Hugely technically impressive 3D web game. Great audio and graphical effects! Controls are a little tricky but well worth a play. Great work!

Mechs! Brings back memories of mech warrior! Loved the music, and I could see the time and effort you put in. Controls were a bit difficult for me tho. Great job!

Developer

Yes, I should have changed the control scheme a bit. I was originally building it as an RTS but I had more fun stomping about in the mechs. So the controls are accommodating things like the split screen view (which I should have removed) for controlling four mechs at once. But I added cockpits on a whim, and then found that I had more fun stomping around in the cockpit view - so I pivoted a few days before the GameOff deadline.

It’s worth persevering though, just hold the right mouse button down to rotate the view, mouse wheel to zoom out, and remember you walk in the direction of your legs not your view.

How could I not want to play a game with Giant Robot Mechs and Ninja Space Ants!?

But alas, no firefox support. :-(

Developer

It can be got to work in Firefox but you have to edit the preferences to enable canvas.transferControlToOffscreen.

This is because the 3D rendering runs in its own thread (as does the fluid dynamics based pathfinding). Firefox doesn’t support this rendering technique by default which forces you to render 3D on the main thread.

Firefox also has terrible 3D performance - it’s actually my browser of choice; but not for playing 3D games. For that Chrome runs web_gl content at about 3-5 times higher fps.

Thanks, I get it. Wish my favorite browser was more up to snuff for games.
