Voidfall

Voidfall is a 3D multiplayer space dogfight game that runs in the browser. Jump<br>into an arena, chase down other pilots, and blast them out of the void. The<br>project doubles as a study in real-time netcode for fast-paced multiplayer<br>shooters.

🌟 If you find this project interesting, please consider giving it a star — it<br>helps others discover it too!

🎮 Play it now at nickvanurk.com/voidfall —<br>also coming soon to CrazyGames.

😊 Why?

I've always been fascinated by how fast-paced multiplayer games stay responsive<br>while every player sees a consistent world. Space shooters are the perfect<br>playground for that problem: fast ships, projectiles, and split-second aiming<br>leave nowhere to hide a laggy netcode. Voidfall started as my sandbox for<br>digging into that architecture, and it grew into a game I actually want to ship.

🧪 What's Included

Real-time multiplayer dogfights over WebSockets

Full 3D space flight with keyboard and mouse controls

Weapons, projectiles, and aim assist

Health, damage, ship destruction, and respawning

Asteroid fields to weave through

A HUD with a targeting reticle and on-screen indicators

Server-authoritative worlds that scale to many concurrent players

The heart of this project is the netcode. The server owns the simulation and<br>broadcasts world state to every client, keeping all players in sync and cheating<br>in check. The ongoing focus is tightening that loop toward the responsiveness of<br>AAA multiplayer shooters — prediction, interpolation, and a game that still<br>feels good at 300ms of latency.

🚀 Technologies Used

TypeScript

Three.js

Rapier (physics)

ws (WebSockets)

Express

Vite

Node.js

🛠️ Installation

To run Voidfall locally, execute the following commands in your terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/nickyvanurk/voidfall<br>$ cd voidfall<br>$ npm install

Then start the game server and the web client in two separate terminals:

$ npm run server:start:dev # game server on port 1337<br>$ npm run client:start:dev # web client on port 3000

If everything went well the game will be available at http://localhost:3000
