I don't think that's possible for me. I have some future monetization plans but that requires features I don't have yet. At the current state I have a hard time seeing anyone would pay for it. Also, due to how the back end is

Looks cool but seems like it's aimed at mobile and not websites? Also, how do they differ from Firebase? My previous experience with Firebase makes me hesitant to use a BaaS. It works great for simple stuff but as soon as you want more

I actually used Firebase for the first version but ran into a lot of different issues, mostly due to the lack of control. That's why I migrated to my own Node server where I could have my own back end logic to control things. This was

I'm in the unfortunate position where this question actually matters from day 1. I learnt the hard way a few days ago when I hit the bottleneck (about 50-100 concurrent users) and I'm not sure how to proceed. It's a multiplay

The Button and Robin were awesome but this was on another level. I loved hanging out in the different factions' Discord servers and observe troops being rallied and defenses coordinated. It was an amazing 72 hours and I wonder how Redd

Yes, you are right. The thing is though that I'm making the game mostly for myself and I always tell my players that they are playing at their own risk. It's very early alpha and they may lose everything. I tried fixing it initial

It's actually almost unplayable right now since a bug I haven't managed to pinpoint is messing up all the mines (ugly codebase doesn't help). They're completely strip-mined and the economy is broken with a few players si

I've been running a browser-based MMORPG for a couple of years and when I started out I was a total novice in Node.js. I didn't even know how modules worked so the back end was just one big file. Needless to say, the code is a com

Leaflet is really nice. I used it to render a big map of my drawing game ScribbleGrid: http://scribblegrid.com/maps/origin/ I used Node.js Canvas to render a file of each room, ImageMagick morgify/montage to

I'm currently going through this process and there's some bureaucracy involved: 1. You need to show that you have financial resources of 100 000 SEK for one car and 50 000 SEK for all subsequent ones you're registering for. T

This version of ScribbleGrid is only a couple of weeks old but I've created a pretty cool map of the first grid: http://scribblegrid.com/maps/origin/ As expected the place is filled with swastikas and penises

One of my best friends died of an overdose a few years ago. His mother was informed in a horrible way. The police called her and told her that her son had overdosed and was on the way to the hospital. In the middle of the call they all of a
