@aduermael @__blip Studies and work meant I gradually stopped using the platform, but I still look back on it very fondly today.
I had the chance to meet the whole team in 2023 at the famous game jam, it was awesome. Thanks again for this project, I think it left a mark on quite a few of us 🫶

@aduermael @__blip Several months later I was teaching Lua to entire high school classes directly on Cubzh, because it was such a great opportunity to introduce young people to development.
I had the chance to take part a bit in the creator program and try to share my passion for the platform.

The time has unfortunately come to say goodbye to @__blip. 🪦
We've been working on this project for about 6 years, but fully stopped pushing updates a few months ago already.

It's been such a great adventure, probably the most ambitious project I've had the opportunity to work on.
Both @gaetan_dv and I are actually thankful for our genuine naivety back in 2019. Not sure we would have dived in knowing about all the challenges upfront.

Armed with what felt like sufficient knowledge in mobile gaming, scripting environments, and backend infrastructure, we decided to take a shot at going after @Roblox with a competing platform. We approached this as Roblox fans really, we thought it was brilliant. It's just that there couldn't be only one decent multiplayer UGC gaming platform option on the market. And we had ideas about how to make it more accessible on mobile, bringing some of the @Minecraft DNA too.

I'm not going to detail the whole story here.
Long story short, distribution is hard. We tried different things over time and ended up running out of money.
Even with a platform approach, seeking funding for a gaming studio has become quite complicated.
I really can't blame VCs for that. Distribution is not going to get easier, and AI is definitely a more appealing and promising space for capital deployment. I'm fully embracing that myself now with my new position at Shortcut, building tools and systems for agents.

I just wanted to post one last video of Blip, that I'll probably look back at with a lot of nostalgia in the future. 🥹
Last project developed without the help of AI. 😅

I'm extremely grateful for the talented individuals I've been given the chance to work with, the community of creators and players, and investors for their continued support.

We'll remove the app from the store and tear down servers around the end of the summer.

Couldn't compete with Roblox, but died trying.
Wishing all the best to others going down this path, I'll always be happy to discuss our experience if it can help.

I'll use this thread to post a bunch of pictures and anecdotes.
