That's a fun game. I made an anagram game myself a few years ago. https://conundrum.fun/ Seeing some of the other comments reminded me that most of the work went into trimming the …

Support for Javascript modules looks like it is in-progress: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/issues/4767 Developing offline with the engine-only ( https://github.com/playcanva…

They unlock a lot of advanced graphics techniques that are too slow to do CPU-side but work well in parallel on GPU. It's a pretty wide variety of things, but e.g. lighting, mesh m…

I can't wait for compute shaders to be widely available on the web!

PlayCanvas[0] is the probably the closest "web-first" solution compared to Unity. Used by lots of Snap Games & Instant Games. It's written in JS which means that it's way smaller ~…

It's worth checking out PlayCanvas for the asset pipeline. Texture compression is supported directly in the editor. https://blog.playcanvas.com/webgl-texture-compression-made-e...

Clara.io is a modelling, animation and rendering tool (in the style of Maya/Max/Blender) PlayCanvas is a game engine (in the style of Unity/Unreal) To put it another way. You build…

And a handy link for anyone who wants to check out PlayCanvas: https://playcanvas.com

Define large? You need a graphics driver more recent than Jan 1, 2009. And slow compared to what? Flash? Canvas 2D?

Please don't associate WebGL being bad with Unity being bad at exporting to WebGL... PlayCanvas is generating WebGL games that run on mobile and download in only a few megabytes. Y…

It's trivial to generate "some" UVs. However, in this case there is a texture with a lighting pattern as part of the generator. Ideally the model would be unwrapped so that the cor…

They are still very much required for games/real-time rendering :-) I hadn't heard ptex before, it's interesting stuff. Sounds like the reason it isn't in general usage for realtim…

Oops, also just realized there were some 4096 textures in there. I've resized them down.

Nope, that's right. There is no UV co-ordinates generated in the blender script. (Well, I think it uses world space cube for UVs, which is an option that PlayCanvas doesn't support…

Interesting, could be the particle effects. They fall back to CPU if your machine doesn't support float textures.

Unfortunately, the ship generation is done offline in Blender. I'd have to re-write his ship generator in javascript.

Sadly it doesn't seem to generate UVs for the models. But using the cube projection in Blender seems to do an OK job. Add a skybox and a couple of simple particle effects in PlayCa…
