Very cool! Thanks for the detailed tech blog explainer.
Some, hopefully constructive, feedback:
- You mention "other games" several times. It would be so much more interesting to read, if you named them. Your readers may know that game but have no knowledge about those under the hood details. Like the user wordpad, I immediately thought about Planetary Annihilation when I saw rollback and multiplayer.
- Your landing page needs an easy to grasp "About" / "What is this" section. I'm more or less familiar with several popular game engines (Unity, HL, Source, Unreal, Godot, Spring etc) and never heard of yours before. Even after clicking around a bit on your website, I still had almost no idea what your engine (or is it a language?? [1]) can, and more importantly, can not do. I mostly went by the screenshots of the game examples shown and concluded that it is a 2D engine with simple graphics. Wikipedia [2] and web search were not that helpful either, so I had to resort to an LLM [3].

[3] https://search.brave.com/ask says "No, Easel is not a 3D game engine. It is a web-based game engine specifically designed for creating 2D multiplayer games without the developer needing to code the networking or server infrastructure"
