For something like RimWorld WebGL 1 should be more than enough, no? I don't think it's doing anything complex graphically. As a bonus, you'll be able to run on a lot more devices.
- SeanAnderson 4y agoHonestly, I am not sure, lol. I guess my thoughts were: - Dwarf Fortress has existed since forever and neither DF nor RimWorld nor anything remotely similar seems to exist as browser-first software. Clearly it's not due to graphics limitations, but perhaps market economics? - WebGPU isn't just about graphical performance. It's also about GPGPU. I was thinking some of the in-game algorithms would become more viable to run in this environment. I'm learning a few pieces of tech at the same time, though. It might be the case that I find that avoiding GC with Rust/WASM and gaining memory locality perf benefits with ECS address the main limiting factors. I think I'm just a bit caught up in the hype of WebGPU coming out, too, and so am assuming it must be relevant to my solution. It might not be!
