Playing a game like this involves a heavier server load compared to normal use, right? Would that incur a significant cost to said alternative? (I don’t actually know how the magic box works.)
since its open i’m assuming you can download the data and host it yourself, freeing the regular public server not made for these requests. and that it would probably be cheaper than paying google for api calls.
don’t quote me on any of that though, quite a bunch of assumptions off the top of my weary head. i’m not versed on the specifics of this magic box either and was hoping for someone who does to chime in.
i wonder if they could use one of the open alternatives

I don’t think there’s a way to get the street view images that are needed. Those are owned by google.
shit yeah you are correct. i was thinking about just mapping.
in my defense i’m sleep deprived and stressed out.
