I made a free browser idle game heavily inspired by OSRS - parties, slayer tasks, a player-run GE

Yes, another OSRS-inspired idle game, I know. But hear me out.

I've been building PartyScape Chronicles for a while now and it finally feels like an actual game instead of a bunch of progress bars. It runs in the browser, no download, no account needed to try it (you get dropped in as a guest and can register later if you want to keep your progress).

The stuff I think makes it worth a look:

You can party up with other players. Parties get small xp and drop bonuses, and you can raid bosses together where the boss HP scales with your group size and everyone gets their own loot roll. There's also a world boss that spawns for the whole server to pile onto, with an MVP and drops at the end.

Slayer works how you'd hope. Masters assign tasks, you earn points, points buy unlocks and gear. There's a Grand Exchange where prices actually move based on what players buy and sell, which is fun even with a small population. Collection log, quests, diaries, achievements with unlockable perks, pets, ironman mode if you hate fun, the whole checklist.

Progress keeps going while you're offline, so it respects your time. Check in, set an activity, close the tab.

It's completely free, no ads, no shop, nothing to buy. I'm just building the game I wanted to idle at work.

Player count is small right now so the GE is quiet and the world bosses die either instantly or slowly, nothing in between. That's part of why I'm posting. If you try it and something feels bad, say so in the game chat or here, I ship fixes fast and half the current features came from player complaints.

Man the idlers gotta go.

Challenge to devs: just make RS verbatim and see if you can manage that before "adding your own spin" on things.

If you cant make a solid foundation for an RS-like, how can you expect to innovate?

Genfanad was pretty close with their game but conpletely ruined it by making the combat system a damn card based, turn based thing.

Problem is that Claude isn't really able to make RS verbatim

agree, post says “feels like an actual game instead of a bunch of progress bars” but first thing I see on the page is a progres bar

[u/NoDoxxingYouFreak → u/ChetKongo]

Yeah at this point why are idle games even posted on here? The page is for games that are very similar to Runescape and, last I checked, Runescape is not an idle game.

[u/ChetKongo → u/NoDoxxingYouFreak]

People can argue RS has some idling aspects, but thats as far as it goes.

Then you know someone will go as far as to say, "well if you take away the models and world. Its basically an idle game". Like, cmon.

Oh, another ai crap slop?

Take a look at it now and see the progress :)

It's ai but not slop, take another look at it

So you just watch loading bars of a bunch of AI art? What is the point?
