JS GameDev Summit

JS GameDev Summit 2023

Unity, when deployed on the web, faces three critical challenges: build size, memory usage, and overall performance. This lecture delves deep into advanced optimization techniques to help you address each of these issues. Attendees will gain insights into: - Effective strategies for optimizing textures, audio, and models.- A detailed analysis of our ASTC experimentation with Unity, shedding light on the unexpected results despite Unity's claims.- A comprehensive guide to Unity's memory profiling tool and its implications.- An exploration of lesser-known Unity settings that remain underutilized by many developers. Additionally, we'll introduce our <a href="https://github.com/CrazyGamesCom/unity-optimizations-package" target="_blank">proprietary tool</a> designed specifically for Unity optimization. We will also showcase CrazyGames' developer dashboard, our platform that enables developers to monitor and enhance the performance of their web-based games seamlessly.  Join us to equip yourself with the latest strategies and tools to elevate your Unity web gaming projects.

In this workshop, we’ll build a game using the PlayCanvas WebGL engine from start to finish. From development to publishing, we’ll cover the most crucial features such as scripting, UI creation and much more. Table of the content:- Introduction- Intro to PlayCanvas- What we will be building- Adding a character model and animation- Making the character move with scripts- 'Fake' running- Adding obstacles- Detecting collisions- Adding a score counter- Game over and restarting- Wrap up!- Questions Workshop levelFamiliarity with game engines and game development aspects is recommended, but not required.

In this presentation, I'll explore the transition from WebGL to WebGPU, demonstrating how these changes affect game development. The talk will include practical examples and code snippets to illustrate key differences and their implications on performance and efficiency.

Migration from WebGL to WebGPU

React is strong at UI development but lags with actual game development. Game engines are great for that but bad at UI. How to combine both?

Instead of manually drawing each image like traditional art, generative artists write programs that are capable of producing a variety of results. In this workshop you will learn how to create incredible generative art using only a web browser and text editor. Starting with basic concepts and building towards advanced theory, we will cover everything you need to know. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

How to make amazing generative art with simple JavaScript code

Traditionally, browser games haven't been taken seriously. If you want to target the web, that traditionally has meant compromising on your vision as a game developer. Our team at Wonder Interactive is on a mission to change that, bringing one of the world's premiere native game engines to the browser - Unreal Engine. In our talk, we'll dive into our efforts porting the engine to the browser and carrying on the pioneering unfinished work started at Epic Games nearly a decade ago in collaboration with Mozilla. We'll dive into what this means for the future of games in the browser, and the open metaverse on the web.

Unreal Engine in WebAssembly/WebGPU

Alex St. Louis

Unity can build games to run in a web browser using tools like Emscripten, Web Assembly, and WebGL. It provides integration with the browser, using browser APIs to simulate native APIs. Sometimes it is useful to interface with the browser in ways that Unity does not natively provide support for. In this talk, I will discuss how Unity builds games for the web, and how to extend Unity using Javascript to enable support for features not otherwise provided. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Extending Unity WebGL With Javascript

Brendan Duncan

This session explores common performance and memory issues that arise in WebGL builds produced using the Unity game engine. Examine how to identify, troubleshoot and avoid pitfalls that may lead to out-of-memory errors. Learn how to reduce game instability and improve game performance in WebGL builds. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
