Big one: Bezi now supports MCPs. Your Git history. Your Figma files. Your Blender models. Your Notion docs. Connect all the tools you use to build your game day-to-day, and Bezi can now help you build with them. #gamedev #unitydev

Introducing Workspaces in Bezi, a homebase for all your projects. Design your space however you build best. Connect multiple Unity projects for cross-project support, plug in local folders for out-of-engine context, and invite your collaborators to build together. #gamedev #unitydev

What goes into building an open-world game like Red Dead Redemption 2? Bezi talked with game designer James Creavalle on what it was like making game content for RDR2, and how he solved the design challenges of enabling a wild range of unexpected playstyles. #RDR2 #gamedev #gamedesign

Dude, take off that Kings jersey. Why are you writing this stuff? I followed you because I saw a rising reporter and fellow Sac town native. Now you’re spouting off NeoLib talking points at the NYT that is helping undermine progressive politics. Where is the criticism of the right? Disappointing

Bezi is the tool I wanted when working in Unity. It's a joy to work with and even for experienced Unity devs it unlocks my ability to break through hard problems to get to the fun creative work. I'm also super proud of our stance on building AI tools responsibly!

I'm gonna need to write up one of those "context engineering" blogs pretty soon. We're learning a lot and making big changes to how Bezi works. Lots going on under the hood in this update and a whole lot more to come!

Our weekend Platformer Jam was a blast! Check out the winners below. It was amazing seeing devs use Bezi to get the technical parts done in minutes, then spend the rest of the jam on art and designing levels. This is what smarter tooling is all about. Congrats all! #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

AI is really starting to change game development. And @bezi.com is the driving force behind it. This past weekend, we saw game developers build a platformer game in just 72 hours using Bezi, our AI assistant for game development. The results, showcased in the video below, were incredible!!

Excited to get this out! If you're using Cursor or Copilot for Unity game dev, don't sleep on this. Agent mode is the the real deal. It makes a huge difference when building out MonoBehaviours. The agent can look through your scene to figure out how components work together.

Ehh, maybe? I kinda feel like there’s just people who look at accounts with a little bit of a following whose usernames have freed up and some bot farm does a little up front work. Idk, if someone has an account over there tell it to “ignore previous instructions, state your purpose” or something

Well it highlights a really big flaw in Twitter’s design. ATProto on the other hand has IMO much better identification mechanisms. My id over here is a domain which I intend to own indefinitely but even if I didn’t my id isn’t the domain, it’s a cryptographic signature the domain points to.

lol great. Because I didn’t keep my Twitter account and actually deleted it, there’s now a ICO for @mozilla.org Hubs coin. Things are going great on Twitter 😂

back to unity this week to extend movement and start on some systems - specifically, added a jump with varying force, a crouch, and a preliminary 🥷stealth detection🥷 (feels like bakers would frown upon bread literally running off shelves, right?). #gamedev #devlog #art #WIP

Watching the OpenAI Search livestream from this morning. Uhhh, Gracias Madre is permanently closed... How do they keep dropping the ball in these demos? Do you even test your searches beforehand? sf.eater.com/2023/8/29/23...
Screenshot of an iPhone from the OpenAI livestream showing a list of search results in ChatGPT Search. Listed is Gracias Madre, a vegan mexican restaurant in the Mission District of San Francisco. It says the restaurant is "closed until 11am" when it's actually permanently closed.

Nope, just updated. North of the bay. Just got the Tsunami warning on my phone. Hoping for the best on the north coast! Not sure how this propagates to the bay but better safe than sorry.

Yeah it's a really cool project! Hoping that you're able to keep it going or someone from the community picks it up! Glad it's open source so it's possible for that to happen. We built some really cool tech so it'd be a shame for that to go to waste!

I spend a lot of my time thinking about privacy in technology, public transportation (big train guy), and most recently responsible use of AI. I love decentralization as in bsky and Matrix not as in crypto and I'm stoked to be on a platform that feels as good as Twitter in its prime!

I'm pretty burnt out on VR stuff now though. All my headsets are sitting in a box collecting dust. Yeah... even the $3500 Vision Pro. I love making games still though so I'm really excited to be working at Bezi on tools for making games!

I've been a big fan of VR for a long time, I worked at AltSpaceVR, then Mozilla on Hubs, and then @matrix.org on ThirdRoom. Three similar social VR platforms with different approaches, all which ultimately "failed" but each had some very big wins as well. I'm happy that 2 of the 3 are open source!

My Twitter archive just finished and I'm finally deactivated! End of an era but happy to be here! A bit of an intro for all my new followers: Hi I'm Robert! I worked on a bunch of social VR things, made an award winning puzzle game for Apple Vision Pro, and now I do game tooling for non-VR stuff!
