Took some time away and made the call to pause my @hytopia RPG for the moment. Still proud of the progress—wanted to share a little gameplay 💙

@_summer_plays_ Lmao

@HLS_dev your r/place MMO demo was great, imagine that but capybaras

they say vibe coded threejs games are just demos no one plays. so i vibe coded a @threejs capybara simulator in 1 day, 48,000 people played it. now running a $1,000 hackathon for whoever builds the best remix. repo is open source, deadline march 26. rules in the thread.

@levelsio 👀

Vibe Jam 2026 soon... 😊 Get ready!!!

@HiThereImCal @threejs Nice! yeah still building a few things with it as well.

@HLS_dev @threejs As a professional Unity dev who went from game dev to academia (Still use Unity daily!) it is legitimately like having time wasting chains unbound from me. I can't wait to see how this continues!

testing my idea: r/place + cozy world mmo.. threw together little demo with @threejs .. Thoughts? #threejs #indiedev

@Aaron_Wacker @threejs Thanks! Exploring webgpu I’m hoping to get 3-4 more levels of detail 🤘

@HLS_dev @threejs Amazing level of detail on the zoom. Your progressive detail substitute in 3d is really beautiful ❤️

@TheGamerSection Kicking around a new idea. x.com/HLS_dev/status…

#ScreenshotSaturday is LIVE 🎮🔥 Indie devs, reply with your proudest screenshot 👇 We’re actively looking for games to spotlight on The Gamer Section — trailers, interviews, coverage 👀 Let’s build something together 🚀 #indiedev #gamedev #supportindies

@CarlosRiosTX @threejs End goal would be to make the 3d world feel more like octopath travelers 2.5d style.

@HLS_dev @threejs Thats awesome! The variety and complexity looks nice, honestly kind of a surprise that you go from a pixel looking mesh to trees.

@master_0f_logic @threejs Oh damn that sucks. I might still have it dled.

@HLS_dev @threejs he closed it so you can only play it if you have it downloaded/added to your steam library he took the hate to serious and left basically.

@master_0f_logic @threejs I tried to play it on launch but was tough to get in. I need to go back and check it out.. My actual first idea was Light no Fire 2.5d world. Maybe ill fork it and test out something 🤘

@HLS_dev @threejs Check dreadmyst out and if you could make something similar with what you have here so far it’d go viral asap

@zacxbt @0x_Something Thanks, doo it!. Yeah big fan of Retro Evolved 2. Logged ton of hours in Pacifism mode lol

@HLS_dev @0x_Something i've been wanting to make a geometry wars style game this looks sick

Been working on a crazy idea (more soon) last few days but wanted to post some progress on Geo Force. Ended up Using swarms as Events! Added moving safe zones and bomb power ups! shoutout @0x_Something for the ideas! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #webgpu

@earth__sophie @threejs Thank you! Yes working on some social features as well!

@HLS_dev @threejs This looks magnificent! Love how three.js brings such verdant, communal spaces to life.

@BuzzMista @threejs ohh yeah. One thought I had was random world events that effect pixels/tiles. That could be one of them! then you can put it out water tiles!

@HLS_dev @threejs Add a forest fire that keeps spreading 😁

@HiThereImCal @threejs nice! that really cool! Yeah UI still in flux haven't really locked down the flow or even the feature set i wanna go with. Yes three.js is awesome! I come from Unity bg so this is a bit freeing with no bloated Interface.

@HLS_dev @threejs Claude's frontend is very similar between projects, I reccomend prompting some changes if you want it to stand out, that being said, Three.js is AWESOME. I've used it to make a pretty little life sim engine :) hithereimcal.github.io/ALIFE/

@CarlosRiosTX @threejs Thank You! All generated on the fly — the terrain is pure math turned into pixels, and the globe shape is just shader trickery bending a flat plane into a curve at runtime. No texture files anywhere.

@HLS_dev @threejs Honestly this looks awesome. Is the sphere using a texture or is all of that generated along with the terrain?

Thanks! Yeah, the base terrain is all procedural so only the actual painted pixels need to be stored — keeps the world state pretty lean. Changes get pushed to clients as they happen rather than syncing full snapshots, and the rendering just composites those incoming diffs locally. You nailed the next bottleneck though — viewport-scoped subscriptions would be next.

@HLS_dev @threejs Cool demo! From a geospatial/game systems angle.. curious what the world model looks like under the hood? For something like this, the real scaling challenge usually becomes tiled/chunked world state / delta sync / efficient texture or region updates more than raw render.

@KiroTeamGames Real

Indie dev scope creep be like: Week 1: "It's a simple platformer" Month 3: "We added a crafting system" Month 6: "There's now a full economy simulation" Month 9: "The game is a MMORPG" Just. Ship. The. Game. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

@ImmatureGamer So true. Trying not fall into this. SHIP IT!

Game devs overthink this way too much. Just publish the game. Worst case, nobody plays it. Best case, it blows up and changes everything. You’ll never know which one it is unless you ship it.

@reaction105 love the aesthetics!

late night & sky high

@TheGamerSection new idea.. what you think? x.com/HLS_dev/status…
