Fun idea! I was surprised that it loaded on mobile and UI was kinda reasonable but I could tap any buttons to move or do anything. I’ll look into sending a PR for fixing that.

Shout-out to the dearly departed theclub.zone, which did this with a bit more panache (as well as a punishingly difficult secret platformer puzzle).

But imho, the truest club experience is the short game SLAVE OF GOD by Increpare:

I love silly stuff like this and can only hope that with AI we see more of it. Enjoyed dropping in and the beats were fire.

I think allowing jumping would add a lot. looking over the top of a whole crowd would be more visually dynamic.

Reminds me of the minecraft based raves during the pandemic.

I like it! but without ability to execute own dance moves, not really dancing... Tried with keyboard but it didn't work.. Now imagining infrared webcam thing and some DIY stick on reflective things.. set up your own rave cave, attach sensors, dance, your virtual self mirrors... now you're raving

Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.

Rave chat was working fine until I wrote "I think rust is overrated" and I can no longer see my or anyone else's messages. Yes, really.

It was crashing so you were losing the connection. Now this should be fixed.

Kinda cool! What's the max concurrency?
reply

Should scale pretty well to hundreds, only key state changes and clothes/messages/etc changes are synced when they happen, it uses dead-reckoning, client authoritative and it's pretty accurate/fast.

Ah cool. So you replace NPCs with real players as they come in, or add them into the mix?

Add them. The graphics support many more. That's why it's low poly. Of course if it gets popular I will start reducing the NPC count. Now they're there otherwise there's no "rave party" feeling.

Looks like you have a serious moderation problem, there are racists running around using n-word racist slurs

it's easier for people to use slurs then to contribute to the source and make it better.

Are you the kind of guy that says that all things that serve no purpose except for entertainment should be banned?

I am of the opposite school. I think practical things are fine and dandy, but the things that make us human, make life worth living, are all "useless".

Isn't that true of all games, and even for comments on this website? Sorry if I am just missing the sarcasm.
