elaborate, please, because this sounds so bizarre.
Are they bundling an entire web view and then interfacing it with their game engine? Not only is the tech conceptually weird, I can't think of too many AAA games that have very complex UIs other than maybe the CK series.
- turtlebits 6y agoA lot of games have storefronts for DLC. I've seen these used as webviews, especially payment forms.
- Macha 6y agoIt doesn't surprise me. 5 years ago the standard solution was Scaleform, which is pretty much the same thing but with Flash.
- vbezhenar 6y agoIt might be for main menu. I think that WC3 reforged used webview for its menu.
- Pfhreak 6y agoMain menu but also in game UI. Ability timers, weapon reticles, health bars, etc.
- Pfhreak 6y agoYes, it was two Svelte apps. One for the menus and one for the in game ui/hud elements. Things like health bars, reticles, ability timers, etc. The interface between the game engine was designed to be as decoupled as possible. The UI could run in a browser with a mocked game underneath it, which allowed the UI devs to iterate very quickly. This also has the advantage of allowing UI to be built before the game had a feature implemented.
