@elonmusk Building an "everything app" , has so many businesss and architectural requirements that have to be done right (having written hundreds of detailed arch pages on it). And until those are realized, putting code devs on it would be the ultimate feature creep & tech debt.

If you’re a hardcore software engineer and want to build the everything app, please join us by sending your best work to code@x.com. We don’t care where you went to school or even whether you went to school or what “big name” company you worked at. Just show us your code.

@mohammedzero43 @gamefromscratch @o3dengine It is a bit smaller. Github clone (w/LFS): 5GB Downloaded Deps: 2GB or using the O3DE binary Installer size: 8GB The rest is generated locally and depends on what you enable/use. Completely rewritten renderer, detangled deps, modular subsystems, growing, and a lot of support.

Epic Games have just joined the @o3dengine development foundation as a premier member... O3DE is an open source 3D game engine derived from Lumberyard (which in turn was forked from CryEngine). gamefromscratch.com/epic-games-joi… #gamedev #indiedev

It's hard to believe that it has been one year already! Happy birthday to the Open 3D community and partners! We couldn't have made it this far without all of you. #OpenSource #O3DE

ATM, I am playing around with the #multiplayer sample scene. will try and get it scaled out to see how far it can be taken :D @o3dengine is all ECS so target for this week is ~1k moving entities over the wire. Next week, I'll try for 1 k players :D #gamedev

When it’s said well, it’s best to just leave the words as-is. Major kudos to Joshua Rainbolt! And well-said, Royal O’Brien! LinkedIn post here tinyurl.com/tbmdr28s GitHub link lnkd.in/dRwGsxMz #amazon #aws #gamebuilding #gametemplate #o3de #kudos #gamejam

BIG NEWS: We’ve released a #Developer Preview installer for #O3DEJam & Development branches—no need to compile to run! Ran into a bug? Hop into our Discord community & chat. With #O3DEcon on Monday, we’ve got a lot to say! bit.ly/3Djq9kg bit.ly/3lqnkb8

Check out the awesome work from Cesium that enables Geospatial 3D photogrammetry tile rendering for O3DE! community.cesium.com/t/render-3d-ti…

Come join us for our first month long O3DE Game Jam! We will have a developer preview installer, sample content, and code along with our Discord community to support the Jam. discord.gg/GKyvzqXSmt itch.io/jam/o3de-jam-1

From @OBWANDO of @linuxfoundation: Openness is key to the #metaverse because it benefits both corporate and community interests, allows implementations to speak for themselves & creates an open and decentralized community. #siggraph2021

Come check out the discussion today about Building the Open #Metaverse at #SIGGRAPH2021 cesium.com/blog/2021/07/2…

Proud to announce my new role of General Manager of Digital Media and Games @linuxfoundation. I have found a deep passion for open source through #O3DE & looking forward to helping drive open source adoption & thought leadership to many industries that rely on 3D technologies.

#Mac Update: AMZN-SJ in Discord posted the ability to get AtomSampleViewer, Editor, and AssetProcessor running using an installed version of the engine. We're one step closer to installable native Mac support! #Apple #O3DE discord.gg/Mc6jStmuMK

"O3DE will have the edge on any other game engine when it comes to AI" - @Denis_Dyack After a lot of hard work, we have released a free-to-use #GameAI Gem for @o3dengine! Press release: pressat.co.uk/releases/free-… #GameDev #ToolsDev

#linux editor for #O3DE update from @fabioanderegg: If you want to try the Editor on Linux, check out: #issuecomment-888115232" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/o3de/o3de/pull… Thanks to spham-amzn for coordinating and doing most of the upstreaming work!

@o3dengine First day is looking good! almost 400 forks, 2,000 starred and a ton of action (800+ members) on Discord: discord.gg/HBBFmG28Vz - Some great deep tech dives! #o3de #opensource

@ID_AA_Carmack @MissQuickstep @InsightfulVR This was the main reason we went monolithic. There was little benefit to adding a level of complexity. We wanted to focus on speed of adoption. If in the future there is a desire to change, the community will help drive in that direction.

@MissQuickstep @InsightfulVR Monolithic codebases get things done. I am aware of the arguments and tradeoffs, but I believe that, in general, developers reach for distributed codebases and runtimes far more often than is beneficial. You may regret your decision.

O3DE looks like a GREAT THING for the industry! OTOH, while being "modular" it looks like it's a monolithic git repository. It would have been nice to see the code distributed across multiple repositories via a built-in "package manager" (We built @InsightfulVR's engine this way)

@ID_AA_Carmack I felt the same, so over the past 18 months we worked on this. This looked like a good place to start: linuxfoundation.org/press-release/… Site: O3DE.org Repo: github.com/o3de/o3de Apache 2.0/MIT fully open source engine for all.

I always found it curious how so much of game development outside of low level systems seemed fairly hostile to the ideals of open source. There is some aspect of business reality, and some aspect of artistic ownership, but there is something else going on culturally as well. \

Today, proud to announce the Open 3D Foundation (o3d.foundation) and the Open 3D Engine (o3de.org) as an Apache 2.0 licensed AAA 3D engine for developer preview. Press release here: linuxfoundation.org/press-release/…
