This project has been abandoned and is being rewritten here. This effort got pretty far, including:
- An admin area for managing the game, including a web based asset manager for uploading models and textures. These would auto populate the map editor
- A character creation process
- In in game chat system and command system, for example:
/speed 5would multiply your walking speed by 5,/mapwould bring up the map editor, and/structurewould bring up the 3d structure editor. For admins only of course.
I only did one live play test with 3 people online including myself with varying results. I deployed it with AWS Elastic Beanstalk which was probably a bad idea. But in any event it worked and it was fun, even if there was no inventory or combat. In my mind it was a success!
The bottom line is it is a horrible inefficient monster that needs a lot of refactoring. Instead of tacking onto this current project I am taking what I learned and rebuilding it from the bottom up. If you want to try to get this current version running locally and need help, send me a message on twitter.
