World of Duchame

Project intro

World of Duchame is a browser 3D RPG built from the author's real 1988 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons binder: 68 hand-inked settlements turned into a full campaign. The newest addition, The Dark Tide, flips the whole game — you play one of 21 Ill peoples (orcs, vampires, liches…) climbing out of Hell. 249 plain-JavaScript modules, three.js for the 3D world, every sound, song and model generated procedurally at runtime — no audio or model files ship with the game. Author Michael Wickerson's devlog is explicit about the process: "I built it with Claude Code as my pair programmer. I set the direction and the rules… Claude wrote the code and an automated test for each system against those rules. The project has more than three hundred test scripts." The Dark Tide's six phases went from first commit to release on 8 October 2026. Plays in the browser, no install, no account, no server. Updated 2026-10-19.
