while this is just a side project, i wanna give it the full celebration! riverton entered 1.0 today! 🎉

riverton is a nostalgic browser game where you adopt #virtualpets and own your own ranch! there’s life simulation elements, but it is meant to be a casual browser game you can play entirely alone or with others 😊 there’s all custom art from independent artists that is SO cute!

this project was made to teach myself php and game logic javascript. i made the game i always wanted as a kid, and it’s pretty fun! i have so much more i want to do with the site, but i’m just glad to move into this next phase without so many crunch deadlines. :)

you can create your account and start playing now!

🎉 Happy birthday #Quake! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the #QuakeEngine. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.

#HalfLife and #CounterStrike are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer #FPS history. Earlier, #Doom (1993) set the stage with groundbreaking 3D visuals, network play, and the birth of #Deathmatch.

The evolution continued with #idTech2 through #idTech5 powering games like #Doom3 and #Rage. Developer #JohnCarmack was the technical genius behind id’s engines before moving to #Oculus.

Which #idTech-based games do you remember?
