Hello Hytopians,
As many of you know from weekly updates, HYTOPIA is currently waiting on a large tax refund from the IRS. Without these funds, we are unable to continue covering the operational costs required to keep the project running in its current state.
We expected this refund to be resolved sooner, especially as we have been in communication with the IRS and have confirmed that the process is underway. In the meantime, our founders, @Temptranquil and @ArkDev, have been personally funding the project's operations for some time in an effort to keep things moving.
At this point, we are forced to temporarily pause HYTOPIA's infrastructure while we wait for the funds to be released. This means hytopia.com and other HYTOPIA-related websites and services will be taken offline for the time being in order to reduce hosting and operational costs.
Separately, our lack of operational funding has also contributed to an ongoing dispute with the HY Foundation regarding unpaid invoices. As a result, certain token-related deliverables are currently delayed while we work toward a resolution. We are actively working to settle on an amount that makes sense for both parties and to have the tokens released into the smart contracts they were originally intended for.
As a reminder, the HY Foundation is a separate entity from HYTOPIA. While we are actively engaged in resolving the matter, there are parts of this process that are not entirely within our direct control.
We currently expect downtime to last roughly 1–3 months while the IRS refund process is completed. Once the funds are received, we will provide another update with a clearer plan for next steps.
We understand this is difficult news, and we know it may create frustration, uncertainty, and concern within the community. We are doing everything we can to navigate this responsibly and transparently. For now, we ask that everyone take it day by day with us.
As always, your support means everything to us.
❤️
Team HYTOPIA

Neo was built to make things easier
- Easier for Devs to build, share and collaborate
- Easier for Gamers to jump in and play (Smooth games)
- Easier to share (1-Click link or QR Code)
- Easier to solve pain points
No experience just making crazy stuff using AI and Vibes
Mind-blowing what you can build with zero coding skills today! 🤯 I’m designing my own 3D Pokémon-like browser RPG using @threejs & @OpenAI (GPT-5.4). The barrier to game dev is officially gone, and I'm loving every second of it. 🎮✨ #NoCode #GameDev #AI

The only limitation you have at this point is your imagination!
What will you build next?!

細かい調整は日本語でAIに指示して修正したけど、AIがマジでなんでも作ってくれる🙌
無駄にガードモーションとローリングモーションを追加して２段ジャンプも出来ますww

You can monetize right now with neo. Microtransactions are live, we'll release documentation and guides eventually.
Whoever has the first (semi-polished at least) neo game live will get our hands-on support implementing it.

🚨 HYTOPIA-NEO, the next generation of the HYTOPIA framework, is live for testing.
Neo will quickly replace our old "HYTOPIA SDK" as the final generation of the HYTOPIA game client/server.
We'll be releasing a full announcement, overview & demo video soon, but if you're ambitious, here's how to get set up! 🧵👇

There is a massive opportunity in the UGC games space for whomever builds a fully networked (multiplayer) three.js native game engine with first-in-class support for vibe coding.
I have yet to see anyone doing this well, we've been exploring it a lot internally with @hytopia

Our upcoming "neo" engine takes UGC game dev to the next level.
- Three.js under the hood as the foundation
- Networked multiplayer
- First-in-class vibecoding support
Public release soon.
🚀🚀🚀
So... To understand the differences between the now open-sourced SDK of @hytopia and the newly released "neo" engine. I wanted to see if I could "port" my ROUTE game into the new engine.... ✅

what if... we take the amazing addicting gameplay mechanic from @PowerWashSim, and with the power of @threejs and @hytopia neo we create this 'paint the world' gameplay mechanic?
