LandOfTheRair VS endless-sky

I got pretty far with a 20$ server: https://github.com/LandOfTheRair/LandOfTheRair/

You'll probably want to use a canvas for anything visual, but you can certainly do a lot with angular. My game renders a map, player, and monsters with phaser (canvas/webgl) and everything else is done with angular. Visual example

While they're not very popular, I have been making one. My end goal will be desktop apps with electron, or you can play in the browser if needed.

It's not open world, but I've been working on what I'd like one day to be an MMO.

https://rair.land (disclaimer: I'm making it) is an open source MMO.

You're welcome. If you're looking for more implementation ideas, I have it here. Basically, on version it'll do everything, generate a changelog and a current changelog (I use this to publish only the most recent set of changes in a github release), commit the changelog, and then a script to untag and retag the current version to include the changelog.

Nothing fancy, just a lot of overrides (and some more here). Just a bunch of small changes that eventually became somewhat cohesive. The easiest things you can change to affect material:

Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!

There's an open source successor to Escape Velocity that's fun and continues to grow:

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.
