Magma Studio – multiplayer drawing/art platform for game dev/animation

In plain words

Magma Studio is a web-based collaborative drawing platform designed for game developers and animators to create art together in real time. Multiple users can join a single canvas to draw simultaneously, with support for pressure sensitivity on iPad and Wacom tablets. The platform uses WebGL and WebAssembly for responsive performance and allows users to create drawings and share links to invite collaborators, though each canvas has a 30-user limit during active sessions.

From the sources

Create on a shared canvas in real time. Magma is a drawing platform for artists and teams to sketch, collaborate, and grow together.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey, I'm the co-founder of Magma and coded huge chunks of the product. My other co-founder Radek coded the collaborative drawing engine in Typescript with parts in Web Assembly and also using WebGL - that's why it has a native app feel. If you have an iPad or a Wacom tablet we support pressure sensitivity (enable…

  Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  A collaborative pixel drawing game for when you're bored2022 · pixel.vkoskiv.com · ▲69

  Hello HN. This is a project me and some friends built at university in 2017. It was originally built in a rush, but we've added a few improvements over the years. It's a fun game to host at a demoparty and project on a big screen - We did that at Instanssi many times. The implementation is still rough, and suffers from the fast pace of the modern web - The frontend is likely very outdated, and the backend is built with Vapor 2 and Swift 3.1, both no longer supported. You can host this yourself, but it might be a bit of a pain to set up. The WebSocket protocol is fairly trivial to work out…

  I made a web game called Almost Pong▲1,135

  Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
