Prime World (MMO RPG) source code has been published on GitHub: https://github.com/Nival-Pub/Prime-World β€” it's allowed to learn from it or use components for non commercial purposes.

πŸ’‘ Since it has been created by Nival in Russia, the description is also in Russian (so it may be a little tricky to learn by international audience).

Corporate moment in the amazing Weird article where a group of kids saved their favorite game and ages later it's still keeping over 10K DAU.

The Toontown Rewritten team knows they operate in murky waters. Without a licensing agreement from Disney, 11 years of hard work could be shut down at any minute by a Disney lawyer. That’s why they’ve taken extensive steps to try to circumvent any concerns the Mouse House would have, including founding a nonprofit organization to oversee the game; making the game free to play; forgoing advertising revenue; removing NPCs of Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald Duck; and implementing a robust content moderation system to protect young players.


Sounds like they treat the game and their community better than Roblox or other big games for kids.

The new RuneScape has just been released on Steam! But to run it you need... Epic Games Online Services (and Epic account). That's basically the main points of negative reviews.

⭐ But they are overall (74%) positive!

One player decided to sleep on a bridge for a couple of days in The Elder Scrolls Online to find out if anyone will notice. And renamed himself into Sleeps-on-Bridges.

And oh, boi: people noticed!

He spent there OVER FIVE YEARS...
Developers made an NPC reference
And his mentions appeared in quests
Fans created a cult and a guild of him

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is slowly falling and will soon be below 1000 CCU.

The MMO received mixed ratings, since it's fairly good, but still a Free 2 Play game with some predatory mechanics. But for THAT kind of game it's above average.

But it's also not a pure MMO, since most of the game is designed for solo players and meeting others is possible in a specifically designed hub-spots.

If you're a GoT fan, try it out before it's too late…

The MMO that has been in development for 9 YEARS, then hit early access on Steam, reached 30K CCU, and promised to fix all the issues, is probably gonna be taken down.

The game director left the company due to the conflict with investors (who started to send orders to other team members without notifying him or other managers).

And when he left, the studio members are seemingly being kicked out without the final paycheck (According to insider-gaming, DIscord, and Reddit)

The guy ported Steam Audio to Lineage II. Sadly, not all sounds are positioned anyway but ones that are placed in 3D will have direction and proper reflectivity now.

DreamWorld sandbox MMO, which was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, is now being closed... after 3.5 months of early access!

The game was apparently a slightly twisted scam: Kickstarter + tons of free assets + cheap workers with zero experience + early access in a barely playable state and no servers protection. Not a pure scam, they didn't simply ran away with the money but a complete mismanagement.

It peaked at 56 CCU on Steam and the number of reviews was also about that number. Then online plummeted to just a couple of people.

EVE is moving to Python 3 in one of the biggest code migrations ever... the game used to run on a custom Python 2.7 since 2010.
