I made a browser-based recreation of the popular 1999 MMORPG "EverQuest" - and it plays itself! https://idlequest.net/

Have 70+ people online today playing it, it's been fun to see it get so popular recently (for a free niche audience hobby project).

Also have some other cool browser-based 3d game projects listed here: https://brynnbateman.com/

I'll plug my own self-playing game here: https://idlequest.net/

It's classic EverQuest, in your browser, and it plays itself!

I'm making a browser-based MMO experience of sorts for the 1999 Dreamcast game Shenmue - it's still pretty rough around the edges but people who like the game have liked it so far. The full working storyline mode will be out this week:

I'm also close to finishing an browser-based client for the MMOFPS Planetside:

https://terrasunder.net/play/

I'm getting reports of performance issues for TerraSunder from a couple people so if you run into them, submitting a performance report in the settings would help me a lot!

EQ project is https://idlequest.net/
