The marketing landing page and single-player browser RPG for Afterlife Online, a science fantasy game set in the world of Caelor.

Tech Stack

• Game Engine: Phaser 3
• Language: TypeScript
• Build Tool: Snowpack
• Hosting: Cloudflare Pages

Local Development

Requires Node.js 16.x (Snowpack is not compatible with newer versions).

nvm use 16
npm install
npm run dev

The dev server runs at http://localhost:8000 by default.

Building

nvm use 16
npm run build

Build output goes to _build/. The site is entirely static -- no server-side logic.

Deployment

Hosted on Cloudflare Pages at afterlife-online.com. The GitHub repo is connected to Cloudflare Pages -- pushing to master triggers an automatic build and deploy.

Build environment: NODE_VERSION=16 (set in Cloudflare Pages settings).

The Express server in server.js is a legacy artifact from when this was hosted on Heroku. It is not used in production.
