Would allow for more graphics extensive experiences!
But, I do think the future will be full of games that can be instantly played directly in the browser

Quite interesting... no noticeable difference in performance between the two. FPS capped at 72fps. And pretty much identical cpu/gpu load.
Just FYI, its the browser that caps the FPS, you need to change some flags to go higher.
testufo.com shows 144fps correctly. I don't believe this is issue on my side.

Might be boring, yet where are the WebGL/WASM versions that are the modern versions thereof?
Boring demos are available anywhere you care to search. https://playcanvas.com/explore is the typical goto for this kind of 3d market these days. Particularly popular in the mobile OS and web game (e.g. facebook) space. Robostorm, seemore, and After The Flood are their demos. Unity and Unreal can both export large games to the Web just fine but people found out they didn't want to serve 50 GB games to a temporary cli…
Demos that were released about 5 years ago.

I know, but that wasn't the question, rather what has been actually produced with it, given that Infinity Blade was created with Unreal 3 for iOS in 2008. An hardware that WebGL 2.0 is supposed to be much better. Instead most online games look like Amiga 500 stuff instead.
This is more because there isn't an incentive (monetary or otherwise) to do that. When Flash gaming was big, web-based games were on the desktop but web games never took off on mobile which got pretty much all the audience they used to have on the desktop. Instead mobile games are largely native (or at least in app form). I agree that it took many years for HTML5/JS to reach Flash's capabilities (and some stuff like…
After the flood is from 2017, and doesn't work on my Vulkan aware mobile GPU.

Unreal 4 offers a WASM target. https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing...

Then go out and build your ideal web game. The barriers to entry have never been lower.
People still appreciate pixel art and simplicity. Some even love the Amiga.

I rather take advantage of the latest native games and APIs instead.
It up to Khronos and friends to keep the Web APIs relevants, after all why did they kill plugins?

#98How does one learn what it takes to do this?
Start by forking the code and adding a new enemy.

Plugins were a security nightmare.
Webgames are generally more about free to play and accessibility. No install or trust required. They are usually more casual games and must work on the widest possible selection of devices.
That's what WebGL is all about. If your looking for a memory intensive behemoth of a game, it makes more sense to look at native as opposed to WebGL. There's nothing wrong with either approach, but the web lends itself to one more than the other.

And then everyone went to mobile native games instead, leaving WebGL behind for 3D visualizations of online shops, Google maps and shader toy demos, basically.
