Play, make and share games in your browser. No account required to play.
- Make games in your browser with a simple code editor
- Live game preview lets you test your changes with live multiplayer sessions
- Manage game assets right from the studio. Upload your own files or draw/record something in the studio.
- Publish games if you want to share them with the world. Or you can just keep them to yourself.
Open Source
- Everything is GPLv3 from the platform code to the games to this website. You can read the code and fork it if you want to.
- Self-host on your own hardware. Homegames was designed to be self-hostable, including the API.
- Preservation. If this website gets hit by a bus, your games can live on.
Homegames has been in development as a (mostly) solo side project since 2018.
