Self-Hosted Game Servers

**MapleClaw** is a multiplayer browser-based MMORPG that lets players cooperate through raids, PvP, and trading across 5 classes with job advancement—solving the gap between single-player web games and persistent multiplayer worlds. Built with Node.js + WebSocket for real-time sync, better-sqlite3 for authority, and vanilla JS canvas, it handles concurrent players with server-authoritative validation and 10-second keep-alive heartbeats. Deployed live on VPS with 100+ hours of content and game systems including world events, mini-games, and GM tooling.
