More people are switching from three.js to #BroMetal – have you? WebGPU programming designed for the AI coding era. Insanely small runtime, shaders compiled at build time, frames hit instantly. brometal.dev/examples

Yea, my last company died at code gen. This is 100% accurate.

Hi folks, for anyone using #BroMetal for their #js13k project, please be sure to update to 0.19.0 for improved WGSL minification. My game entry this year is heavy on both graphics and compute shaders, and it saved me nearly 1kb! brometal.dev/changelog

Changelog — BroMetal

Every BroMetal release, with what changed and why. Pre-1.0, so minor versions may include breaking changes — each one is listed here.

I spent today with Claude porting the VFX playground from @chirovisuals into my engine for my upcoming tower defense/RPG/RTS game Bloombreak (built with brometal by @ericdrowell). This is on an RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. I am much happier with the fps/loading with brometal than I was ever able to get with three.js. Thank you both!!!

The new #js13k WebGPU framework #BroMetal has already hit 100 stars! Finally the #js13k community has a solid WebGPU shader compiler framework designed for insanely small runtimes. Only 2kb. What will you make? brometal.dev/js13k

@end3r just raised an exciting PR for the #js13k resources page that I've been cooking up npx brometal prod --js13k

I don’t see #BroMetal on the #js13k resources page - anything else I need to do to get it to show up there?

Legend of Bro. #BroMetal isn't just for 3d - it's an excellent choice for 2d pixel art games on the GPU. Dithering effect shaders, instant game loads, silky smooth performance. brometal.dev/examples/legend…
