Shout-out to the dearly departed theclub.zone, which did this with a bit more panache (as well as a punishingly difficult secret platformer puzzle).

But imho, the truest club experience is the short game SLAVE OF GOD by Increpare:

I love silly stuff like this and can only hope that with AI we see more of it. Enjoyed dropping in and the beats were fire.

I think allowing jumping would add a lot. looking over the top of a whole crowd would be more visually dynamic.

Fun idea! I was surprised that it loaded on mobile and UI was kinda reasonable but I could tap any buttons to move or do anything. I’ll look into sending a PR for fixing that.

Reminds me of the minecraft based raves during the pandemic.

I like it! but without ability to execute own dance moves, not really dancing... Tried with keyboard but it didn't work.. Now imagining infrared webcam thing and some DIY stick on reflective things.. set up your own rave cave, attach sensors, dance, your virtual self mirrors... now you're raving

And it was immediately fouled by racism.

Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.

This is really cool!

Rave chat was working fine until I wrote "I think rust is overrated" and I can no longer see my or anyone else's messages. Yes, really.

The people who worked on the metaverse must be jealous

hnusertoday at 5:10 AM

usernames would be cool chat too

Looks like you have a serious moderation problem, there are racists running around using n-word racist slurs

Trees are dying because of this game. The epa should go after these folks for all their money.
