Godot Tiny MMO

A tiny web-based MMO / MMORPG demo developed with Godot Engine 4.x - 4.3,
created without relying on the built-in multiplayer nodes.

This project contains both client and server within the same codebase.
Using custom export presets, you can easily Export Client and Server builds separately.
This keeps exports safe and optimized by excluding unnecessary components.

For additional details, check out the Wiki.
