Box3D is now public & open-source. 🎉 We've used it as our 3D physics engine for the past year, for a Sandbox game where players can build whatever they imagine, or developers can build any game - Box3D handles anything thrown at it. Open development like this makes games... show more

i think the sausage characters are the easiest picture painted of your game. everyone, like everyone, hates the sausage guys. they're objectively fugly and uncool. yet you keep them, refusing to listen at all, for years, for no good discernable reason at all. just to "do your own thing". well, you can do that, but don't get upset when people don't like it.

@godotengine any plans on integrating this in future?, The deterministic physics is a good usecase

Looks like Box3D is deterministic! Does this mean that multiplayer events should be reflected accurately across all players?

Really cool that you guys shared this! I always love reading these kinds of blog posts! They are the kind of secret sauce! Ty for making Box2/3D and writing these blog posts @erin_catto! :3 Looking forward to what you guys are cooking over at Kintsugiyama!

🚀 Big milestone! I've replaced almost my entire Unreal Engine physics pipeline with Box3D. Sharing the latest progress on Box3DUnreal: a free, open-source Box3D integration for Unreal Engine focused on lightweight and high-performance physics. Try it, report issues, suggest improvements, or contribute on GitHub. The goal is to build something the Unreal community can improve together. Huge thanks to emptyvessel for the support and for giving me the opportunity to work on DEFECT, where I continue pushing gameplay, destruction, networking, and physics.

The best open source agent, now better with multi-model Chat. The latest release of II-Agent lets you use any model or subscription to build anything you can imagine. Use multiple models (Gemini 3 etc etc) on chat or build anything you can imagine with the agent.

I used Grok 4.5 in Grok Build to create a game engine for agentic coding, then built an ARPG on it, with all game assets generated via Grok Imagine in Grok Build. AI agents can build worlds, combat, loot, progression, maps, tests, and playable games. ⚒️🎮

Zuck: "For anyone who shows up now and is doing open source now that we have done it, there's a question. They already have their revealed preference for what they would build if open source didn't exist - it wasn't open source. We need to be careful about relying on their continued behavior for the future of the technology that we're gonna build at this company."

CubePart is the latest update to our open-source Cube 3D foundation model. It lets creators pair a text prompt with an open-ended part schema to generate labeled meshes that drop straight into a game engine for physics, animation, and scripting.

Grok Build just created a game called Grok Racer for me. The great thing is that I told Grok to use Grok Imagine for the images in the game and it did! That’s fantastic and proves that Grok Imagine can also be used for active game coding. It works well and looks so cool.

🌎Making Game Development Simple with the World Engine The World Engine is revolutionizing how game engines work in many ways. If you create a game, it's a lot of single work that you're doing, and then you're pushing it to other people, and then they work with it. But with the World Engine, you build together in real time, like in a shared sandbox. It’s faster, easy to use, runs on JavaScript/TypeScript, and includes AI tools that help both developers and non-coders create games easily. 🖥 Watch the video for the full breakdown!

Building and prototyping games is easier than ever with Sidekick. Our designer built a 3D version of this OpenAI GPT-o1 game demo in <1 hour. Used Autodesk Maya for assets, Unity for engine, @bezi_3d Sidekick for scripting & implementation. Sidekick analyzes your project for real-time context of the asset folder, scene objects, components, and more. This allows it to implement simple mechanics—like movement controls and basic physics—for your characters and objects in seconds. It's the AI tool built by game developers, for game developers.

Now Claude and ChatGPT can natively create Premiere (.PRPROJ) and After Effects (.AEP) files. We've added open-source converters to Tesseract, our creative suite for agents, to make it possible. It works both ways. Bring your existing Adobe projects into Tesseract and let your agent pick up where you left off, or vice versa. This is our first open-source release, and compatibility isn’t perfect yet. Create projects, tell us what breaks, or contribute a fix. Help us make Tesseract better for everyone. Try now for free.

We built the open source alternative to the Meta Raybans: Last year, I dropped out of MIT This year, we raised $8 million to build open source smart glasses Now, we’re launching our first smart glasses for devs: open source, with a software development kit, and an app store. A canvas for makers to easily build the upgrades we dreamed of as kids. Tools at your fingertips to expand our minds and unlock new powers And we're just getting started. Peep the website and join the movement with MentraLabs

I asked Astra to create a Catan game in three.js and it came out incredibly well. I played it, and the animations make it so much fun. The instructions and info cards make the game easy to learn. It even has AI players and trading. Astra used another game I had started building as a reference. The more games I build, the more skills and assets I have for the next one. It can remix the UI, 3D models, pages, and sounds instead of rebuilding everything. Now I want to see how many other board games I can make from this foundation.

Caesar III, running natively on iPad and iOS. Caesar III has never had a public iPad build. As far as I can find, nobody has even posted video of it running on one before. Not an emulator. CaesarPad runs Augustus as a native ARM64 iPadOS app. No Windows machine being simulated, no game being streamed from a Mac. The game was built for a mouse in 1998. Apple Pencil might be better. Place buildings, draw roads, open advisors and run the city by touching it directly. Fingers move and zoom the map while Pencil handles precision. Classic Age of Empires will have to wait. This Saturday, we build Rome. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the iPad layer. Open sourcing it all below.

We put 1000s of hours into building open-source camera glasses And now we're giving away everything we learned for free. Checkout this in-depth teardown of the Mentra Live smart glasses. As an OS company, our goal is to spread our OS. That goal encourages us to do crazy things, like build the world's best AI glasses for business and then show you how we made them... all in the name of spreading the OS. It also convinced us to make it 100% open source, so adoption is faster and easier. We're at risk of our competitors easily copypasting our code now... all in the name of spreading our OS. Now we've built the glasses for you, and we've taken the risk, and we've released an open SDK. Now your AI apps and agents can enter the real world on smart glasses. So now, what will you build?
