There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

I wouldn't say in the works, this is one person who's a web developer posting on Reddit about an idea. In the works usually tells me they're already working on the project, not trying to find people to help start it. GL to them I guess.

Reddit? Or the project's page?

Sounds like reddit. They started banning blocks of VPN IPs after they locked down their API (presumably to prevent screen scraping). If you really want to visit, proton stealth protocol is able to get through sometimes, and old.reddit seems to get through all of the time.

Reddit. It’s dead to me now because of this.

"It's just a moba, how hard can it be?"

Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it's just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don't harass them about not doing things fast or well enough... Don't really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.

TOP OR BIG SITUATION

It sounds cool but LoL wasn't the only MOBA working on Linux.

I wonder if there are game devs out there willing to work on this in their free time. What I find good about this dude is that it's for fun and he has 8+ years of actual software development experience. It's not somebody completely removed from software development who just doesn't like Rito.

Let's see how far this gets! If it becomes big, it would be the first successful MOBA written in Godot!
