Always good to see more game engines coming out. Might I make a suggestion though. For your hero video on the site, I would expect it to be showing off the multiplayer aspect of the engine. Rendering environments, even in extreme detail, is considered table stakes for a game engine. Show off your unique selling point, making multiplayer games much easier than with a different engine.


I found it very funny that the "multiplayer game engine" hero video had... 0 players in it.


Zero is plural in English.


:| :| You got me there


I am seeing multi cars in the screenshots, maybe those are controlled by the players :)


Ambient co-founder here. You're right, thanks for the feedback, we'll update the website with one soon.


Regarding that video, stuttering on a travelling content made me tick. Video has a lot of duplicate frames, not in a perfect ratio of the encoded 60Hz.

• Check https://global-uploads.webflow.com/63e51fd138280b42988eb5e6/... in VLC, pause the video then press the "e" key to advance frame by frame.

• Open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_BaT3LDwo8, advance with the "." (dot) key.


I was wondering what was going on. I'm sensitive to low refresh rates (my screen is 144Hz, had 2 concussions) but watching that video was nauseating.


Exactly, the video shown seems just like a 3d model and the camera going through it, something that could have been done in e.g. Blender with nothing to do with games.


the blog post announcing it has a bunch more info and videos https://www.ambient.run/post/introducing-ambient
