    Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years. Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going. I didn't really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected. It's sort of like a low-budget Unreal/Source, but with open-world streaming support and it is free and open source. Very old-school. But optimized for more modern hardware. Very fast too. Still not production ready, but it seems like it is…

    Hey HN, I am Niko. I've built this 3D Dino Game In browser using tech like three.js and MoveNet (tensorflow). Basically, it's a normal 3D dinosaur game with a twist: you need to actually perform actions irl to avoid obstacles. Duck to crouch, jump to jump, raise left hand - go left, raise right hand - go right. Game is using your phone/laptop camera to track your body movements and perform in-game actions. PS. Game is 100% client side and I don't record/track/use/save any of your data Hope you find it worth playing. (better play on PC) It's a 100% FREE browser game with…

    Hi HN, I made a keyboard emulator that tracks your body pose and emits the key presses accordingly. My main motivation was to make my kids move more on rainy days. I already made a couple of mini-games using the body pose [1-3], and those were definitely fun to make and play! However, once the kids learned the tricks, they got bored. I could only produce that much content myself, and soon realized that I lack time for churning out games. Finally, I decided to tap into an endless pool of PC games, preferrably simple and less addictive ones like the Gameboy and DOS games. This project has been…
