#12For anyone who wants to play, Airmash lives on at https://airmash.online and https://starma.sh It's been a great community effort in keeping it alive, thank you to everyone who has contributed!
Nice seeing this here! Also: https://starma.sh for the Starmash version :)
Hey Bombita, thanks for the reminder, edited my comment :)
Re: Airmash – a game that refused to die
#13Since Airmash was released on HN, this is as good as any place to put out a message for the original developer -- we love your work! Is there any chance we could continue it more officially in your stead?
There have been a ton of ideas floating around in-game since almost forever. I think by now most of them appear at https://github.com/airmash-refugees/game-ideas/issues .
The biggest issue is that no free frontend exists, and even if it did, some aspects of reimplementing both backend and frontend have interesting problems, such as in the functions to calculate trajectories and the data they use. There is no way to replicate the original Airmash without preserving almost exactly this code. It would be amazing to receive your blessing at least to borrow these aspects.

#14I assumed the game’s author got a contract and was busy working on a new game. That he was never heard from again makes me sad. I truly hope he lives a happy life. If you read this: Thank you for this great game!

Ghettobird here. Hello!
Re: Airmash – a game that refused to die
#19Oh, Airmash, fun as ever. It was our go-to office game for months after initial HN release. When it disappeared, I ended up switching to surviv.io (another thing I think was announced on HN). Now with Airmash back, I don't know what to play anymore :(.
