I am working on a PC Desktop version of the game, a complete new Dedicated Server (Linux Headless) and I might later on depending on how many people play it release a WebGL version to be played within a browser.

Headless Server will be written in C# .NET Core (Self-Contained) and the Client will be using the Unity Engine, these are to be written from scratch and won't be Open Source, but will still be free.

Its just me doing it as a learning curve and in my free time all from scratch.

There is info about it on there forums, sadly the work on it is slow.

When you say "headless" version of Linux does that mean the server software would be available for non GUI Linux versions?, And would the server software be running on a centralized platform, much like other online games, where the server is at a data center and the client software is downloaded to connect to that server? Or will the game come with both client and sever software, but the server can only be run on headless Linux? if the latter, my home server is running headless Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, which is how I prefer to run Linux servers.

Basically the server side will be run in a console on a Linux Server.
Players would download the game client which will connect to our services to authenticate their login if valid they are presented with game servers to play on.
Those servers don't store login info, they just run the game.
