Fixed Data Node
Venue nodes for training, minigames, and co-op play
A Fixed Data Node is an unmanned box installed at the venue. Players with a PDN plug in to run training, solo drills, co-op minigames, and lore beats without staff adjudicating every interaction.
FDN MK I is the first generation we deployed in the field. At Neotropolis 2026, nodes were part of a symbol-matching passphrase hunt: two PDNs with matching symbols had to connect to the same FDN to earn a word toward a hidden phrase. At Open Sauce 2026, the same hardware class ran standalone demo games (dungeon crawler, side-scroller, memory game, single-player Quickdraw) to see what the platform could do outside the LARP.
FDNs extend PDN play into fixed spots in the city. Custom PCBs and more modes are on the roadmap; engineering notes are on the Open Sauce dispatch and Neo 2026 dispatch.
