Full Disclaimer: I worked on this game with OP.

I'm really excited about the future of WebGL (and eventually WebGPU games). I really like Godot for it's light weight, open source, focused nature. It's a good engine.

We'll be publishing more blog posts about our experience using Godot, writing netcode in Godot, and deploying to the web platform for games.

Thoughts on WebGPU?

Most of the tech here is about the servers & services. So so so excellent seeing a 1 man shop (now 3) hoist up such an impressive backend system, take such off the shelf open source tools & snao together such neat gaming infrastructure. It's really happening- small operators can diy a real world environment together easily-ish.

Great to hear a very positive report on the Kubernetes based "Agones" game-server operator. Builtin metrics that get dropped i to the other snap in observability tools... everything looks so slick, so visible. Plug & play!

I dont know enough about it to make a truly informed comment. I've read some pro and some con arguments. I'm more in support of the 'pro' arguments I've read and the 'con' arguments are for things I don't ascribe a lot of value to.
