Official Everybody Edits Forums

I commented in the past about the risks of developing an EE-like game in a language like C++, especially given this community history with hacking incidents.
This project is however different: I don't believe Krock has picked C++ just because it seemed like a cool programming language to make a game in, but because he has many years of experience with this language. Krock is an important contributor of another open-source multiplayer 3D game named Luanti (formerly Minetest) which is similar to Minecraft.
Krock's experience with C++ is a greencard for this project's security.

OpenEdits is more than just a simple name for another EE remake, it is also a concise summary of what this project stands for. Not only this project has an open-source license, but also anyone will be able to add functionality to it using Lua (think of Roblox experiences). This means, in the future, if you want to have an interesting action block you might be able to ask ChatGPT to code it for you, and you'll be able to add it to your worlds in this game.

If you don't know how to enter IRC, you can use this web-client, to connect and chat. #nimg_lobby is a beautiful community, especially for the technical-inclined.

If you're a developer, that wants to starting working on an open-source project, this could be a very nice pick.

This is not a project thats just another attempt from the same group that has disappointed before and kept players stuck in a loop of failed promises. This is a true alternative.

Good luck Krock! Good luck OpenEdits! <3

N1KF, I believe you're asking about this due to the incident caused by OVH (our service provider), which led to the temporary unavailability of the game.

I apologise for not updating the situation on this forum.

We restored functionality within 72 hours of the incident by using a relatively recent backup (3 days old by the time the incident occurred), though this could have been done even sooner if I hadn’t initially hoped OVH would address the situation more quickly. A week later, the data hosted on OVH became available again, allowing us to merge the data and fully restore all progress related to campaign progression and world building.

Regarding performance, the differences should theoretically be negligible. However, we are aware of certain quirks with Firefox, particularly on Linux-based operating systems, caused by the browser not accessing hardware acceleration features, and we're committed to addressing these issues in upcoming updates. Right now, I can only recommend you to use an updated Safari or a Chromium-based browser like: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, DuckDuckGo Browser.

Currently, the project development is on hold. However, I have communicated my availability to assist Josh, the maintainer of EEOffline, in developing a better file format to support all EE-like games. Additionally, I’ve offered to help PixelWalker’s team create a tool for porting worlds from Escapade to PixelWalker.

I assure you, Escapade is highly unlikely to close in 2025, as it remains the only multiplayer web client that enables the community to re-experience campaign levels with physics closest to the original EE. PixelWalker has taken a different approach.

Regarding popularity, I’m not entirely sure how the two projects compare in terms of monthly active users, but I don’t believe the difference is significant. From what I’ve observed, Escapade is the preferred choice for many members of the community, primarily due to the availability of campaign content.

I hope this answers your concerns.

🎉 Nostalgia Building Competition Results 🎉

The time has come to announce the winners of the Nostalgia Building Competition! We had amazing builds which were all very appreciated by the jurors.

Am apreciat de la inceput demersul tau de a unifica comunitatea romaneasca din EE. Ai inceput acest proiect in urma cu multi ani si cred ca marea majoritate a persoanelor care si-au dorit sa intre in comunitatea pe care ai creat-o pe Discord au facut-o deja.
Aceasta postare, dar mai ales faptul ca ai inceput sa publici lumi cu titluri in romana in alternativele EE (Escapade si PW) ajuta sa ne identificam, noi romanii, reciproc. Eu nu stiu ce poti sa faci mai mult decat ceea ce faci deja.

Apreciez, de asemenea, decizia lui Tomahawk de a permite acest topic de discutie, dar ea vine in fond pe lipsa unui interes de a mai modera discutiile de pe acest forum.

Thank you! The physics engine in Escapade was written from the grounds up with the goal of preserving a similar game-play experience to EE. We had a few bugs of our own along the way, but with the help of community feedback we quickly identified and patched them. Ott was the MVP in this aspect! <3

One important mechanic feature Escapade has is the no-delay auto-jump. (We might make this an opt-in feature depending on what the community prefers).
I recommend this world (https://escapade.fun/world/k7HGKbwFnbVr) if you want to see how fun that is!

Also, here is a world that comprises most of the known EE gimmicks to make an even better idea of how close Escapade's physics are to EE.

Indeed! Escapade is now open for trial at https://escapade.fun

Regarding this community's hacking capabilities a internet facing C++ client would be quite worrying, wouldn't it?
Unlike modern programming languages, C++ has weak memory protection, which could in a worst case scenario lead to remote code execution.
Also there is the possibility of a vulnerable supply chain of client updates, which exploited could compromise users computers completely unlike the browser containerized Flash and or JS.

Non-tech talk: If this client would have a security issue similar to EE, not only your EE passwords would be stolen, but all passwords stored on your PC.

Happy Easter Xenonetix!

1. Do you miss the EE community?

2. Satanya cut us from all kind of updates about the next EE Relaunch ([EE! Status] Stage: Silence).
It was also uncovered that we have no certainty on who is working on this project if anyone (1 2 3 4 5).
Do you believe that Satanya's decision to keep us in the dark until the game is fully developed and released a good idea?
Do you believe that Satanya would eventually release a game?
Do you believe it would had been wiser not to transfer the ownership as EEU would had been functioning by now under your management?

Sorry?

are you willing to share why you also think a babysitter claim would help the town, please?
