The only thing I'm seeing is a spinning globe on FF for Android. Smooth, but I guess I'm missing something...

I had to switch to Edge to get it to work. Can't find that damned access token though.

Check the storage room accessible from the main "hub"

Just had a few seconds, A/D is strafing as I'd expect

I just opened it again to make sure I wasn't imaginging it. Oddly enough, A works to strafe left for me, but D doesn't work to strafe right. I'm using Firefox 121.0. Edit: ignore me! It's one of my plugins!

If someone is using Vimium or something similar and aren't aware yet, entering input mode, usually 'i', will let key-presses slip by the plugin input parser and go straight to the web page.

Thank you. Hint: look for a door which doesn't look like the others in the central hub.

That sounds similar to a sub-plot in Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Very interesting book!

I've never heard of it, but I'm on the lookout for a new sci-fi read, so I think I'll get it! Thanks!

Don't read it if you're terrified of spiders. Otherwise, it's a great book.

Very nice graphics and design. I wonder who would ne the client for such a 3D game. And how much (about) it cost to build such a game.

Excellent! I had originally planned to give it a quick glance, but I was so captivated, I had to see it through the end. For those aspiring to become creative developers, could you share any tips on which areas they should focus on?

Thanks! Congrats on making it to the end. This is too broad a topic to cover here, but I'd say the most valuable skill is the ability to constantly learn new tools and techniques.

It's not in the hub, though. You have to go past the hub first.
