A community server for Radical Heights

Back on air.

Radical Heights Community Server is a fan-run server that puts the game back online. Boss Key switched theirs off in 2018; ours brings back the login, the menus, the prize room, matchmaking and the matches, so you can sign in, hit Play and get back into a game. Grab the launcher, redeem an invite code, and you're on the show.

Who made it, and why

Burn made this, one person with no studio behind it, who wanted Radical Heights playable again for anyone who still has it. The game's own code said what it needed from a server, and that's the server that got built.

Read how it was made.

What's in the box

Everything you need to play

The launcher

A small program that starts the show. It opens your copy of Radical Heights, connects it to the community server and adds some community fixes.

Grab it from Mod Updates.

Your invite code

Your contestant badge. Redeem it once in the launcher and you've got an account on the community server, with no Steam login needed.

Join the Discord to get yours.

The community server

Everyone plays together on one server. Your account, your cash and cosmetics are stored there. Matches run in more than one region, and more can be added as players need them.

Join us. Come on down.

The switchboard

Everything backstage, rebuilt

Everything that made Radical Heights tick is back. Signing in, finding a match, your banked cash, your stats, your friends, the news and the prize room are all running again on the community server, the way you remember them.

There's nothing for you to set up. Redeem an invite code, hit Play, and it's all just there, with nothing in the prize room costing real money.

How & Why it was made

Radical Heights was built to run on servers that don't exist any more, so I built new ones. I read the game's own code until it told me what it needed, then built exactly that. Here's the whole story, and why I bothered.

Keep it going

One person, one server bill

Everything in the game is free, and that's staying put. What it costs is the time, and a server in the middle of it with a monthly bill. If it gets you back into a match, help cover the bill on Ko-fi. Your name goes up in lights in the footer and you get a supporter role on the Discord.

Help out on Ko-fi. It pays the server bill.

The Discord's the green room

Progress as it happens, the tests when there's something to test, and a room full of people who miss the game too. Tell us what broke, find a match, or hang about.

Break things, report things, hang about.
