Late last year I have built the back-end for a very slick online game called MegaMythen. In this game you can play with the ancient Greek Gods and travel up mount Olympus. This game has launched today and it looks even better than I had imagined. The gameplay is very intuitive and smooth. I urge you to check it out even if you don’t play games at all: www.megamythen.nl.

The back-end is completely Rails of course and has a very small footprint. Just 8 controllers including all boilerplate code. The game uses this back-end via JSON and the admins can customize almost every aspect of the game, including in-game dialogs and images. Both myself and Daniël van Gils, the game developer, worked in Git and this has been a godsend.
