About Derpy World

A little multiplayer world that doesn't take itself too seriously

What is Derpy World?

Derpy World is a browser-based multiplayer game where you walk around as a deliberately derpy pixel art character, bump into other players, and chat via proximity-based speech bubbles. There are no quests to grind, no levels to chase — just a chill world to hang out in with whoever else happens to be around.

Explore taverns, parks, beaches, volcanoes, frozen mountains, and underwater domes. Play minigames, go fishing, throw snowballs, collect crystals, or just sit on a bench and watch the world go by.

Philosophy

The idea is simple: create a low-pressure social space on the web. No downloads, no sign-ups required, no pay-to-win. Just pick a character, choose a name, and you're in.

  • Simple social fun — the game is a backdrop for hanging out
  • Deliberately imperfect — the derpy aesthetic is the point
  • Proximity chat — conversations happen naturally, not in a global feed
  • Always something to discover — biomes, secrets, activities

World Editor

The entire game world is built with a custom Electron-based world editor. It supports tile painting, object placement, building interior editing, multi-select, copy/paste, and undo/redo. Every tavern, park, and volcano was hand-crafted tile by tile.
