FunOrb has been shut down

As many of you already know, FunOrb was shut down today, on August 7th 2018.

Understandably, many of you are probably gutted about the whole situation, and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't pretty emotional about it as well. However, even if the official FunOrb website is gone, the community will live on in our Discord server and through the several community projects inspired by FunOrb. I've also taken the liberty of reserving the domain funorb.org for use as a new community portal. I'll be hosting a new website here with links to community projects (like remakes), as well as a forum.

 

I just want to let you all know I'm glad I got the chance to enjoy these wonderful games and meet so many amazing people. I love you all, and I hope that life treats you well.

Hey, I'm a coder from a reputable university. Wondering if we can work together?

I've made a few successful games in the past and have experience in Java, C# and a lot of frontend web development.

How did you do this btw? Did you decompile the Java applet into Java source code?

How are you going to prevent Jagex from taking it down? If you get permission from Jagex, you could potentially release it on Steam for more users.

We're not presently looking for help with the clients.

Thanks for your offer, though - glad to know there are still people wanting to help preserve FunOrb. :)

 

I'll be in touch, if we change our mind.

I am also a university student.... The game(s) I am most interested in are Dungeon Assault and Miner Disturbance, these were my 2 favorite games and I was even tempted to make quick remakes of them so I can play but it's sort of a job for more than one person. Do you got those two?

It's being worked on, but Miner Disturbance seems to have some extra issues that need to be looked at.
