Items from <strong>Risk of Rain 2</strong> might spawn in your friend's <strong>Lethal Company</strong>. The community has been doing this for years. Setting it up was the painful part: install Python, configure a YAML, host a server, get everyone connected.</p> <p>We built <strong>Zephyr</strong> to skip all that. Generate the seed, host the server, connect players. <strong>Same window, no terminal.</strong></p> <p>That's the bet for the rest of the app too.
