I'm not a game dev, I'm a web dev. I've never made anything more complicated game-wise than 2d fishing animation games

Well... At least the dev is honest about it being just for fun... I'll give it 2 months before it's a dead project. There is literally no way someone that has zero gamedev experience can remake a multi-million dollar game.

I wouldn't say in the works, this is one person who's a web developer posting on Reddit about an idea. In the works usually tells me they're already working on the project, not trying to find people to help start it. GL to them I guess.

I love it already.

"It's just a moba, how hard can it be?"

Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it's just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don't harass them about not doing things fast or well enough... Don't really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.

So now somebody can explain exactly how a child told me he fucked my mom

There are a lot of open-source game projects that have started over the years. Some have turned into fully-completed games, but they are very few. And those generally are not asset-heavy, which I suspect a League of Legends-style game will be.

This could make it, but I wouldn't be placing money on it.

I think if I were gonna try and do that, I'd aim for making the game playable with what amounts to just about placeholder assets.

The engine side is the easier part. You've got a number of people who have done engine reimplementations of a number of commercial games that can play the original game using the original game's assets. But getting a game with original assets is hard.

It sounds cool but LoL wasn't the only MOBA working on Linux.

I wonder if there are game devs out there willing to work on this in their free time. What I find good about this dude is that it's for fun and he has 8+ years of actual software development experience. It's not somebody completely removed from software development who just doesn't like Rito.

Let's see how far this gets! If it becomes big, it would be the first successful MOBA written in Godot!
