   Thanks! In our testing, Firefox is about 40% slower than Chromium-based browsers or Safari. Would be interesting to know what the performance was like with Chromium on that device! https://download-chromium.appspot.com/

   Thanks, glad it worked for you! We want to make sure it actually works on a broad range of devices! Our lead artist regularly tests on his Pixel 2 :)

   Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Those lobbies can get pretty sweaty!

   Yep! It's very interesting, but our problem space is a bit different because we can do some optimizations based on our models being voxels. Great stuff though!

   Thanks for the report. We'll take a look, Safari pointer lock is sometimes a bit fickle and we have a regression there!

   Servers are on AWS and Cloudfront. We started out with three.js for rendering but we froze at 78 and are currently working on rewriting the renderer to not use the scene-graph and instead move to a more data oriented design.

   We're moving from Python to Go as we see about a 100x performance improvement for our specific use case. So it's basically old stuff in Python and new stuff in Go :)

   Yep! Cheating and combating cheating is a never-ending arms race! You can use heuristics on the server to try and detect suspect behavior, but the issue is that the very best players can be very difficult to distinguish from cheaters. Even

    For a lot of types of games (e.g. social, creative, silly fun) it doesn't matter. For those where it does you have to run servers that you control and write server-authoritative code. You have to assume clients are hacked whenever you&

    That's super weird! It's working for me here on wifi and on my cell connection on my phone. Could you try another connection?

    Thanks! We work hard to make it work well on all our platforms. I can get 120fps on my Samsung Galaxy S23 on simple games! Yes FPS can be a bit hard on mobile devices, but a lot of younger players only play e.g. Minecraft on phones! If you

    1) You can send a link to anyone and they can play on any device in multiplayer, no install needed. 2) All the tools you need are built in and supported on all platforms (even XBOX!), no separate downloads. Windows, Mac, Linux (including Ra

    It's actually a complete game development platform. The game I posted was made using only the tools available on the website. The game editor is multiplayer and runs in the browser. Overall it took a long time as it's a complete p

    Hey! ControlZee CEO here. Lots of people raise this as a potential problem but our data says that our target users don't have an issue with it at all. We spread mostly by word of mouth between players or direct links where there's

    What is this, 1999? You should have your whole family using Google Docs. It's backed up as you go, and you can view all previous versions using File->View Revision History.
