We’re doing it with Final Drop, 100-player open-world battle royale, no install, running in the browser.
Still early, but this is absolutely achievable on web: final-drop.com

What is effort really? When do you change it it and why not just use max effort for everything?
I dove deep into this problem, looking into evals and doing my own tests and I was quite surprised by the results.

Using some @Aritelia3 assets in Uranus Tools SDK. This world was created in ~2 hours in @playcanvas! ⏱️
✅ Real time day cycle, reflective/refractive water
✅ ~100 draw calls!
✅ Fully interactive ➡️ accurate colliders
🔜 live demo!

The render surface script included in the Uranus Tools SDK can be used on regular UI elements to render a top down map on demand. Here rendering some nice game maps 🗺️
The fog effect isn't added separately, it's the actual in game fog!

Nowhere near 99K yet, but Final Drop is currently running 8K networked entities directly in the browser.
Different constraints, still a fun milestone 😅

Gaussian splats are captures frozen in time — not anymore. ⚡
Experimental RELIGHTING of splat scenes in the @playcanvas engine, driven by a proxy mesh: swap the sky, drag the sun with its soft shadows, drop in point lights — all live on a captured scene.
🔗 Runnable demo👇
First minute of a Final Drop test match.
100-player open-world battle royale running directly in the browser. No downloads. No installation.
Coming soon.
Can you build a similar demo in Unreal or Unity quickly? Absolutely. But crossplatform support and load times will suffer.
Can you vibecode a similar demo fast? Sure. But it likely won't scale.
Any tech demo built on foundations that can evolve into a real game deserves respect.
Internal test game created by a single (senior) developer in 5 days using our new tools and engine. Uses WASM mini-engine (ECS, rendering, animations and physics). 100% AI generated assets using our new asset pipeline. Custom character controller. Slop or not?
Gaussian Splats are interesting technology, I saw one open-source scene last night and put it into one of my game. Want to share it here, this is how future web games might look like. 📷 Especially since now with AI synthetic data can be created.
RELEASED: Gaussian Splat multiplayer demo is live.
Drop into a scanned scene with our Final Drop controller: combat, weapons, bots, friend-vs-friend networking, realtime shadows, and light occlusion.
Built with PlayCanvas, link in 🧵
Play it here: clear-site.pages.dev/
Works on mobile too, but it’s a third-person shooter, so desktop is much easier to play.
Thanks to @yak32 for the original resources, and @Schindelar3D for the abandoned building photoscan via SuperSplat.
