Blip is aUser Generated Social Universe, an online platform where all items, avatars, games, and experiences are made by users from the community.

It's a limitless building environment inspired by Roblox, but designed to be as welcoming and accessible as Minecraft.

• Hobbyists, Experts, Beginners...
• Developers, Artists, Avatar designers, Home builders, Decorators, etc.
• For those going solo as well as for those seeking collaboration.

Developers can script right from within Blip, on all platforms (yes, including mobile):

• All experiences in Blip are scripted inLua.

• Developers can script both client and server sides. (Blip provides a free scalable server infrastructure for real-time multiplayer)

• Blip system APIs are documented here:docs.cu.bzh/reference

• Higher-level APIs are available in the form of open-sourcemodules, hosted on GitHub. Here's how you can import them:

  Modules= {fire="github.com/aduermael/modzh/fire" }Client.OnStart=function()Player:SetParent(World)Camera:SetModeThirdPerson()f=fire:create()f:SetParent(Player)-- now Player is on fireend

  

• Blip API documentation is generated from thelua folder in that repository.

All features are bundled into one comprehensive cross-platform application; there's no separate "studio" app for creators.

Blip runs on its own in-house C/C++ engine, using theBGFX library for cross-platform rendering.

• iOS / iPadOS
• Android
• Windows
• macOS
• Web Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Most communication among contributors, players, and creators takes place on theofficial Discord server.

• The main components of Blip are open source (C engine, CLI, Lua modules,.3zhvoxel file format).
• It's not yet possible to build the app itself; we're actively working on open-sourcing missing parts to allow it.
• The goal is for Blip to become an engine anyone could fork to deploy their own custom User Generated Content platform.
