According to the developer, Homegames, an open‑source browser game platform, was announced after eight years of development. The service lets anyone play, create and share games directly in a web browser without requiring an account. Launched on Hacker News, the platform includes a simple code editor, a live preview for testing changes, and an asset manager that supports uploading files or drawing and recording content. Users can publish games for public sharing or keep them private, and the entire system can be self‑hosted on personal hardware. The project, released under the GPLv3 license, is fully self‑hostable, allowing the code and any games to be preserved even if the hosted website becomes unavailable. The project began as a solo side effort in 2018 and emphasizes preservation, allowing games to continue running if the hosted site is taken offline. Features include a built‑in code editor, live multiplayer preview, and a studio for managing game assets, enabling users to upload files or create content directly within the platform. Homegames remains available for self‑hosting and community contributions, with no announced plans for commercial monetization.
