Turbo Game Engine Takes Off on Eclipse

We are excited to announce that Turbo will be launching on Eclipse. Developers building onchain games can now access an easy-to-use, low-code 2D game engine that enables anyone to build and deploy games.

This partnership is a significant milestone in Eclipse’s gaming ecosystem and supports our vision of building a vibrant game developer community to launch Eclipse native games that uniquely benefit from our high-performance execution environment.

“Eclipse’s approach to high throughput low latency performance is foundational to the future of web3 games. We’re enthusiastic about working together to empower the next generation of game developers and gamers.” - Julian Moncada Co-Founder of Turbo

What is Turbo?

Turbo is a next-generation 2D game engine built for making games fast. Turbo aims to make it possible for anyone to create a game in any genre in < 24 hours that can run on any platform or device. It uses WebAssembly + WebGPU, so it can run anywhere (even headlessly). In addition, games hot-reload whenever code, shaders, or sprites are modified, and Turbo’s built-in APIs are aimed to help you create games with minimal code.

Turbo on Eclipse

By launching Turbo on Eclipse, builders can develop onchain games that utilize Eclipse’s high-performance and low block times. On Eclipse, games built with Turbo can finalize state transitions in under a second given Eclipse’s 400ms block times, and onchain transactions will benefit from Eclipse’s isolated fee markets and parallel execution, meaning that regardless of any other pieces of hot state across the network, game state transitions and in-game transactions will still occur with low fees.

Call for Game Developers (Or Even Non-Developers)

With Turbo, creating a game is as easy as referencing a few lines of code in Turbo’s documents, and changing certain variables. If you have a simple 2D game idea, you can build an onchain game using Turbo (if you can dream it, you can build it). If that’s still too complicated for you, Turbo has created an AI agent, Turbo Game Developer GPT, as a starting point for your game creation. If there is a game that you have always wanted to create, whether that be a game centered around your favorite memecoin, your favorite crypto character, or an NFT collection, Turbo enables you to create that game easily.
