My new years resolution 2025 was to start learning @threejs.org so I got myself the @bruno-simon.bsky.social threejs journey course! Managed to get a basic prototype with networked players/local physics and basic rendering in blender! Now to fix performance issues. #threejs #tresjs @tresjs.org 🥳 🙌

@github.com is again unusable. This time the interface is just lagging non stop. Both chrome / firefox after clearing everything / hard refresh. Unusable for the past 2 days. I cant even "/" search a file without it taking 10 seconds to show me typing. Microslop at its finest #dev #github #devops

Can't believe this works in a browser... mavonengine.com/demo/BASEJum... #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #basejump #multiplayer #screenshotsaturday

Come fly with us! mavonengine.com/demo/BASEJum... #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #basejump

Well this certainly escalated... #gamedev #threejs #gamedevelopment

This is the most difficult part about explaining AI to someone. Also people using AI to "debunk" stuff. "Is this video AI generated" is already preloaded and it will tell you what you want to hear. The only way to go is its literally all made up there is no in between. Dont trust it

Something completely unrelated to my usual dev content. I learnt how to drop in on a skateboard!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SBl... #skateboarding #skateboard

Put up a cheeeezy website for my space game yesterday "We're building the future of multiplayer games. Join us in massive 1000 player real-time space battles with fighters, bombers and capital ships around derelict megastructures". spacegame.dev

For the first time in my career @github.com is actually blocking us from doing work by just having different services being offline or unavailable. Retry the action & the cache is offline. Retry again and cant pull docker images because registry timed out. This is insane. #dev #github #devops

In a functioning, stable and flourishing economy, every part of the industry flourishes. In a bubble, infrastructure bulks up, funded by debt, and explodes once the demand fails to arrive. And AI demand barely exists outside of two companies. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-ais-circular-psychosis/

Anyone want to make max payne in the browser? 🤯😱 dev.to/mattvb91/rea... #javascript #typescript #threejs @dev.to

Would appreciate a vote on here if you liked it threejs-journey.com/challenges/0... #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #node #typescript #threejs @bruno-simon.bsky.social

Finally fixed the mesh issues on this: github.com/mattvb91/rap... Ragdolls in threejs with blender mesh (blender file included) #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #node #typescript #threejs @bruno-simon.bsky.social

I somehow managed to make one of the clouds look like a turd... ooops #art #krita #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #drawing

Thanks for the MavonEngine shoutout!

Just released a new version which fixes some windows issues! mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript #threejs

Playing around with some ideas #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript #threejs

Updated the multiplayer demo on the homepage to the latest version! mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript #threejs #screenshotsaturday

Just dropped some fixes for the multiplayer template go check it out. Would love some feedback: npx @mavonengine/create-bootstrap #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript #threejs

Just released v0.0.7 of the editor which fixes it loading in dev mode now by pressing `.` github.com/MavonEngine/... #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript #threejs

Demo is up and working!!!! Final docs and npx create command coming tomorrow so you can bootstrap it yourself! mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

Does anyone have any good resources for nav mesh generation? Doesn't even have to be js / node specific just general? mavonengine.com/community/d/... #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

Starting to plan out community engine plugins!! mavonengine.com/community/d/... #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

Lmao this shit is crazy. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72379... Page 4 How do they still have this page up? www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...

Added some more prefab samples to the homepage: mavonengine.com Just drag & drop community prefabs directly into your #threejs games. #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

Now with prefabs ready to be pulled in. Going to make this so you can create prefabs and register them easily so you can browse a list of ready to go prefabs built by others mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

The editor gets dynamically loaded into the same canvas instance that your game is running on. Up next: Previewing assets such as models / animations / sounds / textures. mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney #nodejs #typescript

I have been busy!! 😬 I've managed to abstract parts to reuse in other games for single or multiplayer (With authoritative Server). Im aiming to have an initial preview release out by end of march. mavonengine.com #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney #nodejs

Implemented the water shader from #threejsJourney with culling under the terrain and 3 levels of LOD. Works pretty good so far. Check it out here: strainzero.com/play #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs

Not sure if I enjoy reading it or just hatereading it to confirm my own suspicions. Definitely recommend if you also feel everything is going to shit online (and offline)

Huge improvement in getting rid of the jank feeling by transition between animation states. Also using the push down state machine from @stuffwithstuff.com book for players and zombies. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Starting on a basic zombie idle animation! #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev

Playing around with some ideas like tilt shift as a main effect. This is too much but a subtle version could be interesting. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs

Zombies will now affect your health when they attack and kill you and other players! strainzero.com/play #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

You can now kill other players & zombies with grenades. Also the proof of concept of networked synchronized lootable "pickups" now works too! strainzero.com/play #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

First time playing around with menu music. 2 separate layers to give a nice transition when you enter the game by turning off the drum track and then slowly fading out the synths #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev

Any #threejs / #blender / #rapierjs experts able to chime in? discourse.threejs.org/t/blender-me...

Got a rough structure down for whats to come! Happy Friday everyone!

Implemented @threejs.org PositionalAudio last night and wow does it make a huge difference even with such a simple change. strainzero.com/play #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

PVP NOW WORKS!!! strainzero.com/play Next up will be taking damage instead of instant death. Most important part was the death mechanic itself and the respawn. #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Will be posting another performance optimization #devlog in future focusing on larger draw distances. strainzero.com/play #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturaday
