What it is
Hub visitors still see the Shooting Range card and URL, but the original range was rebuilt in production as Deadlight on September 5, 2026. It now sends squads of one to eight players through four cooperative first-person operations.
The Kiln and Salt Flats are timed target missions, The Breach is a defensive hold against approaching creatures, and Ashfall is a town crossing where every connected squad member must reach extraction.
The squad leader chooses a shared Raven MK18 rifle, Vesper .45 pistol, Longwatch M7 rifle, or Breach-8 shotgun and sets Recruit, Standard, or Nightmare difficulty. The Node and ws server owns positions, health, ammunition, hits, enemies, and mission results.
Three.js builds each environment and weapon procedurally, while Web Audio synthesizes positional gunfire, impacts, creatures, footsteps, and music. Games Hub callsigns and results are resolved server-side, with guest play preserved when the hub is unavailable.
Highlights
- ●Four distinct cooperative operations
- ●Authoritative combat and squad state

Captured features
Inside the project
Capabilities
Key features
Shared squad loadout
The leader selects one of four weapons and one of three difficulty levels for every connected player.
Authoritative firefights
The server resolves health, ammunition, hit geometry, enemy attacks, respawns, and mission outcomes.
Readable incoming attacks
Enemy windups, traveling tracers, directional audio, and bearing markers make threats visible before and after impact.
Asset-free presentation
Procedural Three.js scenes and synthesized positional audio create the complete presentation without external art or sound assets.
Under the hood
How it works
- 1A Vite and TypeScript client renders procedural environments, first-person weapons, squad members, enemies, effects, and positional audio.
- 2The client sends movement input and shot rays over ws to a fixed-step Node server that owns the mission state.
- 3Shared configuration defines operations, weapons, deterministic encounters, geometry, scoring, and collision rules.
- 4The server optionally resolves Games Hub identity and reports authoritative results, while failures fall back to guest sessions.
