Become a sponsor to Eric McDaniel
I'm Eric, a developer from North Carolina.
When I was younger, I booted up my dad's Windows 98 computer and stumbled across a game called Subspace: Continuum – a multiplayer, 2d asteroids clone with an extremely dedicated community and rich multiplayer features.
I became fascinated with multiplayer video games. Most games I would end up playing had a social aspect: Neverwinter Nights, Counter-Strike, EVE Online, WoW, Dark Souls. I've spent many hours of my life connecting with people through gaming.
Browsers now have the features to enable development of ambitious multiplayer games. I want to build JavaScript tools that anyone (myself included) can use to build responsive and performant multiplayer games without learning C, C++, WebAssembly, or low-level network protocols.
In particular, I'm building a library called Javelin which provides a performant, predictable, and testable structure for games, with optional server and networking utilities.
Although I plan on working on Javelin for the foreseeable future, a sponsorship is a great way to help motivate me.
Reaching five sponsors will demonstrate community interest, encouraging me to consistently improve Javelin.
