Hacker themed browser based PHP game — ORPG —open source & live preview — 2021 update
Having made the code available since 2018 on GitHub, there is now a live demo available with some small cleanups published to the repository. Within a few minutes anyone can create their own instance. Contributions are welcome if anyone will be so inclined. There may be some additional features coming in this year.
Version 3 (above is version 4, simpler and more modern) has received a few bugs fixed as well and is available on a live deployed version too!
Hosting and technology
The game works on the latest version of PHP 7 & MySQL with nothing else needed, and instructions available within the README file. While PHP isn’t the most stable of choices, as highlighted in another post, it made sense at the time to approach it from this direction.
The live demoes are hosted on Dreamhost, and I strongly recommend their hosting platform, very easy to setup and with DNS configs and SSL [HTTPS] at the push of a button (was able to give up even on Cloudflare by just transitioning to Dreamhost).

Mobile app

Future Plans
Active development is not planned to resume, but the code will remain available and I will be aiming to keep it hosted for preview.
If any interest at all comes about for the project, will consider introducing all around documentation and opening it up for people to create missions and make them part of the main codebase which would be quite interesting if the mission system is advanced.
Playing a mission can look something like this



With a relatively complete, as far as current features, mission editor available within the game itself.
