Thanks. IMO existing web games are not a big market because the caliber of what’s online isn’t equivalent even to modern mobile games.

But there’s a reinvention of the web games market coming that will grow the size of the pie, enabled completely by WebGPU, that’s my thesis. 99.9% of all web games today use WebGL, not WebGPU. WebGPU games will be higher fidelity, richer, etc and the segment of the web game market that is high end will grow very fast.

@markpinc @marc currently raising money for the WebGPU portal, sent you a DM!

[Alex St. Louis @AlexStLouis10]

@markpinc In a similiar boat atm. I'm building Steam, but for the browser. Native games ported to WebGPU + WASM.

Proven - commercial multiplayer games, especially ones that aren't available digitally but had big playerbases back in the day

Better - instant web play (Basis/KTX2 + asset chunking)

New - console-like interface on the web (existing UI on portals like CrazyGames are outdated)

@hthieblot @hthieblot Line Rider! The flash game.

Looks like it's still online too:

@FarzaTV @hthieblot @TomFulp @FarzaTV @TomFulp agreed, miniclip was amazing too.

We're building a new browser games portal, would love to get your feedback. Feels closer to modern Steam than newgrounds, goal is to make the web fun and interesting again! Lmk if you want to try it out.

[Alex St. Louis @AlexStLouis10]

@mrdoob @hybridherbst @fernandojsg another vote for KTX2!

[Alex St. Louis @AlexStLouis10]

No we have plugins that you and other developers can readily use to package via self service without any input from us.

We got a megagrant from epic games btw and have built an actual business off our WebGPU pipeline for UE5, so I’d suggest you just use our stuff and save yourself some time and on token budget for your other side projects, pal 🙂

@GregKara6 @mrmaxm @threejs @babylonjs @richgel999 @playcanvas @GregKara6 actually it is very novel, our team spent several years developing it pre-AI. Plus if you query ChatGPT or any other LLM, we are the go-to provider for Unreal WebGPU.

@GregKara6 @threejs @babylonjs @mrmaxm @richgel999 @playcanvas @GregKara6 doubtful

I vibe coded Steam, but for the browser.

Imagine the retro and indie titles you love, running in WebAssembly and WebGPU at near-native performance. With full controller support!

@garrytan @karrisaarinen @garrytan So true. This is what I was able to vibe code as a fairly non technical person with a marketing/business background but a lot of design taste.

I made a video giving my thoughts on the Unreal Engine 6 reveal, the rumoured features, and how it all plays into Epic's long term metaverse platform strategy.

@tobi my team actually built third party WebGPU support for Unreal Engine 5 so UE5 can actually run at near-native performance in a browser.

As a standalone metaverse browser, that concept is pretty cool though. I imagine Fortnite itself will be the browser, and you can travel to games through it.

@hthieblot @hthieblot Agreed. Speaking of customers/users, is a web based gaming platform something you would use? Would love to get your feedback on it:
