Hi Everyone,
I’m the lead developer of the Saito project and long-time Vassal user, and wanted to drop a line to share news of what I’ve been working on with in-browser gaming with Saito. Essentially, Saito is a boardgame system inspired by Vassal that is designed to run directly in people’s browsers. All of the code is on Github. You can check out the games online (apps.saito.network/arcade)
I’ve been following Vassal’s lead in terms of organizing game modules, and hoping we’ll have the chance to contribute back too — I’m hoping to put together a version of TI4, for instance. And once we have an implementation of gameplay logic coded in javascript, it should be pretty easy to port the games back to VASSAL.
Anyway, I hope you guys like what we are doing. Long-term, and especially once we get things like payment channels setup so that games can handle things like staking in bitcoin / ethereum, I think there will be a lot of fun things we can do to integrate with Vassal to offer things like paid games, decentralized leaderboards. Anyway, please come and check us out. VASSAL has always been a fantastic community and thoughts and advice are very welcome from everyone involved.
