I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers. Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users. The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view…

MillionBalls is a web-based simulator meant to improve your real-life game. This is targeted beginner-intermediate level players who want to learn to visualize shots better. Unlike typical pool simulators this one constrains you to the views you see as a player at a pool table rather than overhead or other unrealistic views. You'll receive immediate feedback about your aim and historical performance.

Hi there! I have been a huge fan of pinballs for a few months, discovering all pinballs that are in my city, and I converted quite a few friends to it. The only problem was that we wanted to keep an eye on everyone's score and I always did it in some notes on my phone. This was not very practical. I decided to create a small website so that all my friends can add their scores while we're playing in a gig. The app is minimalistic on purpose: no user authentication, no call to any fancy Pinball API whatsoever. I just need a list of players, gigs, pinballs and scores. The app is built with…

Neverball is a rolling ball game in the vein of Super Monkey Ball. I ported it to the browser via Emscripten with some tweaks to integrate well with the browser. It feels solid on desktop and mobile, to me. That said, I'm just one guy. A question to HN readers: your impressions on what's good, what's bad and what's missing?
