    DotBigBang – Multiplayer game engine with 120fps and 2 second load time▲269

    With all the turmoil in the game engine world recently, I thought I'd quickly post to show progress on our game platform dotbigbang.com. It's a fully integrated game platform where the multiplayer game editor and games all run on the web. You can make multiplayer games and share them with just a link with no setup at all. Breakdown of major features here: https://twitter.com/bobbydigitales/status/152647067103481856...

    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

    Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 years▲229

    I'm making a platform for simple open source games you can play anywhere. Games are all just JavaScript classes and you can read the source of every game on the platform. I started working on initial "games" (mostly rendering tests) in 2018 and eventually built all of the platform stuff around it to make it easy to share games. There's also an in-browser editor available for you to make and publish games all from the browser. Would love some feedback on the games and studio features as well as the platform overall. All of the code is available at https://github.com/homegamesio

    Krock.io▲156

    Hey HN! I built KROCK.io, a video collaboration tool made for animation and video production teams. I used to run an animation studio where managing Frame.io seats was a nightmare: constantly adding/removing freelancers, limiting client access, and watching per-user costs pile up. KROCK.io fixes that. It’s built around one simple idea: unlimited seats, unlimited projects. Pay for storage and features, not for people. You can comment on frames, track versions, set approvals, and collaborate not just on file sharing, but through the entire production workflow. Highlights: - Unlimited team…
