    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 don't want to push now because it will restart the server and break all connections :/

    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.
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      Good idea. PR will be accepted.

    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.
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      Yeah, skin colors is a good idea and good for first PR :)

    haha what a fun site :D. Two dance sections to the rave site, will you be adding a Psytrance section?
    • stagas 16 minutes ago
      Hopefully many more! Definitely also Psy. Ty!

    And it was immediately fouled by racism.

    This is really cool!

    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.
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      It was crashing so you were losing the connection. Now this should be fixed.
  • helloplanets 1 hour ago
    Did this get hugged to death? Not loading for me at all.
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      It was crashing but now it should be ok. Until a new bug arises.

    add a real player count

    Kinda cool! What's the max concurrency?
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      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.
      • SLHamlet 1 hour ago
        Ah cool. So you replace NPCs with real players as they come in, or add them into the mix?
        • stagas 1 hour ago
          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
    • M4v3R 4 minutes ago
      how do we know it’s not black people using the n-word though, which they do all the time?
    • stagas 29 minutes ago
      PR we add guns and we shoot each other. This is a rave party. Only love.
    • ptek 19 minutes ago
      it's easier for people to use slurs then to contribute to the source and make it better.

      The code is right there and MIT licensed. Be the change you want to see.

    Trees are dying because of this game. The epa should go after these folks for all their money.
    • stagas 1 hour ago
      That's why we planted a tree in the game.

      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".

    • submerge 1 hour ago
      Isn't that true of all games, and even for comments on this website? Sorry if I am just missing the sarcasm.
