Just kind of building a Steam template for Unity atp

Why are Linear Story games still such a bitch to build

@pyrorubberhips Neat

Been working on OC ambient cinematic orchestral for my MMO for a few days

Shit is tough

@sensational965 OG wow devs or OG halo devs

at first it was a Vite website which worked really well until I had to start adding 3D models. Then I went from GameDev to basically creating a Game Editor Website, and after 3 weeks of building tools and Prefab editors i said f-it and migrated to Godot over the weekend.

Moxels is still early, but the goal is clear:

A voxel survival MMO where players can gather, build, craft, fight, explore, and shape the same world together.

Not a lobby. Not a match. A world.

Converting from Vite Web Client to GoDot for my Voxel Survival MMO.

Supporting/Creating an Editor just for a custom web-client was preventing me from making features and I was getting bored. So what better way to learn Godot after 13years of Unity dev than as a mmo client lmao

Expanded the feature list and direction for Moxels. It is early, but having the long-term target matters: shared world, survival systems, progression, building, and MMO-scale infrastructure all need to line up.

How did the OG #worldofwarcraft devs stay inspired. Was it the group or the individual?

Building a custom web game, then realizing you have to build a halfassed editor for you to configure stuff and suddenly your building a game editor/engine and not working in a game anymore

Oops

[HotBoxed Studios @hotboxedstudios]

@CChaBouzu Super sick

[HotBoxed Studios @hotboxedstudios]

Best way to find users for an open technical play test?

Base-ish game but mostly testing the mmo network under a real load is what im after

[HotBoxed Studios @hotboxedstudios]

I wonder if the devs say s-and-box or sandbox

[HotBoxed Studios @hotboxedstudios]

@mechabaron I like it

We added adaptive RLE chunk compression to our MMO voxel survival game.

For 16x16x16 chunks, block payloads can drop from 8KB per chunk to 0.8KB with an avg of 1.3KB 🚀

Building a mmo survial voxel game. Right now it’s web based, should I:

rebuild it for desktop?

Wrap the web browser and make a “desktop” build?

Keep it webbased
