Dreamlab

Dreamlab is a game engine that lets developers build multiplayer games quickly with modern web technology. Using AI tools, it also lets developers create game assets like levels, characters and props with a few clicks. That means developers can concentrate on game design instead of asset creation.

Dreamlab has a few big features:

• Real-Time Multiplayer: Invite friends and play games together directly on any platform, either with a link or through integration with Discord.
• AI-Generated Assets: Create rich assets like levels, characters and props with AI models.
• Simplified Development: Write games in JavaScript or TypeScript, and Dreamlab takes care of the multiplayer netcode and the infrastructure underneath.
• Web-Based Development: Write games in the browser, with real-time collaboration and editing.
• Publish Anywhere: Publish games as standalone web apps or embed them into Discord as Discord Activities.

Dreamlab is geared for developers who want to build multiplayer games fast. The AI tools are useful for rapid creation of assets, which can be a big time sink. The engine supports TypeScript and has an AI coding assistant built in to suggest code completions.

Dreamlab is a browser-based interface, so you can get started without downloading anything or setting up a project. It's designed for modern browsers, so you can develop and play games on whatever hardware you have lying around. You can publish games as standalone web apps or embed them into Discord for a wider audience.

Pricing details aren't clear, but Dreamlab has a grant and support program for developers who want to build games for the Discord App Pitches event. That program offers financial and technical support to help developers build their games.
