I Tried Making a 3D MMORPG Game in JavaScript

I tried to build a 3D MMORPG (ie. World of Warcraft clone) in this project.

Support me on:

Follow me on:

What I'll cover:
* Getting a basic websocket connection going
* Sharing code between server and client
* Adding chat
* Supporting multiple players
* Supporting thousands of npc's

Like always, full source is available, just check the github repo. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it.

Dude what you are doing is another level of JavaScript which makes all the other channels dwarves.

Oh how I know this feel.

Ive seen a couple videos of yours now, and I’m honestly blown away by what you can accomplish in Javascript. Really cool videos, thank you for sharing them!

[egretfx]

You are one hell of a JavaScript developer” dont let anyone tell you otherwise!!! Insane!!🔥

[casualrich-lifeiseasy]

Not a fan of praising, but man. You need to upload more, your approach to the code is so cool. You make it seem that even not knowing something is not a problem. As a junior, i can totally say that you are my biggest inspiration ❤

I've been programming for 10 And I'd give anything to have your level of talent. Excellent work

wow. i like how each video is a part of something grand. i first thought the first few videos were just random let's code in js but then again, it all leads to building an MMORPG. good stuff.

I love your videos. They're another level above what's on YouTube. You really go deeper that any other YouTube dev I follow and it's really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making these videos!

Basically my programming journey...

This deserves way more attention for how high quality it is. Super interesting, thanks for the video!

When you gonna release your game you've been hiding that's gonna be the wow killer

An amazing MMO with a glorious chatbox, Simon! :)
As always, thanks for sharing the great work!
Especially for leaving the "it didn't go well at first" moments: I can very much relate to those.

1 dude makes this in one week and actually looks decent for what it is,

Wow, amazing. Being a software developer and seeing what you do is just astonishing.

I love them monotone, but funny as hell comments in-between. Like, when describing "there are these two monsters that look like this and that... i took both"
:'D

really enjoyed this video :)

Imagine chronicles of eleria needed 8 million to make a game like this.

More quality content, excellent work Simon! I can't say enough how great it is to see work like this presented so clearly and referenced so well.
This is easily on par or surpassing the likes of Sebastian Lague's work, and it is definitely much more approachable.

Keep it up!

Again awesome content Simon! Thanks for all your efforts.
