Gorescript: 60-FPS Retro first-person shooter, written in JavaScript using three.js

Gorescript is a browser-based throwback FPS written in JavaScript using three.js. The MIT-licensed project’s stated goal is to create a Doom-like game from scratch, complete with its own asset toolchain.

The game itself loads up extremely quickly, most likely due to not needing to load massive amounts of textures on account of its retro-stylization. It includes a 2.5 map editor along with a voxel-editor for monsters, meshes and powerups.

It takes advantage of browser’s support for pointer-lock to give a full FPS experience.
