@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.

[Royal OBrien @OBWANDO]

@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.

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

[Open 3D Engine @o3dengine]

Today we celebrate one year of the Open #3D Foundation! Thank you to all the members, supporters, and fellow visionaries for your help on building the first fully-featured, real-time #opensource 3D engine available to every industry. Here's to many more years to come.

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

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!

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.

Come check out the discussion today about Building the Open #Metaverse at #SIGGRAPH2021

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.

[Open 3D Engine @o3dengine]

#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 https://t.co/pXsfQmNFNf

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: https://t.co/lbJ9VAk6cr - Some great deep tech dives! #o3de #opensource

[Royal OBrien @OBWANDO]

@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.

[Royal OBrien @OBWANDO]

@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: https://t.co/nlIRfVc6Tj
