b... but...
why?
If you like it and you're doing it for fun then that's great, but why do you need money in that case.
I just replayed Arcanum a few months ago and I only had one minor bug with a side quest. No other issues whatsoever, i just installed drog's patch.

I work as senior software developer. Quite proficient with JavaScript.
I also work with Unity. Just like you do, probably. And you know what I use there? C#. Because when you try to get JavaScript to work with huge enterprise projects you suck all the JavaScriptness out of it. In case of Unity you turn it into a quasi-OOP language a la C#. Those application you talk about still usually have web at their core, plus you have endless apps that were initially made as web app and later repackaged as web apps with wrapper to various platforms.
Also why did you link Nasdaq Private Market? Is it because their site uses JavaScript?
This defense of a simple tool does not create a good impression.

That would not be needed, as you can upgrade the project to new language revision and technologies if it's needed. I already upgraded the code from ES5 to ES2017 in a few days.

They probably use Unity. In this case it would be fine probably. Because it's not acually the same stuff that happens in your browser, it's a language that looks just as JavaScript but executed more or less like C# code. The difference would be that JavaScript code would be harder to read and support, especially in a game with complex logic, and I suspect Arcanum's tactical combat and AI has complex logic.
If they use WebGL (though it's a mystery why would they do it apart from crossplatform support, as if anyone dreams of playing Arcanum on a tablet) for some reason then it will probably be slower but still quite playable. Nowadays you can run assembled code in your browser, not just script. But I suspect we've heard about WebAssembly by now. Anyway Arcanum is simple enough to be launched in broswer.
Also you can make a tram using a loaf of bread and knitting needles. The question is why would you do that?
It's not like there's choice, UnityScript was discontinued last summer. Didn't know, Unity developer?

Have you ever heard of Emscripten? In Unity, when you're exporting the project to web runtime, all the C# code is being recompiled to JavaScript using Emscripten in order to make them runnable in web browsers.
And about OOP, I'm using ES2017... it does have classes and other OOP features.
OpenArcanum will run in HTML5 capable browsers as well. JavaScript and WebAssembly is the future.

Do you know what "deprecated" means?

Please, if you want to support the development of the OpenArcanum, consider becoming a patron of this project or making a small donation to the project. (You will get something in reward afterall
You forgot to close the parenthesis, and it's been bugging the shit out of me.
Here: )
Ok, carry on.

I should mention that this is not a commercial project. Unity is not a good choice if you want to make a game engine reimplementation. Also, I want to allow players to easily mod the game. JavaScript is much simpler to understand for newbies than is C#.
Originally, OpenArcanum was written in C++ and I would rewrite it to C# already if I thought it was a good idea.

I'm just sittin here with a bag of post ratings... A surplus of laughy faces but maybe a couple of agrees, brofists, and razor blades. Oh... And a dump truck of shit.

One worked on Pillars of Eternity. Right now he's probably choking on hairy balls.
One designed Diablo 3. Then worked on Pillars and Tyranny.
The last one is doing shooters.
I bet OP is Russian and in his early 20s.
EDIT: Oh, a Czech, I guess that explains why he's never heard of kkkodex and drog
