You can now bootstrap it yourself!! `npx @mavonengine/create-bootstrap` mavonengine.com #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

#Devlog 3 is here. This time about rigging car doors in #blender to interact with in #threejs youtu.be/7z5xQ57rbjA #threejsjourney #gamedev #indiegamedev

Started working on a looting mechanic for cars last night. Started with hinge points / rotation constraints in blender and then brought it into threejs as animations. Will make a #devlog to cover the setup of this too! #threejs #threejsjourney #gamedev #indiegamedev

Starting on the new game UI elements strainzero.com/play #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs

Second #devlog incoming. This time doing some first optimizations to improve things further down the line: youtu.be/cGi7Nhxc9R8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Just rolled out the first in a few major performance updates. Should be noticeably smoother on laptop/desktop devices. Mobile performance still to come. Will be covering the main points in the next #devlog strainzero.com/play #indiegamedev #threejs #gamedev

First attempt at a #devlog. Definitely gonna take some time to get used to talking to the camera. Sorry about the 'uuhm`s' and 'eems' the nerves got to me 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_5d... #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Biggest update to date out now! Procedural terrain / vegetation generation across networked clients & shadow map updates correctly now with the player moving. Also fixed some movement bugs. strainzero.com/play #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Managed to make progress last night on the first proof of concept of loot (items to pickup) along with the GUI indicators to go with it strainzero.com/play #threejs #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejsjourney

First pass at vegetation (trees) spawner, starting to come together strainzero.com/play #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs #threejsjourney

Added rapierJs character collider and now spawning zombies at roughly the correct terrain level! strainzero.com/play #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs

Still feels like 12 year old at xmas every time putting together the next rig for the next 7-8 years

Lets gooo! looking forward to this @tynansylvester.bsky.social @stuffwithstuff.com #gamedev #indiegamedev

Fixed a bug with the physics world not destroying bodies after a player disconnects. 40 active connections with a cpu load of 65% with just very basic optimisation seems amazing. This is on a €3.20 / month hetzner instance... strainzero.com/play #gamedev #threejs #indiegamedev

Just deployed endless procedural terrain generation to the server. Come check it out. strainzero.com/play Next up fixing spawning of entities on the terrain (currently floating) #gamedev #threejs #threejsjourney #indiegamedev

Testing chunk generation on the server with massive draw distances. #threejs #indiegamedev #gamedev

Weekend progress: Server generates procedural chunks & sends out to all connected clients + physics mesh automatically matches the terrain! Need to fix the tiling now (im assuming its the shadowmap as the next chunk was missing when it was updated) #threejs #indiegamedev #gamedev #threejsJourney

This is amazing @ottoojala.com

Server side network synced chunk generation: check! #threejs #indiegamedev #gamedev

Got a working minimap finished last night! Rendering separate shapes to a different layer / separate canvas. So much to dig into. #threejs #indiegamedev #indiedev

At what point are you supposed to stop adding details? 😂@simondev.bsky.social Entities can now leave a trail in the grass & explosions cause a visible shockwave 🤯🤯 strainzero.com/play #threejs #indiegamedev #indiedev

Come shoot some multiplayer #threejs ragdoll zombies with me until the server crashes 😂 strainzero.com/play #indiegamedev #gamedev #threejsJourney

Serverside zombies & state sync working!! #gamedev #indiegamedev #threejs

First pass at multiplayer state synchronisation. Opened a whole new can of worms... #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Cant believe this is running in a browser 🤯 Start on particle system and proof of concept for explosives #threejs #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #threejsJourney

Started building a very basic UI to get some communication between the UI and game state / entities / events. #gamedev #threejs #indiegame

The horde is growing fast! 😲 #threejs #gamedev #threejsJourney

Starting on particles & basic muzzle flash. Not getting much done cause just end up playing around too much 😂 #threejs #gamedev

Starting to come together pretty nice... #threejs #rapierjs #gamedev #physics #threejsJourney
