MabraX

Physics sims in the browser, grown into living worlds: forests, storms, now a swamp. Physics first, but they have to look good. Heading toward games.

Season 1: The Swamp.

A small swamp in the browser: still water that ripples when something lands on it, reeds that bend in the wind, fog that sits low, a dragonfly hunting at dusk.

These are AI mood references, not my work: the feeling I'm after, the storyboard not the map.

Physics first, but it has to feel like this. One system at a time. Will I get there?

[MabraX @MabraX]

Tomorrow: fog that sits low over this water.

[MabraX @MabraX]

The swamp, day two: the water moves.

Rings spread, bounce off the stumps, die in the reeds and lift the lily pads. A light air ruffles the open water, so it's no longer a perfect mirror.

Nothing lives here yet, but we are getting closer...

@vib3coded Fable is a beast!

[MabraX @MabraX]

@behmcreative This would look sick as my wallpaper!

[MabraX @MabraX]

@BlendiByl Very nice art style. You have to add ninjas dropping from the trees though.

@buzzybats I hear you, but I think this is the new blockout. I kept pushing Fable and well this is the result. For the water I will try different approaches, see what works / feels best.

[MabraX @MabraX]

The swamp, day one: a "blockout" you can orbit.

Nothing is simulated yet. The water is a flat mirror and the reeds don’t move. Just the shape of the place.

I got carried away. Fable did the rest :P

The physics starts now. Water first.

@pwnies You remind me of kiki's delivery service with this, very nice work!

@YzzlQ0kBnf5nCsg EVE online killer!

@invalid_degen @threejs @WebGL_WebGPU @WebGPU @80Level This is looking good, I keep impressing myself with what can be done in the browser.

[MabraX @MabraX]

@Invouxly Scariest thing in there right now is a lily pad. Friday you get first vote on what moves in :P

[MabraX @MabraX]

@Invouxly Nothing under there yet. The first hunter planned is a dragonfly. You’ve just made a good case for something bigger :P

[MabraX @MabraX]

Tomorrow: the first thing out of the simulator. Water ripples, raw, in their own small pool. Not in the swamp yet.

[MabraX @MabraX]

@Andrew_Blumson @threejs @WebGPU This is an opportunity, we can become sort of "creative directors" explore ideas, concepts, and let ourselves go wild.

[MabraX @MabraX]

@Ki11_5trike This looks so nice, the contrast between the background and the psychedelic colors make it really stand out.

[MabraX @MabraX]

Tomorrow: a rough blockout you can orbit. Nothing simulated yet, just the shape of the place.

@koguGameDev How do the parameters decide where the branches go?
