I've heard of it (in the UK) because of their heavy advertising on Spotify.

I played this for half an hour earlier today. Great fun and superbly executed. Just tried again on my tablet and unfortunately I just got the spinning loading bar. Not sure if it's just a bandwidth thing?

You might want to take a look at playcanvas [ https://playcanvas.com ] if you are looking for something a little more game specific than threejs. We've designed it specifically for WebGL and hence it works a lot better than U

Presumably, this means Ubuntu will always be one release behind...

I would recommend PlayCanvas [ http://playcanvas.com ]. :-) We have an editor tool (like Unity/Unreal), good documentation, a great community of other developers. And the engine is open source if you're not interested us

It's a push to call the Unreal 4 support decent. Unity at least have it as part of their product feature set. Unreal seem to do it only as a demonstration piece. The problem with taking a engine like Unity or Unreal and compiling to ja

Ignore Unity webgl and try PlayCanvas instead? It's a lot more work to port, but you'll get much better performance.

Oops, it's public now. The texture, as provided, maps on the sphere primitive created in PlayCanvas. So no need to worry about texture co-ordinates.

Yeah texture is applied to the outside of the sphere and the camera is in the middle so its all backwards...

by daredevildave 11y ago
Pretty simple in PlayCanvas. It's a sphere with a camera in the centre. Texture is applied as an emmissive map on the material. Took me about 5 mins. Project is here: https://playcanvas.com/project/349830/over

Some of this reasoning doesn't make much sense when making a personal decision. "Helmet use may deter people from cycling", that doesn't affect whether or not you should wear one. "Benefits of biking out way the ris

Glad you guys made it through. Fund-raising is hard. Doing it across an ocean is even harder. It definitely feels like trying to raise in another country is a massive burden that may not be worth it.

Hi Elisee, Great to see Superpowers making progress. I'm interested in your choice of Three.js. Did you consider other WebGL game engines? Like PlayCanvas[1] (where I'm a co-founder) which is also open-source[2] but more designed

Try PlayCanvas [ http://github.com/playcanvas/engine ] It's definitely state of the art. See our latest tech demo: http://seemore.playcanvas.com

The Unity WebGL export is great news. It is pushing forward the platform. However, the reality is that they are desktop only, at least for the foreseeable future. The Emscripten Webplayer generates a significant blob of Javascript which doe

Cool. I can see we're entering an era of cheap niche hardware for all kinds of things. Exciting times.

PlayCanvas is a great choice[0]. We're designed to do exactly what you want to do. Concentrate on the game not building the engine. We support drag and drop importing from Blender and the Designer is great for building levels. [0] I&#x

Broadly speaking phaser is 2D, PlayCanvas is 3D. (Though you can always do 2D stuff in 3D)
