In their own words
TrueMetaverse
TrueMetaverse is a free, MIT-licensed, self-hosted realtime 2D world for studying, meetings, presentations, games, and shared online time. Users create or join pixel-art spaces with realtime presence, grid movement, collision-aware maps, and short room codes. Five maps are included, along with a server-controlled Hide & Seek mode for 3–12 players per room. Shared activities use LiveKit audio and video rooms, screen sharing, and a synchronized Excalidraw whiteboard controlled by its creator. Study sessions provide persistent timers and daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards. The product runs in a browser, with keyboard controls on desktop and joystick and zoom controls on touch devices. Docker deployment can place the frontend, APIs, realtime server, database, media services, TLS, and TURN on one VPS. The README describes JWT authentication, salted scrypt password hashing, per-IP failed-login limits, and server-side validation. Restarting the single WebSocket process clears room, whiteboard, and active game state.
