Also, Flash was a security nightmare.

Yep, and Steve Jobs' refusal to support it in Safari put the nail in its coffin. That's the history I remember, anyway, but now that I've said it, I realize I don't actually know this for sure but that's what was in my brain for years.

Very sick. Building the future.

Let's wait & see how this evolves. 👀 Maybe in the future this becomes a thing.

Some of the games that I put together were made for Desktop and I've always been wishing that there was some technology where I could make those games playable in the browser to where a person doesn't have to download anything. If I could find that, then I'll be making ALL of my games playable in the browser.

It would be awesome to see this platform take off.

Man, this is wild, you'd think GPU web would have been out in 2004... We're so late to the game. This is LONG overdo.

We have a long wait for WebGL to become a well recognised and supported standard?

I need help, every time there is a text TMP in my game, the letters don’t show, and it’s just a floating T logo. Do you know how to fix this?

Make sure the tmp essentials pack installed. It under the window menu but should also pop up when you add tmp text to the scene

Hey, not sure if it made the cut in this interview but I did briefly touch upon that. We have some plans in the works for exactly that scenario, both as a way to preload assets, as well as streaming assets. Unlike generalist browsers one of the unique things we can do as a gaming first browser is change how the cache behaves so users can declare certain games as "important", but as a content delivery platform we can do similar things like other storefronts do and download your games in the background.

This sounds interesting, currently Unity WebGl exports are annoyingly slow to load (and reload) in the browser, which is why I kinda voted against it for a project recently, despite the concept being ideal for browser based usage. But what I am curious about it what this Ray browser might have over say Opera GX, because as far as i know the concept kinda sounds the same.

Great to see this happening. In combination with things like AI upscalers and procedural generation, maybe the amount of data required for games may not need to be so large. What worries me, will Steam or one of the other big tech giants come for you with some kind of patent infringement?

Thinking about flash games era, it was fun. So many simple but good games. Those small games have their own charms. Right now it'd be at least medium to large games for indies and the AAA games kinda bloated large games with huge production value. I'd love to make well polished small games like how people made back then. Not game jam's style btw, it's completely different.

getting people to switch browser sounds like a hard thing to do

Nah, we NEED MORE BROWSERS! Firefox and Chrome do sh*T they shouldn't do just because they market dominance, like denying macro clicks etc. Manifest v3 is just nerfing devs

You don't need to webgpu is for the future not now. It's not adopted widely enough yet.

My Biggest issue with web as a platform, it will become like Appstore games. Where they are all some whale hunting, microtransaction first game second. At least on the App store you have apple curating to not allow malicious software or games. This will have no one, and though while cool, i think it will be even worse then the app store when it comes to malicious actors.

that's assuming there's no curation happening on Ray.
