I am an indie developer currently working on a low-tech (PHP/Javascript) browser-based MMORPG and a slew of JavaME games for mobile phones.
The kaiju! browser game has been reopened, the base code has been (partially) reorganized, and it's now running smooth as butter on the AppFog server...
The kaiju! open alpha is now live! View the rest of this article for a brief summary of new features and where to point your browser to join the fun.
The Whisper command has been implemented, allowing characters to communicate privately. Also, the underlying skills structure has been overhauled.
New user interface features have been added, and the Construction skill will allow players to use Blueprints to create their own structures.

A 2-level demonstration of the puzzle engine is available.
