welcome to Gigaverse
a nostalgic RPG with multiple interlooped game modes: roguelite dungeons, cozy fishing, strategy coop, racing, pvp and more!
🧵 here's what you need to know to get started ↓
i have received lots of questions regarding the videos i have been sharing lately featuring a very strange looking @playgigaverse map
tf is that?? extension? did you hack the map? etc.
so here is the actual explanation
back in december i started building a dungeon simulator to test whether my math/logic actually held up in practice. that was the entire goal
fast forward 6 months and the project has mutated into something significantly more unhinged
the original local simulator eventually turned into a fully fledged autobattler with a fully modular system behind it. every module is configurable, meaning users can create and customize their own bots in a couple of minutes without touching code
my current stats:
37.7% all-time winrate in uh
83.5% in d5k
then i started messing around with pixijs and realized i could recreate the gigaverse map itself instead of just simulating the dungeon logic behind it
that turned out to be a very dangerous realization
so naturally i started expanding the map:
new rooms
new npcs
new interactions
new ways of travelling (jeetpack)
new systems
basically just building whatever sounded fun at the time
and honestly, as much as i enjoy the math/logic side of things, pixel stuff is just infinitely more entertaining to work on. im objectively terrible at it, but creating characters like orguk, rom lee and eggmund has been ridiculously fun
alongside the autobattler systems i also started building utility tools directly into the map itself:
rom claiming
pet feeding
fish cooking
fish selling
egg hatching
potion crafting
pot crushing
etc
then i added marketplaces directly onto the map:
one for ingame items
one for roms
one for pets/eggs
why use opensea when you can just walk over to a market stall and buy things directly inside the world itself
eventually i realized a lot of these systems could be chained together into full automation pipelines
eggmund rollington is one of those pipelines:
buy egg
buy materials
influence egg
eggspedite it
roll the egg
absolute vegas
recently i also started integrating gigascanner data directly into the map through interactable objects
touch the goblin statue in the garden and a leaderboard of the biggest item hoarders appears
other objects open:
fish lb
pet lb
faction data
glhfers dashboards
market data
etc
so what exactly is this thing?
honestly, i dont even fully know anymore
it started as a simulator
then became an autobattler
then became a map editor
then became a collection of utility systems
then somehow turned into whatever this is now
it is currently in beta. around 30 users are testing it extensively and providing valuable feedback
no set launch date yet, but june is looking promising
