500 players running in the same Three.js world — still holding 60+ FPS. 😄 A few days ago I was happy with stable terrain rendering. Now the world is filled with hundreds of moving players, chunk streaming, instanced models, and smooth transitions between real chunks and placeholder terrain. This is starting to feel like an actual platform-scale game world. More soon 👀 #threejsJourney #webgl #gamedev #threejs #AI #VibeCoding

Since I'm working on a Topdown/Isometric Adventure-like game for The Sandbox Studio's #Gamejam - I also needed to fix some issues where when we would walk behind trees, terrain or models, we coudl still see our main character. So, playing around with some 'fade/dither' effect to do that. Also, made some changes of the visual style of the paths, and shadow system + added some extra models in the mix! 🎨 Love vibing with Three.js + The Sandbox Creators

Okay… it officially has a name now: Ricochet Rascals! 💥 Just added the new title screen, game-mode menu and a live bot battle running in the background. Because apparently even the main menu needs chaos 😅 It’s really starting to feel like a proper game now. The Sandbox #GameJam × Three.js #SAND

Live player presence, but visual. I built a Three.js view where you can see friends and players moving between games in real time. Spot someone playing something fun? Click their avatar and instantly join the same room/world. This makes game discovery feel alive. 🎮

Remember Line Rider? 😅 I made a tiny Doodles-inspired version of it: Doopies Line Rider 🌈 Play it here: Draw a rainbow track → hit play → watch your Doopie roll, jump and loop through it using real 2D physics. Guide him into the rainbow portal… or just use Free Mode and draw whatever chaos you want. Just a fun little in-between project ❤️ 100% vibecoded/designed within Three.js × The Sandbox Studio, using the doodles Field Guide by burnt toast • ᴗ •

Another little update on my The Sandbox Game Jam project 👀 Been working on the weapons and movement in a small practice area, with some target dummies to shoot at. And of course testing some more terrain destruction 😅 Still not showing too much of the actual game yet… Three.js The Sandbox Creators

The The Sandbox Beta Game Jam has started… 👀 Not ready to show what the game actually is yet, but here’s a tiny preview. For now, I’m just drawing faces into mountains 😂 More soon™ 🌿 Three.js The Sandbox Creators

Added a Practice Mode to Ricochet Rascals 🎯 A chill little simulation room where you can test all 4 weapons, practice hits, ricochets, jumping and movement without the chaos of a real match. Also been polishing a lot lately: ✨ better animations 🎵 background music 🔊 first SFX pass 💥 extra particles Slowly turning from prototype into a real #indiegame 😄 The Sandbox #GameJam × Three.js

Ok, so... Just vibed a quick proof of concept demo for this. Nothing fancy, yet... But. Awesome to see what's already possible using Three.js x GPT 5.6 Sol for like +- 1 hour to create something like this. 😅 And yeah, everything running 60+ FPS easily. (but for sure needs a LOT of polishing) For sure an awesome game concept INK - Reminds me of Assassin's Creed somehow as well.

I keep getting game ideas while playing with my kids… and apparently I have zero self-control when it comes to building them 😅 So here’s my second The Sandbox Game Jam project — which I’ll probably finish before the first one. A chaotic party brawler for up to 6 players: ❤️ Take down your opponents’ 3 hearts ⚔️ Throw and steal weapons 💥 Knock players off the arena 🎮 Boomerang Fu meets Super Smash Bros. Here’s the very first gameplay footage! 100% vibe-coded with Sandbox Studio + Three.js 🚀

Stable 60+ FPS in Three.js — finally. The world renders 149 chunks around the player, while distant terrain is blended into a lightweight placeholder mesh for performance. Move around, and the chunks + fake terrain smoothly fade between each other without killing FPS. World models are instanced too, keeping draw calls low. More soon 👀 #threejsJourney #webgl #gamedev #threejs

I was supposed to be polishing Ricochet Rascals… so naturally I built another game instead 😅 Meet Mini Skatepark — a colorful cel-shaded skating minigame filled with bowls, ramps, speed, big air, combos and glowing skate trails. Just a fun little change of pace… that may already be becoming a much bigger game than intended 👀 Vibe-coded with Sandbox Studio + Three.js for the The Sandbox #GameJam 🛼✨

I just love creating/designing using awesome AI driven tools like the new The Sandbox Studio + Codex from OpenAI (I personally use GPT 5.5, I prefer it over Claude models) But I cleaned up some bottlenecks, so now it's running 60 FPS, and added some basic 🕷️ models to attack and changed the path design + animated grass and trees with a stylized look. And added some animated wtaer ripples near the edges which I like. But I'll probably add some color variation like I had before back into the mix. Definitely not perfect yet, but, work in progress! #SAND #vibecoding #gamedev #gamejam The Sandbox Creators Three.js

Mind-blowing what you can build with zero coding skills today! 🤯 I’m designing my own 3D Pokémon-like browser RPG using Three.js & OpenAI (GPT-5.4). The barrier to game dev is officially gone, and I'm loving every second of it. 🎮✨ #NoCode #GameDev #AI

And while I'm also working on this platform to publish my own games and Three.js tech demos on... I'm also working on a platformer with a "familiar" gameplay mechanic. Please look at the following footage. 👀 Coming soon!

Your avatar. Synced across every game. Customize it during gameplay, jump between games, worlds, and levels, and your look updates instantly across the platform — even while you’re already in-game. We’ve also added loading screens between switches, making world and level transitions feel smoother and more intentional. Huge credit to Phaxy | HYTOPIA x HYTOPIA for the amazing model and texture work.

I vibecoded a little multiplayer platforming demo with OpenAI and Three.js — and you can now try it in your browser. Run, jump, and explore with others here: I’ve added SFX, background music, and polished the gravity + jumping mechanics. Definitely not a full game yet, but a fun way to start gathering feedback. 🎮

Game switching should feel instant. Smooth. Natural. Almost organic. And when you jump back to the game selection screen, your active session shouldn’t disappear. So we made sure it doesn’t. Meet the miniplayer for HYTOPIA and Three.js games running on the platform.

what if... we take the amazing addicting gameplay mechanic from PowerWash Simulator, and with the power of Three.js and @hytopia neo we create this 'paint the world' gameplay mechanic?
