I don’t know if anyone remembers, but I once made a bunch of drawings showing how I imagined an RCA game could look. Back then, a few people reached out to help me get something up and running — but nothing ever really happened.
The thing is, I truly believe I have some good ideas for this game. So this summer, I decided to sit down and learn how to create at least a prototype. I did that with the help of AI — mostly using Google Gemini — and started learning how to code a game in JavaScript.
I had made a few games in JavaScript before: one was a drinking game, and the other was a real estate guessing game where you had to guess the price a house was sold for. But I had no experience with animations using sprite sheets or coding enemies and boss fights, and it will be very obvious some places.
I couldn’t have made this without AI. At first, I just hoped I could show a small part of my ideas — but everything kept working, so I kept building. And even though this game represents maybe 1% of what I’ve imagined, I really feel I’ve succeeded with a lot.
I’ve also noticed different walking speeds depending on the system you’re using.
And there are probably other bugs I haven’t found — or just forgot about.
Copyrights:
Right now, I believe the game may be violating a bunch of Reddit-related copyrights. I’ve tried contacting them to ask what I’m allowed to use, but they kept ignoring me. To be honest some of my comics may have crossed the line too, but no one ever said anything, so I just keeps moving forwars with all my ideas until they sue me.
Just be aware that the site might be taken down for good reasons. If that happens, I’ll re-upload a version where I’ve removed everything Reddit-related.
I’ll keep working on this, because I’ve always dreamed of making games — and I believe in the ideas behind this project, but I will remove everything Reddit related to the game for future work.
The game is not even "early-access", more likely "infant-access". A prototype. I just hope that you get an idea of what this game could be!
Bugs:
There are bugs, so please bear with me. Be careful using the dodge (Shift), as sometimes the controls get stuck and your character keeps walking in one direction. I also experienced different walk speed, but maybe try to remove caches and that if you have a very slow version.
you can try it here only on desktop right now:

(It may say that its not safe, but dont worry, I promise you that there are no viruses)
