1 commentsI wanted to share Niantic Studio, a new browser-based creation tool for building 3D games and AR experiences for the web. I'm the founder of 8th Wall, which was acquired by Niantic Labs a couple years ago, and Niantic Studio is the evolution of the 8th Wall platform – adding a new visual editor, web gaming engine, and finally opening up the platform for everyone to use with a new free tier for personal use and game development. It's in public beta and could benefit from lots of feedback, but I'm excited to see what you build with it.
