### [Dims][dims-website]

[Dims][dims-website] ([Twitter][dims-twitter], [Discord][dims-discord],
[YouTube][dims-youtube]) is a pre-alpha collaborative open-world
creation platform.
Users can hop in sessions and build a game together, allowing everyone
to bring out their inner game-maker.

In September, the platform continued to make steady progress, with new features
and bugfixes being made on a daily basis. The highlights are:

- The team's very first game of entirely scripted multiplayer Team Deathmatch 🎉
- All player logic was moved to the Rust scripting layer, allowing for it to be
changed on the fly
- The implementation of animation retargeting, so you can use any animation with
any model, as long as they share the same skeletal structure
- Scripting now has greater access to the ECS, allowing it to move the sun 🌅
- Initial work on an asset database and pipeline, so that you can import any
asset and use it amongst your Dims projects
- An all-new object manipulation/placement tool suite
- Objects can now be consistently stacked, moved as a group, placed within
each other, and more!
- Many other infrastructural changes and improvements, including macOS and
Linux builds

Want to try Dims out for yourself? Come join the [Discord][dims-discord] to be
notified of future public tests, see the latest features before everyone else,
and to talk to the devs personally.
