API-Based Multiplayer RPG Game

by Alex

Hi Hackers,

I have an idea of building an API-based Multiplayer RPG game with an open world, characters, guilds, interesting quests, fights, etc.

All actions in the game are done by calling the API HTTP endpoints. Players are free to build their own UI clients or automations and share publicly. The idea is to build a positive community of players on Discord and help people learn APIs, programming in general and share the ideas.

I am planning to make it free, but also thinking about some "add-ons" that can unlock some hidden locations, quests, etc.

I am a software engineer with a strong experience building similar things, so will be leading a tech part. But also interested if someone finds that exciting and want to join this journey of developing a game and building a community.
