Homegames is an open-source game platform

Play, make and share games for free

Developer Studio

Homegames Studio with a file tree, code editor, and live game preview

Your games, on your device. Start from a template or try a small interactive example.

  • Make games in your browser with a simple code editor
  • Live game preview lets you test your changes with live multiplayer sessions
  • Manage game assets right from the studio. Upload your own files or draw/record something in the studio.
  • Save projects in your browser. Download a game pack to back up, share or restore in Studio.

Host It Yourself

Run Homegames on a machine in your house. Download, extract, and launch — Node, Git, and Docker are not required. Supports Windows x64, macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel), and Linux x64. Everyone on your network plays in their browser.

Open Source

  • Open source. Homegames-authored components use GPL or MIT; keep the license and attribution notices supplied with each game and dependency.
  • Self-host on your own hardware. Homegames was designed to be self-hostable, including the API. See the self-hosting guide.
  • Preservation. If this website gets hit by a bus, your games can live on.

Homegames has been in development as a (mostly) solo side project since 2018. Explore the project history →
