files together.
  3. The release ZIP includes its server dependencies. Run the command below with your export folder.
node server.mjs --world "C:/Guassia/World"

Get the self-host starter

Open local voice panel

This address works only on the computer running the server. Start the server first. It is not an internet invitation link.

Open the private invitation from the terminal to fill in the room details. The panel also offers a link to play the selected world.

Choose when to speak

  1. In the local panel or the world’s Voice controls, choose “Join voice and request microphone” and allow access when you are ready.
  2. Push-to-talk is on by default. Hold V or the talk button to speak.
  3. Use Mute microphone, Deafen and mute, or Leave voice whenever you need.

Guassia does not record voice. Other participants could record it with other software. Peer-to-peer connections can reveal your network address to peers and the host.

In the world, press Escape to release the mouse and open Voice. Hold V while the world has focus to talk. Hiding the controls does not leave voice; use Leave voice to disconnect.

Beyond your own computer

For internet access, the operator must configure an HTTPS reverse proxy with WebSocket forwarding and exact allowed origins. This preview does not open firewall ports automatically.

Some networks need a TURN relay for voice. No public STUN or TURN service is connected by default; the operator supplies any relay configuration.

Read the package README before changing the default local-only binding. Public distribution also requires separate Guassia permission and the appropriate asset licenses.
