Aritelia

@web3_shadowking This is exactly the trap we’re trying to avoid with Aritelia. No token-first launch. The game has to be worth entering before ownership matters. Web3 should support identity, cosmetics, artifacts, and live island utility, not replace fun with a chart.

Launching a "Web3 game" on Solana has become way too predictable. Launch a Pump fun token. Build a pixel-art farming game or voxel MMO. Gate access behind token holders. Call it a player-driven economy. Let CT do the marketing. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we stopped asking whether the game was actually fun. Instead, we started measuring success by market cap, trading volume, and how fast the token pumped. That's not gaming. That's financial speculation with a game wrapped around it. The projects that survive won't be the ones that launched the biggest token. They'll be the ones people are still playing long after the chart stops trending.

1/ RELEASED! @Aritelia3 demo v0.1.3 is now available with important updates: ⏱️ Significant performance optimizations 🌤️ Better cloud lighting 🗼 New tower building included 🧵 [1/3] #webgl #html5 #metaverse #gamedev

RELEASED new Aritelia build 🌴 ✅ Improved effects and graphics in testing. ✅ New graphics preset (=melt my GPU). ✅ Magic seeds test! solargames.io/demos/aritelia v0.1.1🚧 Detailed changelog in our Discord server: discord.gg/N7rUAFYJqX @playcanvas #gamedev #metaverse #webgl

RELEASED in alpha 🌴 @Aritelia3 Island Creator, a tech demo of a procedural world built with Uranus Tools for @playcanvas ✅ A unique world is generated, click to share! ✅ Real time effects ✅ Runtime physics walk anywhere solargames.io/demos/aritelia v0.1.0🚧 #gamedev #metaverse

Using some @Aritelia3 assets in Uranus Tools SDK. This world was created in ~2 hours in @playcanvas! ⏱️ ✅ Real time day cycle, reflective/refractive water ✅ ~100 draw calls! ✅ Fully interactive ➡️ accurate colliders 🔜 live demo! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #webgl #html5

The render surface script included in the Uranus Tools SDK can be used on regular UI elements to render a top down map on demand. Here rendering some nice game maps 🗺️ The fog effect isn't added separately, it's the actual in game fog! @playcanvas #metaverse #gamedev #webgl #js

Working on @Aritelia3 using Uranus Tools! ~1000 complex trees 🌴 - Different LODs per layer (world, shadows, reflections) - Cell based frustum culling - Cached mesh colliders, varied scale - Vegetation wind/interaction - LOD fade effect @playcanvas #webgl #gamedev @SolarGames3

✨I wish this place was real ✨ ➡️🗺️ Visit this island live, here: aritelia.io/play/?island=0… 🏝️ @Aritelia3 Created with @SolarGames3 Uranus tools for @playcanvas #webgl #indiedeveloper #gamedev #gamedesign #IndieGameDev #indiegames #Metaverse #metaverseproject #metaversegame

That was one of our goals when building Aritelia! To create a beautiful and relaxing experience that helps people feel refreshed while exploring the world. Stay tuned! we are working currently in redeveloping the base version, improving performance and why not VR 😇

@vrhermit Yes! We definitely have plans to do that, @playcanvas makes it easy to add support. We plan to have at least a tour mode that works in VR, if not more game elements.

Α Wand I have created for @Aritelia3 . I modeled it in @AdskMaya and Textured it at @Substance3D You can visit Aritelia's islands and play here: aritelia.io

Night time in @Aritelia3 🌜 Visit the island here ➡️🏝️aritelia.io/play/?island=6… #aritelia #playcanvas #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #HTML5 #webgl

Well, there is a palm tree inside a Temple in @Aritelia3 now 😆🌴 ➡️See it live here: aritelia.io/play/?island=4… Have a nice day everyone! 🌞 #webgl #aritelia #Metaverse #playcanvas #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #Web3 #web3projects

To further reduce render time, in most quality presets (up to Desktop), we've implemented delay timers per shadows cascade: - 1st (closer to camera) updates per frame - 2nd at 10FPS - 3rd at 4FPS - 4th at 2FPS #gamedev #indiedev #webgl #html5 @playcanvas

We've optimized how LODs are distributed on each collection and removed some of them at the expense of a slightly higher polycount. All in all we managed a 30% reduction of draw calls in @Aritelia3! Plenty of room for things coming 😇 #gamedev #indiedev #webgl #html5 @playcanvas

Testing multiple video feeds (camera/screen) inside @Aritelia3! Each player gets his own canvas to place somewhere on the island (apologies for the blurring, it was a private gathering). #gamedev #indiedev #webgl #html5 @playcanvas

💙👀

First test of video streaming (screen/camera sharing) in @Aritelia3! Multimedia gatherings are coming online🎉 #gamedev #indiedev #html5 #webgl @playcanvas

A white canvas together with a blue crystal... what's coming next in Aritelia? #gamedev #indiedev #webgl #html5 @playcanvas
