overgrowth VS ruffle

No but they released the source code, so many one day? Lol https://github.com/WolfireGames/overgrowth

Overgrowth does this as well

Looks like Lugaru is fully open sourced (All Wolfire assets are now licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0). You can get it here: https://github.com/osslugaru/lugaru/releases If you want something newer, then there is engine for Overgrowth: https://github.com/WolfireGames/overgrowth But game data Overgrowth is still proprietary.

Here's the FOSS source code, the buy page, the Steam page, and the blog announcement.

Overgrowth is the only one that I know of that uses OpenGL exclusively. Just checked it again and they actually released source code just two weeks ago!

Wolfire Games is a tiny studio. Wikipedia says 4 employees. Development of Overgrowth is mostly one person, who documented the whole process in fascinating weekly videos:

The title says "game engine" because the artwork remains proprietary (similar to old id games, buy the game to get it).

However, just to clarify, all the game code (including gameplay logic, which is sometimes not considered part of the "game engine") is Apache 2.0.

If you're referring to riggedobject.cpp, that apparently includes most of their procedural/physics based animation code. 5k lines sounds reasonable for that.

The memories…

I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever?

It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work flawlessly.

shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated.

sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/

Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/

Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript

I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine.

But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019.

Out of curiosity a couple months ago I wondered if I could play my old Proximity flash game on Newgrounds from the browser within the Quest 3 VR headset, and it worked great!

That led me to do a little searching, and I discovered that originally the game didn't work in Ruffle, as I apparently did something with the play game button that wasn't normal. But someone put a fix in it back in 2020[1] in order to get my game working again. That was pretty neat. Felt kind of nice that people still cared enough about my old game to make sure it still works in an emulator.

Still working on a more in-depth sequel (using Monogame), and I'm way overdue to make a new web version of the original. Might knock that out once I get closer to getting the sequel out there.

i believe it's using Ruffle[0] and that's already happened[1]

This is all using a really cool Flash emulator called https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle
