We’re doing it with Final Drop, 100-player open-world battle royale, no install, running in the browser.

Still early, but this is absolutely achievable on web: https://t.co/8N3eeeH7Mz

Want easy duos with invite links? Jump in on CrazyGames, game published there too.

This is achievable with threejs, why nobody doing it?

@bilefresh Give it a try here ;)

@sometimesfrunny I think they are enabling that at the moment, we are about to launch a premium version soon!

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

@willeastcott @prestonattebery On natural beauty indeed, that’s just another beach on the coastline.

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

@willeastcott @prestonattebery A beach south of Athens!

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

@Colonthreee I think so!

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

@Colonthreee No promotion, all traffic was organic through the Snapchat app.

@froessell A thumbnail as simple as possible. Shows the action not only the setting. Avoid dark colors, keep it on the bright side.

@Dimillian I did something similar with a personal cloud of all my devices, my agents now can requests leases and use them for testing:

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

This is the way! I had an agent create an always on service on my main workstation, that connects to all my current/old devices like a personal cloud.
At any point any agent can pick and reserve a device to run any kind of tests on it.
It's hilarious watching them wake!

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

@lujotypes Nothing on that yet, Snap seems to be enabling monetization at the moment. Let's see! 🙏

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

🐍 I built a snake battle game with PlayCanvas and shipped it as a Snapchat Lens.

Since launch on 26 Sep: 1.6M plays from nearly half a million players.

Play links in the reply.

I have gotten good results by plugging in the target device (an old mali mobile in my case) and instructing opus/fable to measure everything.

Given total control of the device this way, it can search solution space freely and validate results and performance itself.

It has even implemented completely novel rendering techniques for gaussian splatting...

@BatsouElef Study this usage guide, make sure to throttle effort per prompt and you will get decent speeds:

[Leonidas Maliokas @PlayingInCanvas]

This really useful to understand better when to use low vs max effort in Claude.

This really useful to understand better when to use low vs max effort in Claude.

[Thariq @trq212]

What is effort really? When do you change it it and why not just use max effort for everything?

I dove deep into this problem, looking into evals and doing my own tests and I was quite surprised by the results. https://t.co/KO2D51j34H

@AshConnell Freespace 2, the story / presentation / gameplay was something else.
