[@bananahammock924]

The only thing that stopped me from using Babylon was the first thing you showed with frame rates dropping, im not an expert game developer by any stretch of the imagination, not even a beginner imo, and i couldnt figure out how to make it render smoothly at all and it was frustrating, i might actually have to give it a more serious chance now

[@maximumcockage6503]

Do you have a link to the first physics drop? I'd like to test it out and compare and contrast it in webGL vs GPU to see if there's a performance difference for a 10,000 drop.

[@nialltracey2599]

I can't believe they brought out a Babylon 6. Everyone knows there wasn't a Babylon after Babylon 5...

[@nicolausteslaus]

What's next Adultlon?

[@alichamas63]

What you talkin about Willis?

[@akl2k7]

Also, uh, where are Londo and G'Kar?

[@Jianju69]

Can Havok physics in BabylonJS handle bone & muscle simulation?

[@meetdavidothespy]

The closed captions say "gay from scratch" :D

[@UTTheLaw]

Hahah. I had to check for myself. LOL, good catch! 😂

[@krisdabo-yh8bq]

❤ awsome

[@emoneydatruth1]

Any updates on visual scripting engines?

[@AndrossMoonah]

Could this be a worthwhile alternative to Unity and Unreal Engine? I wonder if you can 3D model and animate like in Blender.

[@bigali69190]

I wonder why Js over webassembly? Isnt webassembly almost like native c++ running on your browser?

[@igorthelight]

Because it's harder ;-)

[@maximumcockage6503]

The Havok physics is written in WASM though.

[@joshua42777]

It was the dawn the of third age of mankind...

[@onerimeuse]

All alone in the night This deserves the pin, for sure.

[@allanm6246]

It must be the dawn of the forth one by now

[@EduardKaresli]

What is the use case for such an engine/library? Obviously this is not meant for desktop gaming, for that we have the big guys out there (Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc.). Maybe for simple browser/mobile gaming and/or graphics applications?? 🤔

[@Sim2322]

Babylon is engine. Havok is library. You can use a librairy in whatever program you want to program. An engine is just basically a collection of many libraries (physics, UI, inputs, graphics, particles, etc...)

[@Elwaves2925]

Seems like a decent update but it's not an engine I'd use. Slightly off-topic, but do you have any interest/plans in covering Unreal Editor for Fortnite? I don't care one single bit for Fortnite as a game but the editor kinda intrigues me to see what it can do.

[@gamefromscratch]

I am not sure about UEFN, but I am certainly looking at aspects of it. Specifically the Verse language and new store, which debuted there.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@gamefromscratch Whatever you do or don't feel like covering. I suspect it's too closely tied to the game to be much use outside of it. Cheers.

[@mr.m2675]

is the havok engine good? i just know that people of Garrys Mod are way more impressed with the volt engine "Volt (VPhysics Jolt) is a replacement physics module for the Source Engine"

[@DMitsukirules]

Volt is just jolt, by the way

[@BeyondImaginationzz]

Jolt is amazing , one of the physics engine that was able to use multicore properly

[@zarodgaming1844]

and not a single line of code was shown 🦍

[@UncleDavid]

useless talking ass channel lol

[@Beanibirb]

First

[@Jianju69]

2nd.

Number

[@andrew121410]

Lost me at JavaScript

[@igorthelight]

What about TypeScript? ;-) A little bit better

[@kkemal59]

Havok dead :D

[@MaikForza-pl5fr]

Comment (dead):D

[@leeoiou7295]

Javascript Game Engine? lol. All these effort can be put into making a better, open-source C# or Rust engine. The limitations that come with javascript means that this engine will never be used for anything serious. Slap in 3 million vertices of meshes with lots of complex colliders, couple of lights, animations and UI and this engine will easily fall apart. this demo here is not impressive for a serious game engine.

[@tawandagamedevs]

C# pathetic haha

[@tawandagamedevs]

Thats how you sound. Anything can make a game enginr

[@igorthelight]

Not sure that JS/TS developers would create NON-JS game engine ;-)

[@drgedyatmadja]

No point creating another C# engine. It's already oversaturated.

[@MaikForza-pl5fr]

What a dumb and useless comment. You could give it a try and give some feedback on it. Instead you writing a dumb and useless comment.

[@blackjew6827]

Babylon 6 vs Godot?
