Hey r/reactnative,

I'd like to share a project I've been working on for quite a while now: a GPS-based MMORPG made completely in React Native. The road was far from smooth, but the game is in a polished enough state to test out today.

I believe this is a good showcase of what can (but not necessary should) be done in React Native. You can give it a try below:

Hey everyone!

I’m running an open beta test for Layer2, a GPS-based MMORPG that I’ve been working on for a while now.

The concept is rather simple: a GPS game with bite-sized interactivity that doesn’t require you to be glued on your phone while you’re walking. Anytime a resource, monster, or NPC appears nearby, you will get a nudge, and each interaction won’t take more than a few seconds. Everything happens right on the map with no instancing.

The beta currently focuses on core parts of the game, and while I’m not 100% satisfied with the overall balance, I feel like it’s in a decent spot to start testing and steer things in the right direction.

A few things you can expect from the beta:

• Four holy trinity classes (Warrior, Archer, Rogue, Priest)
• Party play
• In-world structure building
• Leaderboards
• Most of the content you’d expect from an MMO, such as crafting, enhancing your gear, quests, and more.

If you’ve played Orna or Parallel Kingdom before, Layer2 may (eventually) be of interest to you. You can try it out below, and if you have any feedback or questions, please join the Discord server and share it!
