My new years resolution 2025 was to start learning @threejs.org so I got myself the @bruno-simon.bsky.social threejs journey course! Managed to get a basic prototype with networked players/local physics and basic rendering in blender! Now to fix performance issues. #threejs #tresjs @tresjs.org 🥳 🙌

First time playing around with menu music. 2 separate layers to give a nice transition when you enter the game by turning off the drum track and then slowly fading out the synths

Implemented @threejs.org PositionalAudio last night and wow does it make a huge difference even with such a simple change.

PVP NOW WORKS!!!

Next up will be taking damage instead of instant death. Most important part was the death mechanic itself and the respawn.

Started working on a looting mechanic for cars last night. Started with hinge points / rotation constraints in blender and then brought it into threejs as animations.

Will make a #devlog to cover the setup of this too!

Just rolled out the first in a few major performance updates. Should be noticeably smoother on laptop/desktop devices. Mobile performance still to come. Will be covering the main points in the next #devlog

First attempt at a #devlog. Definitely gonna take some time to get used to talking to the camera. Sorry about the 'uuhm`s' and 'eems' the nerves got to me 😅

Biggest update to date out now! Procedural terrain / vegetation generation across networked clients & shadow map updates correctly now with the player moving. Also fixed some movement bugs.

Fixed a bug with the physics world not destroying bodies after a player disconnects. 40 active connections with a cpu load of 65% with just very basic optimisation seems amazing. This is on a €3.20 / month hetzner instance...

Just deployed endless procedural terrain generation to the server. Come check it out.

Next up fixing spawning of entities on the terrain (currently floating)

Weekend progress: Server generates procedural chunks & sends out to all connected clients + physics mesh automatically matches the terrain! Need to fix the tiling now (im assuming its the shadowmap as the next chunk was missing when it was updated)

Got a working minimap finished last night! Rendering separate shapes to a different layer / separate canvas. So much to dig into.
