What if the 3D world you built could become a cartridge on your game shelf?
Nova64 is getting closer to that idea, with native and WebAssembly support through RetroArch and a RetroBridge prototype that brings .nova cartridges into a Jellyfin library.
The latest update also explores switching between Three.js and the experimental Babylon.js backend, plus m{ai}geXR templates created with Qwen running locally.
Coming next: Scene Weaver. Connect scene cards, turn those connections into portals, and play a journey through your worlds. The article includes a preview of Rift Run in action.
What worlds would you connect first?

Nova64 meets RetroArch and Jellyfin. Scene Weaver is coming next.
Playable cartridges, native and browser runtimes, and a first look at Scene Weaver: connect 3D worlds into an adventure in m{ai}geXR.

A sideboard you can walk around, open and re-finish, right in the browser.
A concept demo for Eke Meubels, the Dutch furniture maker: their sideboard with a built-in record player, shown in real-time 3D.
→ Drag to walk around it, scroll to zoom
→ Open the record-player lid, the drawers and the doors
→ Four finishes: oak veneer, okoumé plywood, teak and matt black
→ Dimension lines, a slider against a photo of the finished piece, and AR to place it in your room
It's built on the SketchUp designs Eke already makes: one export per project, no extra modelling.
Would seeing a piece in 3D change how you buy furniture online?
Here’s a little piece from my current project. As I watch the Swiss design concept become a part of my creative DNA, I find myself constantly gravitating towards this direction in web design.
What’s really interesting is that Volume 3 studio and I are experimenting here, mixing things that seem completely unmixable at first glance.
Since Volume 3 is a CGI and VFX studio, it was crucial to incorporate a 3D dimension into their brand communication. On top of that, a Terminal UI is exactly what keeps that technical vibe going.
So, the final mix is International (Swiss) style, a Terminal UI, and a 3D feel brought to life by neumorphism. Crazy, right???
It looks simple and clean, but behind the scenes, there’s a massive amount of work on the details. We focused on all those little things that push the UX/UI into the premium segment — the things you don't necessarily see right away, but you definitely feel when you're on the page.
The work is still ongoing, so I can't dive into reflecting on the whole process just yet, but I'm gonna keep revealing small parts here.
Swiss grids on the web never get old when they're this clean. What are you and Volume 3 mixing it with?
I built Expeditione—an Interactive 3D Encyclopedia that has reached visitors in 70+ countries—with one rule: keep each scene at ~1MB at 60fps so it runs on ordinary computers without choking.
It ended up winning GSAP Site of the Day and #3 on Product Hunt, and now I’m opening up bandwidth for remote contract.
If your studio or team needs dedicated craft on a lightweight 3D web experience, an interactive launch, or a living visual system, shoot me a message and let's build something memorable.
Congrats on Site of the Day!
