Somehow there's always this negativity when something's free and open-source - please keep doing what you're doing. I'm a happy Element & Matrix user every day, and this additional R&D effort is very cool too.
- Arathorn 4y agoThanks :) To be clear, Third Room really is a groundbreaking thing completely irrespective of Matrix - it ties together glTF, Three.js, bitECS and Rapier to produce an entirely new web-first game engine called Manifold, capable of native grade performance in browser thanks to heavy use of SharedArrayBuffers and Atomics. The fact we then use Matrix for decentralised e2ee networking and storage is just the cherry on top. Frankly, the metaverse scene desperately needed an entirely open source, open standards based platform, without financial incentives - similar to the open web but for realtime spatial content, and we kinda hope Third Room could be it.
