Wow, amazing stuff. I love Lua, it was how I learned programming as a kid. Coincidently from the same world as the author. Open Tibia. The author made a custom client (https://github.com/edubart/otclient) for the game that is still very much in active use by thousands of players. He's a very skilled developer. Great to see AOT compiled Lua, I know of the other solutions: Luau (from Roblox), Teal, TypeScriptToLua, Terra, etc., but this one is my favorite so far. Love the simple compilation to C (and WASM support via Emscripten). Though Terra's JIT is enticing and good replacement for LuaJIT, this is for embedded systems, it's a good replacement for Lua PUC-Rio.

One of the most addictive games How do I know? I've been playing it for 15 years and I still have PACC (prem) account, but it's relatively young character (00:10 Your Distance Fighting skill changed from level 126 (with 21.52% progress towards level 127) to level 126 (with 21.98% progress towards level 127)) Developers are greediest fucks I've ever seen. It's insane that game this old can be this profitable - just google "tibia income" and go to graphics Most people play this game in "grind-style" nowadays, so basically team-hunt everyday for 1? 2? 3? hours (idk what are optimal strats nowadays), get levels and cash, do bosses, yada yada. _________ but this game has impressive OSS community https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver https://github.com/edubart/otclient and more they basically recreated tibia game client & server people were

playing on private servers with real clients and nowadays as I see custom private servers use custom clients that are impressive as hell imo. I've had a lot of fun debugging those C++/Lua game mechanics when trying to create my own server but since its time consuming to create nice game play then I gave up ______________ This is the game where you could be DDoSd if you joined somebody's team speak/ventrilo/etc This game fought and probably still fights bots. They improved shitton by using BattleEye. They fought against DDoSes against their servers hard too, I remember when they used iirc Prolexic and it didn't work well Fun thing: IIRC Tibia's game company rewrote their C++ client in something that worked in web browser, but afaik they eventually killed it. I do wonder whether they'll try again with WebAseembly >The Tibia Flash client will also be discontinued tomorrow. https://www.tibia.com/news/?subtopic=newsarchive&id=4358 I heard that in early days of Tibia you could buy premium account via letter to Cipsoft's "HQ"
