Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.

JSON Canvas – An open file format for infinite canvas data
The canvas in Obsidian is as the whole app very well made. I wondered what they are using as well. My guess is https://www.xyflow.com/, which is for drawing nodes. More general purpose would be http://fabricjs.com/. Or very low level https://pixijs.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

My thought on different engines
For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
Ask HN: Possible to make a game engine in the browser?
Https://openarena.live/ There's also a bunch of Javascript game engines: https://github.com/collections/javascript-game-engines Or PixiJS for 2D: https://pixijs.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Rebuilding Isometric World
That approach works well for what I was trying to archive but I am planning on adding more functionality into the website. Hence in this article, let me rebuild the project using Pixi.js and it’s React binding, React Pixi. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
