I mean the crux of most online games is an authoritative server with dumb clients, maybe some prediction and smoothing. The game running on the client is not 'the game' in many ways. I wrote my card game server in Deno at first because I LIIIKE typescript and it was easy to manage connections or test from cli, then wrote the client in Godot to make it pretty. Reading about serious netplay reconciliation is a bitch though. And you'd probably want to use really small serialized packets over UDP, not just JSON for latency. I was toying with different strategies based on this writeup and couldn't really reason about syncing an actual physics system between server and client. This is a v good easy read though on the topic https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architecture.html

I originally envisaged crime committer to have a network presence, but only in the sense that as an idle game, you didn’t need to leave it idling, you could log out and log in somewhere else and it’s like you left it going you were still encouraged to log in tho because when you initiate a crime, let’s say robbing a bank, it takes 27 hours, and so after 27 hours the crime is complete and you can collect the reward and start the crime again I thought it was brilliant of me: when you start a crime and it takes 27 hours, what it does is encode the time 27 hours from the click (in a cookie), and the “countdown”, is just time until it’s over. this actually worked kinda well because you could close the browser and open it back up and it was like you had left it running but it was just local on cookies, imagine how sick if it was legit online. some way to compete with friends too wouldn’t it be sick if I had the motivation to finish it lol I think I need a partner in crime, because I like building the “engine”, I like adding features (scope creep lyfe) but when it’s time to make the content my motivation drops off a cliff and I now know this is typical adhd hyperfocus for a bit then all motivation dies, but knowing that doesn’t mean I can get around it. probably also someone who knows js could totally copy my game in a day and much less of a mess (god the code is a mess) but .. only I own crimecommitter.com which ngl is a fuckin sick url

Honestly this is where being a SaaS dev starts to feel icky. You spend all day thinking about crazy over architected solutions but hell writing a couple thousand players latest state to db can be done in a $5/mo cloud instance no problem. Maybe we could jam some time. Just have to get fams and date lines sorted or do some async poo poo

that sounds sick tbh I dunno what I bring to the table, other than the idea lol I’ve lost the url to the original crime committer. well github is being a fuckwit crimecommitter.com loads up v2 but v2 while tidier is no where near as fleshed out once I paid a local conedian $100 to write some material lol but it wasn’t very good I had developed a slight adventure aspect where you had an inventory and some crimes like skateboarding required a skateboard for example

roguelike mgs style stealth game, where the scenario is a blatant rip off of die hard. sneak around, find things you need to accomplish goals in order to stop the terrorists, all while the clock is running down with various events happening around you in real time. instead of going down the kojima intricate batshit insane plot route, a ton of things could be randomised for replayability. not just building layout and starting area, but also the various subplots, objectives and final setpiece would be pulled from a pool of possibilities.

Isometric RPG like the first two fallout games, only it's cyberpunk and has fixed save points so you have to work around the consequences of your decisions and what the RNG hands you.
