Meet Static
STATIC. ON YOUR SIDE.
A real computer in a translucent shell. A face made of red dots. Static is the accomplice who helps turn your idea into a game.
MAKE YOUR
OWN
GAMES.
Describe a game.
Play it on your TV.
Threebox is a game console for making your own worlds. Talk to Static, your AI accomplice. Make a game. Own the code. Take it anywhere.

BRING YOUR
STRANGE IDEA.
A racer with no brakes. A moon you can garden. A platformer where the floor has opinions.
Start small. Make a mess. Pass the controller. We’re building Threebox for people who would rather try an idea than wait for permission.
SMALL GAMES.MORE POSSIBILITIES.
TALK. HACK. PLAY.
An idea, a conversation, a game on your TV.
Meet the box that connects them.
TB-P0.1STATIC: IDLE
Hardware in development. Final compute, materials, cooling and fit are still being tested or decided.
Talk
SAY THE STRANGE PART.
YOU → STATICMake the floor lava, but only on odd levels.
The planned controller mic sends your request to Static, our open-source voice coding tools.
Illustrated workflow. No mic access. Nothing recorded.
Hack
CHANGE THE GAME. KEEP THE CODE.
Static changes your project and pushes a new build. Threebox loads it and runs the game locally on your TV. You keep the source, and you decide what stays.
Play
GRAB THE CONTROLLER.
Try the level. Find the jump that’s too far. Ask Static to change it. That’s the loop: talk, hack, play, repeat.
A preview of the planned workflow. Controller audio and hosting remain in development.
Make it yours
ORDINARY SCREWS. EXTRAORDINARY IDEAS.
Unplug it. Lift the lid. A real computer inside a box made to be messed with. We’ll publish the reference design and parts list.
Power disconnected. LEDs off. Pi 5 fit study; production compute, cooling and screw engagement are not yet validated.

YOUR CODE.
YOUR BOX.
YOUR CALL.
Strange games come from people who can get under the hood. We’re building Threebox for a scene that shares its tools, swaps ideas, and makes things nobody asked permission to make.
OPEN THE BOX. MAKE IT YOURS.
Under the lid: prototype notes
A computer you can get to.
The TB-P0.1 fit study uses a Raspberry Pi 5 inside an enclosure with ordinary screws. Unplug the box before opening it. We’ll publish the reference design and parts list.
Connections, without the mystery.
This layout has USB-C power and two micro-HDMI ports at the back, with USB and Ethernet on the side. Production compute, cooling, cable clearance and screw fit still need physical validation.
You own your game code.
Build on Three.js. Change it, share it, take it with you. Your projects belong to you.
Made to be messed with.
We’ll publish the reference hardware design and parts list, sell kits, and make the box as hackable as we can. Static’s voice coding tools will be open source, too.
Host here. Move anytime.
Deploy on Threebox by default for an easy path from idea to TV. Take your project to another host whenever you want.
Inspiration from the open-source community
YOUR OWN ITCH.
YOUR OWN GAME.
Make the game you wish existed. Start with one idea you want to play. These independent open-source worlds show a few directions your imagination could take.
Independent open-source games, shown for inspiration. Built with different engines; not a Threebox launch lineup. Image sources & licenses ↗
STATIC. THE FACE IN THE BOX.
ON YOUR SIDE.
YOU CALL
THE SHOTS.
Meet Static. Your AI accomplice writes and changes the game. You decide what stays, what goes, and what gets gloriously out of hand.
Talk.
Describe what you want to play. Start with an idea. Make it strange.
Hack.
Build it with AI. Change the rules, the world, the whole point.
Play.
Grab the controller. Play on your TV. Find the next thing to change.
Before you plug in
GOOD
QUESTIONS.
When can I get one?
Threebox is in development. Join the waitlist for launch news and early access updates. We haven’t announced a price or ship date yet. No payment is required.
Do I need to know how to code?
We’re building Threebox so you can create games by talking, without writing the code yourself. If you do code, get straight into the source. We’re open-sourcing the voice coding tools so the community can change those, too.
How will Threebox make money?
We’ll sell hardware kits based on an open reference design and offer paid hosting for your games. You own your game code and can choose another host. Kit prices and hosting plans are still being worked out.
Are those games coming to Threebox?
They’re existing open-source games shown for creative inspiration, built with different engines. They aren’t an announced launch lineup. Threebox’s own game-making workflow is built around Three.js.
Your first idea doesn’t have to be a good one.
