What is Deviap?
A cross-platform open source engine with one aim: to simplify the process of developing online 3D multiplayer experiences.

Join our Discord ServerWe manage and scale the infrastructure required for low latency multiplayer experiences at no cost, that's one less thing to worry about.
Building your content in an open-source platform has one major advantage: your experiences are truely yours, and not held back by some closed source platform.
One of the fun ideas behind Deviap was to make language bindings relatively easy to implement. Currently, we have LuaJIT and C#(.NET6).*
Experiences created with Deviap embrace our platform agnostic API, which means that they will work on any platform Deviap supports. We generally want to support as many platforms as possible!
We love VS Code, so we created a VS Code extension that allows you to debug your experiences on any device, remotely or not.
Deviap has a built in "package manager" of sorts. For example, we use it to publish useful libraries for getting started with developing games.
Our command line interface is quite nice, you can run command line tools created by others or write your own using C# or Lua.
We use similar tech to what you might see in Web Browsers to keep your users safe. Applications with Deviap must explicitly request access before being granted access to things such as your filesystem.
We've played around with 3D and physics, but for now let's just say they're a WIP.
The command line interface is kinda nifty, have a look:
> deviap Deviap deviap <command> Usage: deviap run <app> deviap init deviap install <package> deviap alias <alias> <package>
> deviap init
Loading deviap/init from deviap.com

devigen - Initialise a new project!
This tool was written with .NET 6 and Deviap
Package name:
> deviap run rb-conv ./my-inferior-file.example ./my-superior-output.deviob Loading john/rb-conv from deviap.com This one hasn't actually been written yet, oh my!
Here is a basic summary of what might happen when. This is a rough timescale, things could be early or late, Deviap is currently maintained by 1 developer.
Announce Deviap and kinda explain what it is.
Hmm, we should be working on a docs site between 1 and 3...
Release documentation and messy source code (feel free to fix this) and initial binaries for developer consumption.
Release networking support, infrastructure and begin alpha testing
General update (tbc) - improvements to physics, graphics, networking
Release a general update (tbc)
VR, AR, More platforms?
Experience with C++ and interested in helping maintain our open-source engine? Or maybe you want to create something epic with Lua or C#? Or maybe you just wanna help build a lovely community?
Join our Discord Server* Quite a bit of this was shamelessly thrown together without any sanity or thought about performance. We might need to refactor a lot since this is a game engine we're talking about, but who cares? If it works, it works, right? What?
