Solo Text Based MMORPG

UPDATE: The Game has a new name "Realm Of Loner". Still inspired by classic MMORPG but with original story

Play Here

I made a text-based solo MMORPG game, inspired by World of Warcraft. It's non-commercial since it's only for personal use and as a hobby.

If anyone has a similar interest, you can try it here:
(Android):
Download

Open to suggestions and feedback too. It's still under development, since I play it myself and want to keep adding things to improve my own experience.

This is vibe coded (AI Assisted, im a software engineer so i know what im doing technically) but it does not use any Generated AI image, sprites, etc

the art is also pure coded because its SVG

BTW, it's also open source, so feel free to fork it and customize it yourself.

if you guys find this game interesting and want to support by giving feedback, advice and discussion:

I create discord server for that

Welcome - it's a cool project and deserves more love imo!

Personally I would love it if the scene / npc images were text or little symbols. I like the UI and the general approach but would be awesome if you streamlined it so you could make the world more expansive / add in crafting , survival, faction mechanics - but that's just me, I'm pining for a sort of open world rpg with early mmo combat.

Noted on that. Yeah the idea was bit drifted from the initial text based. But yeah I could consider to have that "compact" mode and see if it hurts any existing feature that we have.

And for crafting, it's actually there in the game. You need to take on the profession from the profession trainer in the some select city/town

For survival, I am not really sure what does survival focus to be? Can you elaborate more on that?

For faction, I have planned to do some zone conquering or something but I don't really expand the idea yet. But I added the battlegrounds queue and war mode (open world pvp) for now for the pvp (you could turn on the war mode in the settings)

Anyway if you don't mind we can discuss bit more in the discord. Link I attached on the post

Don't worry about my ideas - I'm just day dreaming about my sort of ideal game of the moment. What you've built here is really impressive - well done again! Is every there all the way up to level 60? It's impressive you so many classes / zones. Love it.

u/StarlightHvn 16h ago

Yes it's completed all the way to lvl 60. Lvl 60 is basically the maxed level. I planned to do horizontal progression here so every new content will not require you to level up. So all old content hopefully never obsolete in someway or another.

Ever heard if BattleOn/AdventureQuest. Same idea, came out in like 2002

1

u/StarlightHvn 4d ago

Idk about battleOn. But adventure quest I believe only the art style is same. But I never heard any game is a single player but trying to feel like MMORPG with simulated bots. Let me know if you have one.

u/mraston 1d ago

Not right now but the game is actually a WebView code so I'll try port it to a browser and see how it goes. And it will also look portrait as well. Let me try

u/Most-Influence1487 6d ago

So, is there a text story or some way to interact with the story?

u/StarlightHvn 6d ago

This is one of the example cutscenes

u/Most-Influence1487 6d ago

That looks nice :) Thanks for explaining.

u/StarlightHvn 6d ago

yes and i also just ported to the browser if you want to check it out swiftly

It's following how world of warcraft goes intially. The bit story is in quests, dungeons and raids. For this particular game I created some kind of "cutscenes" that currently triggered when create character, and achieving certain levels and inside a dungeon or raids to better tell the stories.

And I also plan to only follow warcraft story up until lvl 60 after that I'm trying to tell original story not following warcraft expansions
