I keep going more niche with reverse engineered web-based versions of games
👉 ut.pieter.com 👈
6 months ago I tried to reverse engineer Urban Terror
Urban Terror was kind of a Counter-Strike style mod on top of the Quake 3 Arena engine, I think @Erwin_AI got me to play this during COVID
Because it runs on Quake 3's engine like RTCW and Q3 itself, I thought I could just use ioquake3 and WASM to run it on web, then add a multiplayer server and it'd just work...
But no it didn't, I got stuck 6 months ago, it was buggy and wouldn't work, I kept trying and kinda got it to load but not really play
Today I tried it again with Opus 5.5 and again, I couldn't get it to work, giving up I did a last try with Fable 5.1 on high effort and it after awhile it did figure out the issue!
"The engine's struct was 4 bytes longer than what UT's bytecode expects, everything after that point (the entity count and the entity list) was read 4 bytes off"
It rewrote the bytecode and made it work!
So now we have another game preserved, running 100% the web via WASM, with a multiplayer server tied to it, so you can play with your friends 😊
Every model that comes out makes a bit more things possible and you can just keep trying old things that didn't work before
I see lots of people mod modern games now too which looks very cool too
Here I'm playing it with @marckohlbrugge a few minutes ago! Anyway you can play it with everyone else at ut.pieter.com now :D
*if* true, this is quite disappointing.
Reaching out to someones competitors isn't the most classy thing you can do, but it certainly isn't illegal.
If you list your customers publicly (e.g. with logo), prepare for this. It'll happen.
Court threats like these are not cool.
Received a nice message from @eugZolotarenko threatening to “take me to court” because I’m competing with him and @tibo_maker on @outrank_so.
If you think trying to intimidate other indie hackers is how you actually compete, while having an inferior product, you’re a huge loser

You should be more classy man. I know this isn't illegal and nothing prevents you from doing it, but remember that most people understand: the way you treat competitors, is the way you'll treat them because it reflects your values.
