Just wrapped up the blockout for my game Powerball 🥎
Built with @threejs.org + @fastapi.tiangolo.com 🚀 — runs in your browser, no installs.
Still early & a bit rough, but I’d ❤️ your thoughts!
10 playtest slots open until 20:45 UTC 👀

Added mobile controls! 📱
I tried different ways to keep strafing without using two joysticks.
Now there’s a single joystick with two perimeters — the outer ring for walking, the inner ring for looking.
What do you think? Try it 👉

This is my current solution for third-person camera clipping in three.js. It works, but it’s far from perfect 😵 💫
What would you suggest to improve it?

Gamedev math: 2h = 2w, 2w = 2d 🤯
Some tasks I thought would take forever were done in days. Others I expected to be quick dragged on for weeks.
Examples:
✔️ ball bouncing
✔️ Arm up, ready to throw
That last was very tricky – AdditiveAnimationBlendMode messed up many animations

Moodboard for my Powerball level. The map will have two equally important parts:
🗼 Tatlin-inspired vertical tech-steel zone with pipes and platforms
🌱 an urban-guerrilla-gardening inspired horizontal maze-like area

Turned my cardboard model into a Blender file ? Now the main architecture for my Powerball level is set! I’m thinking of surrounding it with a mix of guerrilla-gardening park and maze.

Trying to sketch the main building for my Powerball map – inspired by Tatlin’s Tower. But I couldn’t wrap my head around it on paper… so I built a cardboard model instead.
How do you usually start your level designs? Sketching, or straight into 3D? Really curious to hear 👀

Created a logo and the first UI for my game Powerball 🔴
Here’s a look at the menu with settings and a short explanation of the game concept.

The fifth and final Powerball character is also from outer space… it looks like a jelly-like courgette 🥒🪐
Still nameless ‼️ any suggestions?

The fourth Powerball character represents the animal side of the world: a monkey in polka-dot underwear.🐒
Still under construction – his movement is a bit stiff, and the
arm looks odd while walking.
✨ Any tips for improvement?

The third Powerball character is Zeya310a. Born from an experiment to create the perfect athlete, she didn’t gain size or strength… but unmatched precision. She may not be the biggest, but she’s one of the most dangerous.
Do you prefer small or big characters? 🤔

The second Powerball character is Eggegg.
The name is misleading – he’s from outer space and here to help humans.
His shape has nothing to do with an egg. It’s his massive brain merged with the rest of his body.
🤔 Would you like to play as Eggegg?

Over the next days I’ll introduce the 5 characters of Powerball – from sketches to their current in-game look.
The first one never had a sketch. Modeled directly in Blender for testing, simply called ‘guy’.
Now I see the topology is bad 🙈. Should I rework him or start fresh?

Sketch → prototype: testing character movement in my very first mini-level.
