I'm working on my vehicle building game https://mechacraft.io that I recently released on CrazyGames (my first released game!). It currently sits around 60 CCU which isn't great so I'm polishing/reworking things to see if I can increase it in the next few months. I'm also still looking for a rev share partner that can handle the visual side of things something along the lines of a technical / 3D artist.

Try adding more helium! And thanks, I would really like to explore pvp battles like they had in Robocraft at some point. Battling each other with your own creations seems very interesting.

Been slowly chipping away at my browser mmo game https://everwilds.io. I've always been curious about MMO software/netcode architecture thanks to playing Guild Wars (the original) in my youth. It's the reason I became a programmer, I wanted to learn how to make those kind of games. For those interested in following the progress I made a discord channel: https://discord.gg/b3REbeavaT
After I made a small MMO prototype over at https://everwilds.io/ (open-source) I am now working on a vehicle building prototype at https://evergate.io/, if you're interested in following the progress there's a Discord link at the top right corner of each website. Mainly focused on Evergate right now :))
To replicate that feel is pretty much the point of this project.
There is a GitHub link in the top-right corner :) I am currently busy building out a game platform over at https://evergate.io/ so this project is on hold for now, so I made it open-source. And I know about Hordes, it's great! It's one of the reasons I am trying to do something a bit different over at https://evergate.io/ instead of making what would basically turn into a Hordes clone.

VSCode, TypeScript, Three.js. But I am about to remove Three.js and use WebGPU instead, I don't like the 800kb+ size of Three.js. Also will do some experimenting with C++ and WebAssembly and see how that goes.
I've been inspired to build my own browser mmo game after seeing hordes.io, which is made by a single person. Launched a prototype with, for now, only basic movement over at http://everwilds.io. Instead of working in a silo I've decided to develop in public and launched as soon as possible to slowly gather an audience. So far the Everwilds.io Discord server already gained 1 member ;) I'll share the link incase others want to follow the development: https://discord.gg/HWZSpkvz

I'm a graphics engineer passionate about rendering, computational geometry, game engines, and optimization. I love working on projects that involve building high-performance graphics engines, whether it's for games, GIS, CAD, or digital twins.
Some things I’ve worked on:
* Built my own 8-bit computer from scratch: https://nickvanurk.com/8bit.mp4
* Three.js experiments: https://nickvanurk.com/capping/, https://nickvanurk.com/void/, https://nickvanurk.com/prototype/
* Currently working on a 2D vector-graphics renderer to explore WebGPU
I’m especially interested in roles focused on vector-graphics rendering, GIS/CAD visualization, or anything that involves making complex graphics systems faster and more efficient. Always excited to learn and tackle new challenges—feel free to reach out!
