    Hi HN, My name is George, and I am helping build an office focused VR headset called the “Simula One”. It was discussed recently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28695455. We have just opened our store for preorders (https://shop.simulavr.com), so that we and our backers can help people replace their old PCs/laptops with more capable VR headsets. We call our headset a “VR Computer” (or a “VRC”) to distinguish it from gaming headsets. When Simula was founded, most people thought the future of VR was in games & entertainment. The truth is that VR offers…

    I've been working on an MMORPG that is now in alpha as a solo developer. Here are the major open source technologies that I use: Blender - 3D modeling software for creating the overall environment and every game object. I've gotten a lot of CC and Public Domain assets from https://poly.pizza GLTF - I export assets from blender to the GLTF asset format JSON - I write a JSON config for every game object that describes things like its name, its interactions, its collisions, etc. Node.js exporter - I iterate over the environment and every asset to create a scene hierarchy. I use…

    I think it's finally time to lock version 0.2 of my 4d side project. (Since previous Show HN a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37100760 I scrapped lots of stuff and concentrated on making a javascript "game engine") The sole purpose of this project is to explore whether it's possible to make the human brain spatially aware of four dimensions using Virtual Reality. It’s my first ever game project, my first time using Unity, first time writing C#, and my first anything with WebXR, so please be gentle! To manage expectations, it isn't visually pleasing…

    We’ve been building GladeKit, an AI agent for Unity game development that works directly inside the editor. Instead of just generating code, it reads the actual project state: scene hierarchy, scripts, selected objects, component values, installed packages, and compiler errors - then takes actions inside Unity. What it does today: - 150+ native Unity actions (create prefabs, wire components, configure Animator Controllers, build UI, set up physics, lighting, and NavMeshes) - Reads real editor context before taking action - Project-aware modes for Agent, Debug, and Ask workflows -…

    Modd.io is a collaborative game editor that runs in browser. It's kind of like Figma for game dev. We made this engine low-code and multiplayer-first, so developeres can quickly prototype casual multiplayer games. I hope some of you guys will find this useful. Would love to hear feedback also. Thank you. Engine Demo: https://www.modd.io

    In the last few years I've been doing a lot of technical writing, both for my own programming blog and others, and I've noticed there is a lack of good tools for this kind of writing. Whether that was a programming blog post or documentation, I always had to move back an forth between different editors, and sometimes even other apps for content management and the actual content publication. A lot of copy-pasting, and wasted time. Based on this experience I decided to try and build a tool that could provide a good experience for this kind of content from writing to publishing. This (I call it…

    It took me 20 months to develop it in my spare time. I used Unity game engine, I did not have any game dev experience before. It was more complex that I thought at the begining, I spent lots of time on promotion, marketing, founding company, learning about the legal aspects of different parts, for example music. Some parts were easier than I expected. Unity makes it very easy to build for all three operating systems (Win, MacOs, Linux), I am not sure why more game devs are not using this possibility. I also like working on Steam as distribution system. It is not exactly easy for a newcomer,…

    Hey HN, I'm Ivan - Founder of Vratix. I left my job 7 months ago to build tools that make backend development easier. I started with an open source library of reusable Express.js API modules that got some traction. After talking to a lot of developers, one thing became clear - backend has been somewhat ignored by the recent wave of AI coding tools. That’s why I decided to create an AI pair programmer built and designed specifically for backend engineers. I spent the last 2 months building Line0 and today I am opening up the public beta to the world. With Line0 you can get a working backend…
