Show HN: Brickbrag – A multiplayer brick-building world in the browser

neuling

Hi HN! Eight days ago I set out to build a cozy little brick builder for the browser. Then it escalated. A bit. Maybe a lot. Now it’s a GTA-style open brick world: drive cars, ride buses, take off from the airfield and fly over the city, race on the track, claim your own lot and build together with everyone else, brick by brick. Built with Claude Code (Opus 5.5), three.js, Node and SQLite. My 9-year-old was the main playtester. Feedback welcome, especially what breaks!

Mouse movement doesn't seem to work with Chrome on Mac. Looks good though!

Wow. It has build-in physics that checks your structure stability.

BTW: Except in the city center and on the streets, you can build anywhere, and everyone can collaborate. If you’d like to build on your own, buy a lot with in-game coins. Then only you can place and remove bricks there.

This is dangerous... I just lost a couple of hours having a quick look. Well done!

Second Life with legos?

Can someone tell me what the appeal of games like this is? If I wanted to play with Legos I could already do that in the real world, with my real friends.

Interesting idea! Wasn't able to play it at high enough performance, but I'll keep an eye open for updates!

i was caught immediately in the brick store in the tut (after learning to view,wasd and jump) whenever i try to exit the store the menu pops up, when i esc out, i am in again... leaving the store triggers it again...
