What is lurkers.io?
I’m making lurkers the game I’ve always wanted to play: lurkers.io is a free multiplayer easily accessible browser game where you can do just about anything. It encourages a healthy and open community of players and creators.
What can you do in lurkers.io?
So far you can:
- Play the official gamemodes such as:
- zombie survival (survive a zombie apocalypse as long as you can.)
- bedwars (destroy the enemy teams bed to win.)
- survival (open world survival free for all game. Form teams with your friends.)
- sandbox (open world sandbox mode, get access to all items and blocks in the game for free.)
- team deathmatch (destroy the enemy team and reach the target number of kills before the enemy.)
- Enjoy community created content, gamemodes and servers.
Influences
The sandbox experience of Minecraft and Terraria. The community ecosystem of Roblox. The 2D charm of King Arthur's Gold. The modding of Garry's Mod. The economy and vastness of Runescape.
The future of lurkers.io
- Cross-platform (browser only for now, premium users can download the desktop client. Later Steam and mobile devices)
- User generated content (custom skins, gamemodes, servers and more)
- Developing new and fun features and gamemodes, including:
- Expanding on the survival experience with forming factions, waging wars, adding biomes and much more.
- Adding a fantasy gamemode where you can play as Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Orcs.
- Torches and shadows / darkness - explore scary dark caves, and light up your base at night.
- Water - oceans, flooding, possibly interaction with fire / lava
- Mechanics and contraptions - levers, circuits, traps, automation
Subject to change at any time, these are just rough plans.
Is the game open-source?
The game is not open-source at the moment. May change at some point later, let me know on Discord if you have strong opinions about this.
