The Orbium was Tinydark's first home. Launching in 2016, the dream was to make something of a social network for any Tinydark games, and games of our partners, who'd build them with our proprietary game engine, GAM3. It was inspired by Twinoid, which was possibly the world's first social network for gamers, featuring likes, comments, and a wall. We never intended to go that far, but Orbium cloned a few of its features.
Now, Orbium has been replaced by Hub, available at https://hub.tinydark.com. The previous URL was https://www.theorbium.com/ and will smoothly redirect all links to the Hub.
Your Orbium account is now your Tinydark account. We loved Orbium, but it was confusing for people to sign up to what they thought was a third-party service for Tinydark games. This rebranding brought with it hundreds of hours of development in order to make the Hub more attractive and easier to use.
