I Tried Making a 3D RPG Game in JavaScript

Follow me on:
Twitter: / iced_coffee_dev
Github: github.com/simondevyoutube/
Here I tried making a 3d RPG game, completely from scratch in JavaScript/Three.js. I took some code from previous tutorials, such as player controllers and third person cameras, bolted on a few free assets like Quaternius's models, and added some gameplay. The code could serve as a nice jumping off point for someone looking to make their own little browser rpg.
Basically, I tried to code up the skeleton of your basic rpg in a couple days, using just JavaScript. All the elements, player stats, quests, inventory, enemies and AI are all there, in various stages. There's a lot of improvements you could make here of course, adding more weaponry and items, magical powers and skills, bigger and badder enemies. But this will hopefully help you to understand how to use Three.js to get started on this type of project. Making the basic bones of a 3d rpg game isn't too difficult.
What I'll cover:
* Getting a basic 3d world up and running.
* Replicating a basic version of Unity's GameObject architecture.
* Adding third person movement and a third person camera.
* Adding HTML ui elements such as icons, inventory, stats, quests.
* Enemy AI
Like always, full source is available, just check the github repo. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it.

Quaternius has a lot of free 3d model assets on their site, check them out!

And even more free animated models at Mixamo.

[@musikSkool]

I find an important part of games that is often overlooked is the richness of the textures/fonts in the menus. If you can make the process of equipping items give you dopamine, just from seeing the very attractive sword go in the very attractive socket. Or the buttons that add stats need to be satisfying to press, lighting up and having really rich and vivid sparkles or something. Though I really like the idea of making the weapon you have equipped when you level up determine where your stats go. So the magic wands give you 8 int and 1 wis and 1 agility, but the staffs give you 8 int, 1 wis, and every other level 1 more wis or 1 more agility. And the sword gives you a little more agility than the axe, but the axe gives you more con and less agility. Oh, and the style of armor you are wearing during level up gives you either con or mana. The heaviest gives the most constitution, the lightest gives the most mana, archery stuff is about even, with a little agility. Rogue armor gives less con, less mana, but a lot more agility.

[@simondev758]

Awesome, I used to do C++ game dev, and the code should translate easily since I still write like a C++ programmer.

[@rrestoring_faith]

I'd recommend something like C++ OpenGL to get more knowledge of the inner workings of an Engine (openGL for graphics related work). You'll really be spending more time with familiarizing yourself with how to use the engine itself rather than understanding how it really works from the inside out. It would be much more difficult though. I just don't think if the purpose is to understand the engine, you might get more from doing closer to what they do rather than using their abstract work. That is, if you really don't know how it works. Unless maybe you are reading a lot of their docs. Unity for example has some good info on its life cycle that can be helpful. So read docs & articles on it!

I don't really think starting with writing a game/game-engine in javascript is an ideal starting point to be really honest.

this is already a perfect game to launch in the play store for free and fill with paid items

You're a different breed of Javascript dev

thx!

Love how the thumbnail is nice looking graphics and the actual gameplay is in paint.

No worse than most mobile game ads

This has potential, I always wanted to at least understand how a game is made but mostly know JS. I think I'll be checking this out.

[@Somethingwronghere]

It's amazing. Please be honest with me: how long did it take? So that I know whether I should start doing the same

[@simondev758]

A few days, but keep in mind a few things: I already wrote a few things in previous tutorials. I've had over a decade of professional game dev experience.

@@simondev758 I want to learn javascript but it looks scary is it that hard ?

[@SERBIANUGANDANKNUCKLES]

@@progamerbufovi tbh people say its not.. i learing it for a about hmm 40+ days and tbh i know just a little very very little.. i was learing html and ccs 1st then trying to implement more of java script but maybe i am just stupid idk.. i can do simple tasks but it looks more like copying codes from intrenet then actually wrote them by myself.. but anyway i need to learn it anyway becouse its requirement for React.. and react is required for my job soo. yeah.. i dont like learning it at all for me its not fun at all.. i like html i know its not programming language but idk i just dont like javascript and learning it just becouse i must.. becouse i need it to learn React.. that is just my path and all of that becouse of job but in my freee time i like to do games in unreal engine becous its easier and niceer.. looks better idk...

@@SERBIANUGANDANKNUCKLES thx cause I am learning python and it looks more simple to me

[@danielecortesi77]

@@progamerbufovi javascript and python are quite similar, syntax aside. The problem with javascript is that it has so many subtle pitfalls that imo makes it possibly the worst language out there, especially for beginners that are going to look things up on google but are not able to tell if the code they find is good or not. I think you'll be better off learning python first, then maybe some Java or C# to look into a slightly different way of coding. Javascript is not harder than any of these languages, but you have to be more careful and look up the latest best practices. If you get to know python well, switching to javascript will be a no brainer if you need to.
