AI Analysis

●●●BangerWizardryBold Bet

Byte-identical Rust voxel engine running on web and iOS without rewriting a thing.

Strengths
  • •Single codebase targeting web, mobile, and desktop with identical behavior.
  • •Multiplayer building works in early stage, which is notoriously hard in voxel games.
  • •Solo dev shipped cross-platform game engine after asking HN for advice last year.
Weaknesses
  • •Early stage with missing features; unclear what's actually playable today.
  • •Voxel sandbox is a crowded genre competing against Minecraft, Veloren, etc.

Post Description

last year I asked HN for gamedev tips because I never made a game before and it was very helpful to build something I want

now I somehow ended up building a multiplayer voxel sandbox in Rust. Same engine runs on web/ios/mac/windows and stays byte-identical

it is still early and a lot is missing, but multiplayer building already works and it feels kind of insane to me

would love any feedback if something feels broken/confusing/not fun
