As a dad who knows how to code, I decided to build a game just for him. And he absolutely loves it!! There’s honestly no better feeling than making something your kid genuinely enjoys.

I’ve been working on this like crazy trying to make it perfect. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s definitely getting there.

My son speaks, but he isn't fully conversational yet, so getting detailed feedback from him can be tricky. I’d really love your input: what features should I tweak or add?

If you have a minute, feel free to sign up, check it out, and leave me some pointers:

(I’ll post some screenshots in due course once I’ve polished the visuals a bit more!)

What you can have, Is my kid playing it on his tablet.

CURRENTLY IN V0.1.0.0

Hello everyone,

Today, I would like to introduce you to GangShot, a new online mafia browser game currently under active development and testing.

🌐 Play now: https://gangshot.com

GangShot is designed as a living criminal world where nearly every action is connected to the wider game economy, your character’s progression, other players, and the balance of power across the city.

This is not intended to be a game where you simply click the same button repeatedly and watch a number increase. Our goal is to create a connected mafia experience where your decisions, risks, alliances, resources, and long-term strategy all matter.

🕴️ Build Your Criminal Identity

Every player begins at the bottom and must build their own path through the criminal world.

You can increase your rank, improve your statistics, complete missions, unlock achievements, acquire vehicles and items, grow your wealth, and develop a reputation throughout the city.

Your progress is connected across the game. The money you earn can be invested, protected, spent, traded, or lost. Your energy and other resources must be managed carefully, while your actions can lead to profit, injury, arrest, retaliation, or new opportunities.

There is no single correct way to play.

You may focus on wealth, combat, organized crime, business, territory, collecting rare items, helping your gang, or becoming one of the most feared and respected players in the game.

💰 A Connected Criminal Economy

The economy is one of the most important parts of GangShot.

Players can earn and manage money through systems such as:

• Crimes and car theft

• Jobs and missions

• Rackets and illegal businesses

• Smuggling and drug production

• Heists and contracts

• Racing and casino activities

• Properties and real estate

• The stock market

• Auctions and player marketplaces

• Money laundering

• Banks and financial management

These systems are not meant to exist as isolated pages. They are connected through the same economy, player progression, risk systems, items, vehicles, cooldowns, and overall game balance.

A profitable activity may require preparation, energy, equipment, money, statistics, or cooperation with other players. Greater rewards may also involve greater risks.

Our objective is to create an economy that feels active and meaningful without allowing one feature, strategy, or group of players to permanently dominate everything else.

⚔️ Combat, Risk and Consequences

The criminal world should feel dangerous.

Players can participate in combat, train at the gym, place targets on the hitlist, use espionage, improve their equipment, and compete against rivals.

However, actions can have consequences.

You may end up in the hospital after a confrontation or arrested by the police and sent to prison. Lawyers, escape attempts, recovery systems, defensive preparation, and strategic timing can all affect what happens next.

Success should not depend only on having the highest number. Preparation, timing, resource management, alliances, and decision-making should also play an important role.

👥 Gangs, Crews and Territory Wars

GangShot is also being built around social and competitive gameplay.

Players can create or join gangs, organize their members, manage invitations and roles, compete in crew and gang wars, fight for territories, and work together toward shared objectives.

Territory control and organized conflict are intended to become major parts of the wider game world. A strong gang should require more than a powerful leader. It should require active members, planning, cooperation, resource management, and good decisions.

Diplomacy will matter as much as aggression.

Alliances, rivalries, betrayals, negotiations, and long-term strategies can shape the balance of power across the game.

🚗 Vehicles, Items and Rare Rewards

Players can collect and manage vehicles, equipment, inventory items, and rewards of different rarities.

Vehicles can be acquired, stolen, traded, stored, and used across related systems. Items and rewards may be connected to crimes, missions, events, combat, progression, shops, auctions, and the marketplace.

Rare rewards are intended to feel valuable without automatically making the game unfair for everyone else.

Collecting, trading, upgrading, and deciding when to use or sell an item should become meaningful parts of the overall experience.

🏙️ A World That Continues to Expand

GangShot already includes a large collection of connected systems, including:

Crimes, car theft, jobs, missions, achievements, contracts, heists, rackets, gangs, crew wars, gang wars, territories, combat, gym training, espionage, hitlists, police, prison, hospital, lawyers, vehicles, garages, properties, real estate, drug production, smuggling, laundering, banks, stocks, casinos, racing, shops, auctions, marketplaces, inventories, rare items, leaderboards, player profiles, mail, notifications, chat, events, support systems, and more.

Many of these systems are still being expanded, balanced, redesigned, or connected more deeply with one another.

The long-term goal is not simply to have a large number of features. The goal is for those features to work together and create a world in which player activity has real meaning.

🧪 GangShot Is Currently in a Testing Period

GangShot is currently undergoing active testing.

This means that you may encounter:

• Bugs or unexpected behavior

• Features that are incomplete

• Balance changes

• Interface and design changes

• Economy adjustments

• Systems being redesigned or expanded

• Temporary limitations

• Frequent technical improvements

Some values, rewards, cooldowns, requirements, and mechanics may change as we observe how the game performs with real players.

During this period, stability and balance are extremely important to us. We would rather improve or rebuild a system than leave something in the game simply because it already exists.

Please remember that the current version does not represent the final state of GangShot.

🗣️ The Community Will Help Shape the Game

One of the most important principles behind GangShot is that the game should not be decided only by its developers.

The development team will protect the game’s technical stability, security, economy, and overall balance. However, the community should have a genuine voice in how the game evolves.

When you play, please tell us:

• What you enjoyed

• What felt confusing

• What seemed unfair or unbalanced

• Which systems need improvement

• Which bugs or technical problems you discovered

• What features you would like to see

• What would make you return and continue playing

Every serious suggestion will be considered.

Not every request can be added exactly as proposed, especially when it could damage the economy, create unfair advantages, or negatively affect the wider game. However, good community ideas can influence priorities, mechanics, balancing decisions, and future features.

We want GangShot to become a game shaped by both its developers and its players, while always protecting fairness and long-term balance.

🚨 We Need Testers, Strategists and Future Crime Lords

Whether you enjoy competitive games, economy management, character progression, collecting, organized groups, PvP, strategy, or classic mafia browser games, you are invited to join us during this testing period.

Create your account, explore the systems, build your criminal identity, join or create a gang, test different strategies, and let us know what you discover.

Your reports and suggestions can directly help us improve the game.

Old Light is a PBBG about building your own space empire. It's multiplayer, and it's set in one big shared galaxy where everyone plays at once. If you've played Tribal Wars or OGame, you'll probably feel right at home because it's a bit of both, smashed together into something of my own.

No download, no signup. Just open a tab and you're in.

Play it: oldlight.io

The idea

The whole thing runs in real time, but measured in hours, not seconds. Your mines keep producing while you're offline, and your fleets take real hours to cross the map. So you're not meant to sit and stare at it. You check in a few times a day, see what happened, and queue up your next moves.

The other half is not knowing things. You can see the whole galaxy and who owns what, but that's all you get for free. What someone has actually built, their economy, their fleet, and whether they can hurt you, you only find out by sending some probes to go look. So most of your decisions get made on half the picture, and honestly that's the fun of it.

What you do

- Claim a star and grow it out. I tried to make every upgrade a small "do I want this now or the other thing first" decision.
- You build probes and send them at people. They will tell you what's actually there. That's the only way to know.
- Marauders are your hitters, Sentinels are your wall. I didn't want  a "bigger number wins" combat system, so it leans on you scouting first and picking fights you've actually got a read on.

Every system runs on two resources, palladium and iridium, and then there's credits across your whole empire to keep the fleet paid. Underbuild your reactor or let your credits hit zero and things will slow down. So keep your economy in check!

Under the hood

For the devs here: it's TypeScript top to bottom. Pixi.js v8 on WebGL for the frontend, Express + socket.io + TypeORM + Postgres on the backend. It's all server-authoritative, so the client only ever draws what it's told.

Where it's at

It's still in development, but the base of the game is all there and everything from here on is wipe free. So think of it as an early 1.0. Playable now, your empire sticks around, and I'll keep building on top of it.

I'd really love some feedback. Tell me where the first ten minutes lost you, where it dragged, and whether anything made you want to come back the next day.

Cheers,
MrLinxed

Hello everyone,

I’m Rockwood, and I’m proud to announce that I’m launching a new platform in this community!

I’m bringing an aggressive new MMORPG experience and opening a public showcase for the project. Right now, I’m displaying a single-page preview of the game application here:
👉 https://criminal-impulse.com/

This is only the beginning. A testing version will be released soon, and the project will continue expanding with bigger features, darker gameplay, and a stronger community-driven experience.

Get ready — Criminal Impulse is coming. Stay tuned for upcoming test access and future updates.

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking around the MWG/PBBG space for a long time, probably from around the age of 13 if anything. Playing a lot of the games you've all played. I love this genre. But let's be honest — most of what's out there was built in 2005-2010 and looks like it. I wanted something that felt modern, looked premium, and played like a game built in 2026. It started off as a side hustle to my Web Development/Design business(something I fell into from a young age, McCodes is the real root to branching onto that as a legitimate business and where I learnt many things).

The Fifth Family is a browser-based mafia RPG launching soon. I built the entire thing from scratch, my own Custom-Built engine - inspired by the soul of McCodes. Every feature, every system, every line of code — built, debugged, and connected by hand. No templates. No clones. No other engine. From zero to a fully playable game. I take a lot of pride in that. It started off close to post-covid, messing around and seeing what things I could do - no seriousness to it, but I'd come back to it every few weeks - just a little later last year I took it upon myself to decide if these games can survive release still and really go for it. I believe they can - but it's 2026, modernisation is the key. I believe this game has exactly that.

The real barrier - marketing. I have a solid chunk of money saved up to market, however this will be my biggest learning curve and challenge - if you have any suggestions then I would sincerely appreciate it.

Game Previews

All previews available on the pre-launch page.

For Developers — Under The Hood

I know this community appreciates the technical side, so here's the full breakdown for those who care about what's powering it.

  Stack

• Hetzner VPS / CloudPanel / NGINX / PHP 8.3 / MariaDB
• 125+ files, all hand-wired
• Unified Heartbeat polling at 5-second intervals
• PWA manifest with full favicon set
• SFTP deployment workflow

Architecture

• Centralised game engine functions — add_xp(), get_city_bonus(), stat cap seeding via window._initStats from PHP
• Global Game.post() using promises (.then() syntax) for all AJAX interactions
• Instant stat updates via a post() interceptor — no page reloads
• AJAX panel loading system with a global JS interceptor that converts forms and links into async requests
• Staff panel utilises full screen width with auto-wrapped scrollable glassmorphism containers
• Inline JS execution pattern to bypass AJAX <script> tag blocking — all dynamic JS via HTML attributes or onerror injection with proper htmlspecialchars(json_encode()) escaping
• Currency abbreviation system (K/M/B) across all displays
• Cron jobs running on explicit /usr/bin/php8.3 paths (CloudPanel requirement)

SEO & Performance

• Meta/OG/Twitter cards on all public pages
• Schema.org markup (VideoGame + FAQPage)
• robots.txt and sitemap.xml with canonical www URLs
• Google Search Console verified and Google Analytics wired in
• NGINX-level GZIP compression, browser caching, and bad bot blocking
• WebP image optimisation throughout
• Desktop Lighthouse score: 91 / 100 / 100 / 100

Security — The Full Breakdown

I know MWG cares about this, and honestly most games in this genre ship with almost none of it. Here's what's locked down from day one:

  Authentication & Session Security

• Minimum 8-character password enforcement across all entry points (registration, reset, change)
• Brute force lockout system — repeated failed logins trigger automatic temporary bans
• Session fingerprinting — sessions are bound to device characteristics, preventing session hijacking
• CSRF token validation on all state-changing requests, correctly placed after session initialisation

 Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention

• Rate limiting on all sensitive endpoints
• IP ban system with automatic banning on detected abuse patterns
• Automated cleanup via hourly cron job

Server Hardening

• Full HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP)
• display_errors locked off in production — no stack traces or path leaks exposed to users
• CLI guards on all cron scripts — they cannot be triggered via browser
• Webhook secrets hardened
• require_free() lockdown function for maintenance/emergency mode

Admin Tooling

• Security Dashboard in the staff panel with real-time event monitoring
• Full security event logging — every login attempt, ban, suspicious action recorded
• Admin-accessible IP ban management
• Complete file audit performed across all 125+ files

Data Discipline

• No raw database column names, internal identifiers, or backend terminology exposed in any user-facing UI, notifications, or error messages — everything is human-readable labels only

  The Story

  I built this entire game since going full time (8-14 hours a day on average) in around 400 hours. I came up with the vision, the systems, the connections between everything, the UI direction, the game feel. Every bug, every edge case, every broken AJAX call, every encoding issue — I sat there and worked through it, all 125 files and counting.

  I'm not saying this to brag. I'm saying it because this genre deserves better than what's out there, and the barrier to building something great is lower than it's ever been for Persistent/Text based RPG's, this game fits in that genre - but make no mistake, some of the features within are 2.5D - making it a real hybrid that dips it's feet into other genre's too. If this game proves anything to me, it's that the bottleneck was never code. It was always vision, persistence and modernisation.

  Available on Desktop, Mobile Browser, iOS and Android soon.

  I'd love feedback from this community on launch. You lot have been building and playing these games longer than most. Tell me what you think.

A Mafia RPG built on strategy, territory, and a living AI-driven economy

Blood and Power is a multiplayer organized-crime RPG focused on decision-making, timing, and long-term progression. This is not a clicker. Power comes from how well you understand systems, manage risk, and control the economy around you.

You create your character, choose your organized crime group (OCG), and rise through a world shaped by PvP pressure, faction conflict, and an AI-driven economy that constantly evolves.

What Makes It Different

• Five distinct OCGs with unique identity and playstyle
• Backend-authoritative systems — consistent, competitive, and resistant to exploits
• AI-driven economy and balancing that adapts to player behavior
• Deep interconnected systems — PvP, crime, economy, and territory all influence each other
• A world built for faction conflict and control, not solo grinding

AI-Driven Economy & Systems

This is a living game world, not a static one.

Dynamic Economy

• Prices shift based on real supply, demand, and player activity
• Scarcity, inflation, and opportunity emerge naturally
• Markets, vendors, and listings reflect actual player behavior

Intelligent Balancing

• Systems monitor:
  • Resource generation vs. sinks
  • Build performance and combat balance
  • Crime efficiency and reward loops
• Adjustments prevent:
  • Broken metas
  • Infinite money exploits
  • Dead or unused content

Adaptive Risk vs Reward

• High-reward activities become riskier when overused
• Underused systems become more rewarding over time

Territory & Faction Pressure

• Territory value reacts to:
  • Activity
  • Economic throughput
  • Conflict levels
• Incentives shift to keep the world contested and competitive

Fair Play Enforcement

• AI-backed detection flags abnormal patterns and stabilizes systems early

Result:
No fixed meta. No permanent advantage. Players who adapt win.

If anyone got any tips or advise let me know. 

GrimSpur is a persistent, browser-based multiplayer RPG set in the 1880s American frontier. Think Torn City, but instead of a modern crime sim — you're building a life in the lawless West. Start as a broke drifter. End up a cattle baron, outlaw kingpin, gunslinger, or lawman. No single win condition. You decide what your character becomes.

The world runs 24/7. Your character exists whether you're logged in or not. Rivals can attack you, your businesses earn passively, and the frontier moves on without you.

What's Done

The core loop is built and playable right now:

• Auth system — registration, login, JWT sessions
• Character stats — Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Cunning with training
• Energy bars — Nerve, Stamina, Grit, Focus with real-time refills
• Crimes system — commit crimes, get jailed, do your time
• Combat / PvP — attack other players, mug them, hospitalize them
• Jail & hospital — cooldown systems for failed crimes and lost fights
• Inventory system — items, weapons, gear
• Crafting — make your own equipment
• Shops & marketplace — buy, sell, and trade with other players
• Player profiles — public stats, reputation, activity
• Admin panel — player management, crime editor, item editor, god mode for testing
• Live chat & activity feed — real-time via Socket.io

What's in the Pipeline

• Gangs (factions, territory, organized crime, gang wars)
• Player-owned businesses (saloons, ranches, mines, 30+ types)
• Travel system across 12 frontier towns
• Jobs system (ranch hand, deputy, bounty hunter, and more)
• Education courses that unlock abilities
• Housing (14 tiers, from sleeping under the stars to the Governor's Mansion)

Looking for Volunteers / Staff

This is a solo build so far and I'm looking for people who want to get involved. All roles welcome:

• Frontend devs — React/Tailwind, building out pages and components
• Backend devs — Node/Express/PostgreSQL, game systems and APIs
• Testers — the game is live right now, playable, and needs eyes on it
• Writers — help shape the frontier world, write crime descriptions, lore
• Artists / designers — UI polish, icons, Western aesthetic
• Anyone who's interested — if you want to be part of building something from the ground up, reach out

I'm also starting a Discord for the project. If you're interested in testing, contributing, or just following along — drop a reply or message me and I'll get you access.

This is a passion project built the right way. Clean codebase, no spaghetti, no shortcuts. Come help build the frontier.

I wanted to show off a project I was previously working on a couple hours a week but now taking it up a couple of notches - the reality is, I'm pushing for a full blown release and going all in with several thousand $ saved up for marketing.

Like many of us here, I grew up on McCodes-era text-based mafia games. I love the core gameplay loops (Crimes, Gym, Jail, Hospital, PvP etc), but returning to them in 2026, the UX obviously feels incredibly dated-constant page reloads, messy UI and clunky interactions. That's expected, go back to it's release date - you're going to get that unless you build heavily on it or start scratch.

That's the route I took, a FRESH START.

My goal was to still capture the absolute essence of what made McCodes V2+ so addictive, but completely rewrite the whole underlying architecture so it can eventually feel and compete as a 2026/2027 Modern Browser game(for now or atleast the near future).

Why for now? Because I intend by the end of this year to scale it into a full blown Mobile MMO RPG but with connective database to the Web Game - so they stay as one, that is something I need to learn even more about though and maybe even bring someone onboard.
 

Coding Methods & Architecture

- Zero Page Reloads (SPA feel) - Instead of header and footer.php, every action is wrapped. The UI is a single dashboard. Clicking a feature like Crime or Casino triggers a Vanilla JS fetch request that loads a PHP-rendered view into a centralized center modal.

- No more if($_GET['action'] == 'do_crime') spaghetti. Actions are sent to AJAX POST to sandboxed action scripts.

- Implemented Live DOM Traversal (To get .livecash/.liveenergy).

- Modern Backend PHP 8+, fully PDO prepared statements. Strictly typed functions and robust CSRF token verification.

- Session-State Tracking in Casino(Blackjack).

UI & Visuals

Currently all CSS. I'm on the search for a graphics designer to bring this to life. I'm open to pay as you go method with said designer but bringing one onboard would be more ideal.

Fully Installed Features

- Crimes, Gym, Fight Club, Upgradable Mansion, City Territories(HUGE for my game concept), Bank, Careers, Casino, Emergency & Comms, Inventory and a real live game chat.

Features to come

- I would be here all day. But the biggest feature to come is a 2.5D map system to properly integrate City Territories on a new level - with territorial buildings, opening times for when that building becomes an occupiable state and the rewards/buffs that building provides. (I have pulled this concept out of Sea of Conquest & Mafia City by Phantix and combined them).

- Mathematical scaling of all features so they're game release ready - that's last.

- Full cinematic look to the game - this eventually will not be classed as text based, but right now that's how we build.

I'd love to hear all your thoughts so far especially from old school McCodes devs. If you have any suggestions on features, any Graphic's Designers you can recommend or even your thoughts on difficulty producing a 2.5D Real-time Map do provide your in-put, it is greatly appreciated.

You can visit my game project testing domain at: https://rs-gaming.com  // The plan is to have this project at Lite release level by April 2026. However, large additions such as the 2.5D map will come further along.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working for quite some time now. I’m building a new browser-based text game called Disrupted, which is heavily inspired by an old game some of you might remember Zapoco. Zapoco was a unique post-apocalyptic PBBG that sadly shut down, but it left a lasting impression on a lot of players, including me. 

My aim isn’t to just make a clone, but to revive the spirit while giving it the polish and support it deserves. Eventually, I’ll make the project open-source so the community can help shape its future. (... what tom didn't do) 

I’m trying to capture the same gritty atmosphere Zapoco had, while expanding on it with more depth (features). That said, I’m still missing a lot: features, settings, and even some of the old scripts are gone. For example, I don’t remember exactly how the safehouse kitchen worked. How could it be upgraded? What were the production ratios? Was it something like 1 tonne of grain = 1 bread? These are details I’d really love to recover from people who played back then. If no one remembers, I’ll have to come up with my own solutions.

So if you remember Zapoco — its features, ratios, or mechanics — please share your knowledge. It would be a huge help in making (or trying) Disrupted feel like the successor to a game many of us loved. Or just want to help build a game, your all welcome 🙂

Greetings

Thanks

I had a thought, and whilst I’m not an active part of this community it was my home for many years so I’d like to give back.

do any of you budding game developers have a project in mind that you would like to bring to fruition? But maybe need that little bit of support (cost of living, financial crisis, young and broke etc)

I’ll like you to tell me your project idea (for the sake of clarity I don’t have any intention of getting back into game development or any kind of development in general so I’m not here to steal your ideas) 

I am only going to pick one of the projects but I would like to support one of you by either finding a years worth of hosting from these kind folks at MWG that now provide hosting, or by purchasing a license to one of the game engines available - I think this is only MCCodes and GL at the moment that offer paid versions.

alternatively if you have all these things but need a domain I’m happy to change it and get a domain for 2 or 3 years for you.

Just my way of giving back to the community and hopefully helping the next generation of youngsters getting into the game dev scene.

equally if you can think of something else I can provide I am happy to consider - not sure of the learning platforms these days where you can subscribe to get tutoring etc but happy to consider it.

forgive any grammatical errors, on phone - giving me a hard time at the moment.

please note with any of these no money will change hand I will purchase these and transfer ownership rather than getting money for your sex drugs and rock and roll from me.

Edit: will promise to check back regularly unlike my once every other month. 

Playable the browser on PC. All feedback is welcome.
