Awesome stuff once again Simon, just added you to my Patreon list. Since you worked on Prototype, any chance of doing some procedural or otherwise city type stuff? Cheers!
Awesome, thank you! I've had procedural city stuff on my list forever, I'd love to take a stab there. IIRC Prototype didn't do any runtime procedural stuff with the city, it was all hand placed. The builds were kinda procedural, but as part of the art pipeline.
I only support videos that do a walk through you always start in the middle of something on ALL your videos so NO I wont be supporting you if you make a video from start to finish then hit me up.
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!
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.
Thanks! Yeah the smaller ones are all part of what i would consider more fundamental knowledge, but showing you how to tie it together helps ground it, at least that's the thought.
I love your videos. They're another level above what's on RUclips. You really go deeper that any other RUclips dev I follow and it's really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making these videos!
I mean this is barebones as can be… in a big firm you would also have a full fledged CMS, security features, proper menus, UIX, etc etc all expensive cause time consuming…
@@Etienne_H Yes, security implementation and user account management alone can self-destruct an entire game project. Even when made by 'big name' companies. Apparently Blizzard's project Titan was total crap when it came to this. Not to mention how project Titan always looked kind of like trash in terms of art direction and game design anyway. But it might be unfair to judge a completely unfinished game.
@@PHeMoX Obfuscation in the code in Rift caused it to run like absolute dogshit. Graphics were still amazing for the time and hold up well, but Trion's security implementations ruined the performance of the game and caused so many people to quit. Very important to get it right.
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 ❤
@@simondev758 One person definitely can't know anything, but your approach to the problem and working around things that you already know is what makes you special. That's the thing. Many junior devs or programmers just follow the rules instead of making their own approach. No need to climb the tree for an apple, when you can look around and find a branch with an apple that you can easily reach
You probably misunderstand. This guy, while not knowing exactly how to do something, *knows how to find out*. He has a wealth of core understandings that make evaluating and choosing solutions easier. That is his true skill... and it can only come from years of experience.
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.
Time... That is what we must all sacrifice, as well as likely money and emotions too. I've been coding for 20 years and have worked on multiplayer and MMO tooling and some server scripts. I've never encountered one human that has so much of it in their head at once.

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!
legendary content again, and the fact that you code it in JS is humiliating. I started coding since covid, so I hope I can come back to this video after a couple of years and understand it deeper.

I’m so glad I found your channel!! What you’re doing with JavaScript is top tier!! I’ll start learning three.js!! Thank you so much for your knowledge!!
Simon, you are a pearl in this ocean. People actually doing work are so rare. It is easy to record yourself with a cup of coffee and some game titles behind your back while saying what you think about this or that. If youtube was full of people like you, ubiversities around the wolrd would already be disappearing.
Man. This thing you just made. I see you, and then I see myself struggling with typescript, and I'm completely ashamed. I need to git gud ASAP. Thanks a lot for your content. It really motivated me!
This is just AWESOME ! I'm looking forward into JS Game dev, this video makes me believe in myself and wanting to push myself far enough to be able to do what you have done so far
Awesome vid as always! I was wondering, if you could make a video on how to structure code of a "more complex" game. Ideally for JS/not using an engine, but even if you could talk a bit more broadly about any experience using different structures would be super useful. I feel like you have so many specific topics & use cases here, but in my experience we all sooner or later fall into the "how can I make my code more modular & be able to reuse it better" situation, and some thoughts on this would be great! I.e. say using canvas/three.js, and there's a game that has tanks, projectiles, active skills and research upgrades that can affect various attributes of all those, is the best way to typically stick with classes/methods that describe data and functionality of each of those, or rather writing something more general i.e. an "attribute class" that you can then add/remove/adjust to each of the objects. Or another example, say I wanted to handle attach/handle animations to objects, add particle effects to them etc. - I.e. tank fires a shell, that creates a muzzle flash animation, and then hits another tank - should i.e. damage that shell deals be stored in it, or in the tank and the shell having a reference to it? Or going further, some best practices for creating UI more modularly, or in-game events/listeners etc. Sorry for a huge question again, but I just wanted to illustrate with a rough example - I know it is a broad topic and can vary from game to game, but a video on such a topic would be awesome!
Huge questions are great, and this is a really good one. I've been kicking around ideas for videos in that space, things that draw on more than just technical problems. I've added all your questions to my "ideas" doc. Give me some time to figure out how to present these kind of ideas, and in what format. I do want to tackle things that help everyone become more "rounded", so to speak.
@@simondev758 Sounds awesome, thank you! Whenever you can manage will be great (well ideally in 2021) - I know you're getting a ton of request, but tbh it's your fault you make great videos :P
i'm aware how weird it sounds, but i really like your voice and the chill way you talk&explain. would listen for hours to no end haha. keep it up mate.
This is the kind of video that you watch as an up and coming programmer and you start to thinki that programming is nothing for you since u can't even do 1% of what this guy is capable of. But as a junior programmer myself I can guarantee to anyone that even with 0,1% of skill of this guy, you'll make a good income as a dev.
dude, i understand almost everything this guy did, and did myself those code... the logic is not problem to me, but deal with companies are, soo my income as a programmer and even job as a programmer is a fucking pain in the ass to me, even with a over average incomming from my skills (to work, because i use most of my free time playing and creating small game projects), time working with programming, are 10% higher than average programming income, but, i not had enought courage to drop from my job that i not like and try be a game dev in any level, i live into a country that work with games or even be unployed is really though yet
Thats pretty hilarious that anyone would think its nothing for them because they dont do something instead of thinking holy shit there are some fucking layers to this I can go to if I put the work in, which actually makes sense, instead of some defeatist attitude where you think that this guy was born with programming abilities and knowledge or w/e
I am programming for around 12 years now. In the past 5 years I made around 4500USD total. No idea what you guys are doing to get good income, nobody wants me cause I have no degree in actual programming, mathematics or what ever paper they want otherwise :D
I just started a web development course recently and my next module is javascript and your video makes me SO STOKED to learn! Great job. This was so cool
Amazing stuff, really! Only thing that I'm kinda sad not being covered is the process of deploying the server. Other than that really an impressive compilation of all kinds of technological fields, each with it's own rabbit hole to go down! I subscribed!
Super cool. I'm psyched you are doing this. As a developer that has played minecraft and runescape I've always thought it would be cool to build some kind of MMORPG in javascript (though I'm not yet a JS dev).
I am trying this in blockchain, clarly with three js (maybe blender if you want more complexity with your models), peer js, node, nest, sockets, some other things and doing your own blockchain you can basically do this without pay to anyone because the users are the ones who run this because it functions in real time with their pros and cons but I think that's the best architecture for this kind of Massive Multiusers projects. But I'm still learning
This is the best JavaScript video I've ever seen in my life! Thank you for this amazing content! I just have one question: Why do you use underscores in the name of class properties? Like socket_, _USERS, pos_, etc
@@simondev758 Thank you so much for your answer! I'm a Junior backend developer, but my dream is to be a gamedev and know so much about JavaScript like you know! Please don't stop your videos, I love your channel!
Awesome video! Really impressive stuff, I enjoyed it. I really want to learn ThreeJS but coming from a frontend environment and some backend experience I have no idea where to start.
You can just head to threejs's website and start with their examples, that's what I did. I probably should be recommending you my own videos, so I also have beginner tutorials covering the basics, and these bigger ones just tie stuff together that I've mostly covered already.
I believe the character blinking issue is related to camera position and its viewport distance related. Provided that you are one heck of a developer. Subbed and liked.

Dayum, finally i made it run on VS 2019 lol, got some knowledge of javascript but zero from NodeJS so i kinda peeled my knees there but made it run. Got some issue with the terrain menu but ill check it on later. Great work!
Just discovered your channel, and a great video! A couple of challenges you can come up with if you ever want to do future videos on the MMORPG project: - Optimising the data sent between server and client. Think quantization of location vectors, only sending data that has changed - Determining relevancy: only send information about entities to a client if they actually need to know about them. These will be crucial, or you'll quickly find that the networking solution won't scale to the hundreds of players you need for an actual MMO :-)
@@simondev758 yeah! Definitely. And fun fact I did watch ALL the video without any understanding of programming and didn’t even fast forward it. Whoa!? 🤣
What did you do during lockdown? Me: Watched Netflix and ate doritos. Simon: Coded an online rpg in javascript. What the fuck am I doing with my life...
Went through and rewrote this into TS. Now, its bug-ridden lol Enemies are being drawn hundreds of times. Enemies will disappear if you get too close. It's chaos lol I was being careful not to modify anything, but I must have bjorked it.
@@simondev758 sorry, I was a bit busy with life so I didn’t watch this video yet when I commented. It does have networking ! (I meant first project on this channel with networking) and haha you ran into some of the problems I had. The animations going through for one player but not the other.
I just started with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and was worried about how people always talk about languages dying and stuff but this gives me inspiration that there’s a lot of cool things that can be done with the language if you’re creative.

Dayum, finally i made it run on VS 2019 lol, got some knowledge of javascript but zero from NodeJS so i kinda peeled my knees there but made it run. Got some issue with the terrain menu but ill check it on later. Great work!
sorcerer is overpowered ! :p (thanks, great project !)
Next update, she's getting nerfed.
This is an awesome experience and brief introduction to networking for games!
So entertaining to watch you work through this, sick job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Just discovered your channel, and a great video!
A couple of challenges you can come up with if you ever want to do future videos on the MMORPG project:
- Optimising the data sent between server and client. Think quantization of location vectors, only sending data that has changed
- Determining relevancy: only send information about entities to a client if they actually need to know about them.
These will be crucial, or you'll quickly find that the networking solution won't scale to the hundreds of players you need for an actual MMO :-)
This is some serious talent. You should throw this up on Google App Engine so people can play it.
This is fantastic. I don't think I've ever clicked the Subscribe button faster. Amazing work here.
So this popped on my discover page. I’m no programmer, but man. After watching this i’m considering of learning it.
Thanks! I consider it a pretty huge win if I can get someone other than a programmer to set through this, heh.
@@simondev758 yeah! Definitely. And fun fact I did watch ALL the video without any understanding of programming and didn’t even fast forward it. Whoa!? 🤣
JS rocks, and you SimonDev, rock too - it's truly impressive (one week!), yayy!
What did you do during lockdown?
Me: Watched Netflix and ate doritos.
Simon: Coded an online rpg in javascript.
What the fuck am I doing with my life...
The interpolation thing was neat to think about. Smoooooooothing things out...
Light years beyond Dreamworld
Thank you for the work you put out! I like your video style!
You forgot the overpriced cash shop!
Woah. No words that this is incredible
I've been a developer for like 15 years. You make me feel like I just started today. Which is nice, but also not lol.
What a dope vid man. BIG RESPECT!
I dont know how long this project took, but you surpassed the development of Chronicles of Elyria halfway through the video.
Haha
he said it took him a week
"Hurray for bad solutions"
I love how i'm learning and laughing at the same time.
Went through and rewrote this into TS. Now, its bug-ridden lol Enemies are being drawn hundreds of times. Enemies will disappear if you get too close. It's chaos lol I was being careful not to modify anything, but I must have bjorked it.
Heh nice!
thank you for spending time creating the game and sharing it with others. appreciated.
Oh man this is going to be good, I haven’t even watched it yet. First project with networking?
I've messed around a bit with networking before, but I'm far from an expert. Next time I'll just use a higher level library, but this was fun.
@@simondev758 sorry, I was a bit busy with life so I didn’t watch this video yet when I commented. It does have networking ! (I meant first project on this channel with networking) and haha you ran into some of the problems I had. The animations going through for one player but not the other.
I have just started watching this, but: You madman! You true and crazy madman.
All the best
1 WEEK!?!!?! Dude wow. Impressive
Bit of a cheat since I reuse a lot of prior work :p
This is a very interesting project. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
I love your voice! it's like a happy G-man
Heh, there was a guy in the office whose nickname was G-Man. When I saw your comment, I was wondering how you knew him before realized the reference.
I just started with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and was worried about how people always talk about languages dying and stuff but this gives me inspiration that there’s a lot of cool things that can be done with the language if you’re creative.
Languages are just tools. People that get hung over a tech stack usually are mediocre at best.
