Show HN: Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 years

Play, make and share games in your browser. No account required to play.

The Homegames Studio editor

  • Make games in your browser with a simple code editor
  • Live game preview lets you test your changes with live multiplayer sessions
  • Manage game assets right from the studio. Upload your own files or draw/record something in the studio.
  • Publish games if you want to share them with the world. Or you can just keep them to yourself.

Open Source

  • Everything is GPLv3 from the platform code to the games to this website. You can read the code and fork it if you want to.
  • Self-host on your own hardware. Homegames was designed to be self-hostable, including the API.
  • Preservation. If this website gets hit by a bus, your games can live on.

Homegames has been in development as a (mostly) solo side project since 2018.
