preliminary grok-4.5 testing... is this a fable-like? 😱 i think Elon Musk fricken COOKED!

a web based Three.js streamed open-world with 100 unique players running on my 6 year old iphone 12 pro. ai lets me fail fast and go in a bunch of directions until something lands. this would have taken me years without ai! i ended up building a budgeting system for both plots (lods) and avatars (ghost+cull). vram on mobile devices is hyper critical - safari will just kill the page if you go over ~150MB. and yes... every player here is representative of a real player with completely unique wearable meshes each, although animations are all shared and happen on the gpu.

There are a LOT of companies out there right now trying to build AI-native game engines where users can turn words into games. The video below shows exactly what they're trying to achieve. It turns out "words -> game" is much harder than it looks... How do you make vehicles and other machines operate correctly in a sandbox where anything can happen? How do you support tool-based items when everything you grab requires different poses and mechanics? How do you make sure that everything created works coherently with everything else and doesn't break? How can multiple people be in one game at once and see the same chaos happening at the same time all in sync? What about physics? How do we make it run well on every device, even phones? It turns out generation was never the real problem, coherence was.

quietly building a web based threejs multiplayer world engine that supports an infinite world size, terrain sculpting, painting and detail, a day-night system and supports 1k concurrent players with swappable wearables that runs on a single cheap nodejs server and looks smooth even on my 6 year old iphone's web browser. let that sink in...

i've had claude quietly building me a web based mobile-first 2D top down pixel fantasy game powered by Three.js in the background for a few weeks now, it's jam packed full of stuff: - brawl stars style combat across 10 different weapons and play styles - gear layering and animation system with light, medium and heavy armor with different stats - mining, woodcutting, fishing, foraging, smelting, cooking, tanning, etc - basic mobs that roam - ai-powered enemies that know how to use all the same weapons/armor humans do - pvp! overall pretty stoked how this went from literally nothing to all of this in such a short amount of time. let me know if this is something you might wanna play, maybe i'll share a link?

ok i need to stop now, 2000 unique avatars in a single threejs world at once. fps dropped to 30 but like, wgaf there's TWO THOUSAND people in there!?!?!

eliza agents can choose to join ANY hyperfy world autonomously, just like we would, and then roam around, interact with people etc.

In-world AI generated scene from scratch! No external tools were used (blender, vscode etc). I simply typed things like `/create scarecrow` or `/edit make bees fly around it` and the AI handled it. The whole session was around 12 minutes, most creations and edits took <10s and while they were happening I just went and duplicated and placed things around. The AI models will get better. Right now there's some confusion where AI gets angles inverted etc, but this all seems fixable. Currently using anthropic API for speed, but I found GPT-5 makes better models but it takes much longer to generate.

Finally solved all the big things needed to prove occlusion culling is viable in the Hyperfy engine. All culling happens directly at render time and instantly, we've taken over the Three.js render pipeline to use our spatial hierarchy and manually issue renders, postprocessing and shadow passes with both frustum and occlusion culling. Our pipeline now aligns much more closely to unity/unreal because we collect visible objects and issue custom instanced draws on the fly for only those objects every single frame. This is one of the biggest issues engines on the web like three, babylon and playcanvas have and imo the reason people coming from unity/unreal don't take them seriously. There's a lot to unpack here, maybe i'll make a thread soon.

If you want your trees to do weird shit, go ahead. Eventually agents will code all this for you too. Just tell them what you want to happen and it happens.
