Phaser World Issue 246


Hey, builder! ๐
Buckle up. Phaser AE v2 is here with terrain, oceans, deformable snow, voxel worlds, ten game logic packs, and a lot more โ plus the exact prompts to get all of it from the agent ๐ฌโ
Phaser 4.2 also dropped with a brand-new Spine renderer, Mesh2D, and stencil APIs.
And if you've been wondering why the Game Agent builds things Phaser 4 can't, Richard finally wrote it all down. Worth a read ๐
Scroll down. It's all there ๐
This week:
โญ Phaser AE v2: Everything that's new, and how to ask for it
Last week we told you about Phaser AE v2 ๐ This week, here's everything that's in it and exactly what to type to get it. Just describe the game you want and the agent works out the rest ๐
Terrain, water and a sky that actually moves
One call gives you a seeded heightfield: islands, hills, mountains, dunes. Characters and balls sit on the ground properly because the terrain has a real heightmap under it. The ocean has Gerstner waves, soft foam on the shoreline, and boats that float correctly. And the sky runs a full day/night cycle from a single number โ drag it from noon through sunset into a starry night and everything in the scene follows ๐๐

Snow that remembers where you've been
Carve a run down a mountain and your tracks stay there, hundreds of metres back up the slope. The ruts are real geometry, not a decal, so they change what you ride over. Sand heals shut over time. Snow doesn't โท๏ธโ๏ธ

Voxel worlds, with the controls already done
A chunked, editable block volume with a finished world generator: islands, plains, hills, mountains. First-person controls, block breaking and placing, AI mobs, a full mobile touch layout. The whole Minecraft-style rig, from a description ๐ฉ๐คฉ

And that's before the ten game logic packs: Match-3 with specials and combos, proper Tetris with wall kicks and T-spins, Sokoban with undo, Minesweeper with a first-click-safe guarantee, 2048, Snake, Puzzle Bobble and more. Plus a new Files workbench to read your game's source, assets and build reports directly in the browser.
The article has the prompts to get all of it. Go try something daft ๐ฅ๐
โญ Phaser 4.2 Is Out: New Spine Renderer, Mesh2D, Stencil APIs and More
Phaser 4.2 is out ๐ The headline is a brand-new Spine renderer that batches Spine and Phaser objects together, cutting draw calls and making Spine a first-class citizen in Phaser 4 โจ
Also new: Mesh2D, Stencil APIs, a second tint colour, and cone lights contributed by the community. Available now on GitHub and npm ๐
โญ Phaser 4 vs Phaser AE: What's the Difference and Which One Is for You
Wait, Phaser does 3D now? Sort of. Kind of. It's complicated โ and Richard finally wrote it all down ๐ If you've been confused about what the Game Agent actually builds, why you can't find the 3D functions in the docs, or what "Phaser AE" even means, this is the one to read. Clear, honest, and a little bit of a page-turner for a technical explainer โจ๏ธ๐ญ
๐ฌ The agent didn't stop building: Twelve new games, some already on Phaser AE v2
The agent kept building this week. A lantern dodger, a squirrel platformer, a geometry jumper, a farming sim, a chess game, an underwater mining game, a neon racer, a first-person shooter, a football brawler, a space shmup, a colour puzzle, and a robot arena battle โ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐พ Some of them are already running on Phaser AE v2 โ you can spot the difference. Every single one built from a single sentence. What would you describe? ๐ฌ

๐ฅ Fresh From the Web This Week
ยป Fuel Field: From Phaser University Project to Mobile and Web Roguelite
