The hub at night: a vermilion torii gate, paper lanterns strung overhead, blossom canopies and floating islands against a deep indigo sky.

Eukhora

A night garden you download, walk around in, and share what you made.

Eukhora is a small downloadable world for people who make music. You walk around it. Other producers are in there at the same time. You can play them what you made, sit down at a desk and work on something together, or take a track into a battle and find out what a room of strangers actually thinks of it.

It runs on Windows. It's free. It is genuinely unfinished — this page exists so you can be told when it's worth your evening.

Six islands and a hub

Looking through the torii gate toward the Amphitheater, lanterns overhead and blossom trees to either side.
The Agora Where you land. The Great Tree is overhead, the Amphitheater is through the gate, and most people are standing around here.
The Amphitheater A canopy stadium. Battles happen here and you can watch from the seats.
Night Market Stalls, trades, browsing. Vermilion and gold, busiest island.
Clockwork Bluffs The workshop side of the district. Brass and gearwork.
Sunken Reef Slow water, quiet listening. Where you go to not be perceived.
Ember Flats Hot and loud. After-dark sets.
Geode Springs The calm end. Crystal and steam.
Neon Hollow The club strip.

Two ways to battle

Bring something

Submit a finished track, thirty to forty-five seconds. Best of three. A track can only ever be entered once — the server keys on the audio itself, so you can't run the same winner twice.

Cook live

Head to head, on a timer, building from a shared sample set while people watch. Your DAW connects to the room, which is how anyone knows the thing in front of them is actually being made.

Judging is blind
Voters rate on a slider and don't see whose entry it is until after. Friend votes are silently discounted.
You get the breakdown
After a battle you see the spread of what people actually scored you — the feedback you can't get from a repost.
Two separate ladders
Prepared and live don't share a rank, because they aren't the same skill.
Stakes are optional and only ever against a person
You can put Sparks on a challenge. A bot can never be wagered against — the server refuses it.

The desk

Every studio has one. Sit down at it and your audio goes to the room, so the people standing there hear what you hear. That's the whole mechanic. You take turns, you layer over each other, or you just put something on and nobody says anything for a while.

Your own studio can be open to everyone, to people you follow, to friends, or to nobody.

Where this actually is

No release date, because I don't have one worth printing.

If any of that sounds like somewhere you'd spend an evening.

Short description

Eukhora is a free downloadable PC world for music producers — a night archipelago of floating gardens where you can play people what you made, work on something together at a shared desk, and take tracks into blind-judged battles.
