Manyland was an in-browser pixel sandbox universe game by Philipp Lenssen and Scott Lowe. It relied heavily on user-generated content. Its universe and various areas were open for building.
Many documents such as help and forums were also accessed in-game (https://manyland.com/helptown).
On 2023-10-02, Philipp Lenssen disclosed budget difficulties.[1] On 2023-11-26, it was announced that Manyland would shut down, perhaps in January 2024; on 2024-02-15, this date was updated to 2024-02-29.[2]
Its website now hosts static snapshots of various areas.
Websites appeared to snapshot areas, such as https://areabackup.com/ and https://offlineland.io/.
From 2023 to closure, Facebook login was not functional, locking many users out of their accounts.
Archive
The owner of Pictorbit, Rose, who also seems to own offlineland has a personal archive of all public areas of the now defunct Manyland, which encompasses an enormous amount of tiles. The archive seems fully usable in a game clone, as she, at some point let a select number of people navigate their characters through the backup areas back when Pictorbit was named Thingistan. It is unknown what will happen to her Manyland archive, or even if she lets anyone access it anymore.
