So I spent 3.5 years making a game as a website...
Anyway, the structure of this website uses microservices, driven by an engine I dubbed the MERN-template. It has it's own auth service, and supports both chat and a news feed. The game-specific elements are closed-source though (the idea is you fork the core repo, and build out from there).
- login / registration form

Is the MERN stack still worth learning?
i use mariadb, but yes.
-
So I wrote an auth server - are people using it???
Backstory: Decade Jam, a game jam that lasts for a decade, began Jan 1st, 2020. I started writing a web game called Egg Trainer, but after a year of work realized that my codebase wasn't workable anymore. So at the beginning of 2021, I began working on a game engine that would power the beta version of ET - this is called the MERN-template (clearly, I'm bad at naming things).
-
MERN Stack, why?
My MERN-template actually uses MySQL. There's no requirement that you do it one specific way.
-
If you were tasked with creating a Reddit clone what would your stack be?
I'd use the MERN-template project that I wrote myself. It's essentially the mern stack, except with MySQL.

Monetising a Web Game
I've basically written this thing from the ground up, including an open source engine that uses microservices.

PSA: Your choice of Game Engine has little to no effect on whether your first game gets finished. And zero effect on whether you make a "good" game.
Anyway here's my game engine.

Why you should be obsessed with "dogfooding" your product
Oh, I've done this with my MERN-template. It was designed to power my game, but I made it available for others to use.

Instead, I was recommended Godot by a fellow developer. It is an easy-to-pickup and beginner-friendly open-source engine, which I will use to develop the Tetris game.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

Would love to see this for Godot (https://github.com/godotengine/godot). Maybe Maplibre too (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native)!

My thought on different engines
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.
