Comment on With New Year's a couple days away what selfhoted party games do people have going?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI don’t think that is self hosting because I think that the game actually runs on their servers and your deck is just a client. But maybe it actually runs on the deck and the server is just for connecting the clients? 🤔

It’s definitely not self hosted. Regardless of where the server is running, you have to connect to it using jackbox.tv and I don’t know of any way to play the games without that.

I’m curious if there’s a desire for a self-hosted jackbox style game that just runs an nginx server in the background people can connect to or something or if thats something like 20 people would actually use.

I’d probably use it, so that’s one person at least. Could be a fun reverse engineering project, too.
