The Play Center

No servers

What is the play center?

Most of the games we track you launch somewhere else — from Steam, from your own library, from a shortcut on your desktop. This page is for the ones you don’t.

Playable in this browser

The game ships a web build we host the loader for. Press play and it opens right here, on this page, with nothing to install. If you picked a server it connects you to it.

Handed to the TMC app

The game isn’t a web build, but it is properly wired into our desktop app — so we can hand it the game, the server and your launch options and it takes it from there. That is different from an ordinary connect link, which only knows an address.

Why isn’t my game here?

Because it isn’t launchable through the official TMC app or through your web browser. Those are the only two ways anything starts from this page, so a game we can do neither for lives on its own page and in the server browser instead.

Your avatar comes with you

The figure at the top of this page is yours. Dress it here or in the app; games that support it load you in wearing it. The assets are open source and the service is self-hostable — this instance is the official one.

Open source

Our gaming platform is built on Godot, and all of it is open source

Every game, server and avatar above runs on the Dot series — The Modding Community's own collection of Godot 4 assets. Around fifty engine addons, a launcher, a server tool and the reference games that run them, all of it public and all of it free to take. Build something with it, stand a server up, and it turns up on this page beside everything else.

Anybody can spin up a server

The server tool stands a dedicated Dot server up on a box you control, points it at us, and from there it is listed here on its own — live players, map, the lot. There is nothing to apply for and nobody to ask.

How to host one

Build with the Dot series

Accounts, avatars, content delivery, netcode, dedicated servers, timers and leaderboards — the parts of a game platform that are not engine features, as addons that sit on top of stock Godot. Use the whole set or one piece of it.

Start building

This is all in very, very early development

Everything launchable from this page — the games, the addons under them, the server tool and the avatar — is a work in progress with plenty still broken. Expect crashes, empty servers, missing pieces and features that are half-finished. There are a lot of known issues and a long way to go.

Which is exactly why help is appreciated. Run a server and list it here, file what you find, or work on the platform itself — the engine addons, the games and the tooling are all open source. Start with the TMC Dot developer guide, or read the source on GitHub.
