Superpowers, a collaborative HTML5 2D and 3D game maker, is now open-source
Giving it another shot since it didn't take off when I submitted it a few days ago. Quoting my comment on the original submission (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10864402" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10864402</a>):<p>Hi! I've been working on live collaborative game development software for about 4 years (some of you might remember me from CraftStudio). For the past year and a half, we've been working on Superpowers with my two friends Bilou and Pixel-boy and now we've open sourced it, as promised back in March when we launched early access for supporters.<p>Superpowers at its core (<a href="http://github.com/superpowers/superpowers" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/superpowers/superpowers</a>) is more than a game maker. It's a generic collaborative client/server Web app for building all kinds of projects. A project type is defined by what we call a system, and you can have any number of systems installed on your Superpowers server.<p>We spent most of the last year building the core along with a system called Superpowers Game (<a href="https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-game" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-game</a>), which is a TypeScript game engine built on top of Three.js along with a bunch of collaborative asset editors.<p>Now that the platform is maturing, we've started work on other systems. For instance, Superpowers LÖVE (<a href="https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-love2d" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-love2d</a>) lets you build Lua games for the LÖVE framework.

We've used it to build the official website (<a href="https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-html5.com" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers-html5.com</a>) in real-time collaboration. We have plan for a "Superpowers Node.js" system, and hopefully the community will embrace this extensibility and build cool tools for all sorts of engines and creative endeavours.<p>You can find lots of pictures of the app in the release notes: <a href="https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers/releases" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/superpowers/superpowers/releases</a> and many games made with Superpowers Game here: <a href="http://sparklinlabs.itch.io/" rel="nofollow">http://sparklinlabs.itch.io/</a>.
