The video discusses creating a multiplayer game using React Three Fiber and WebSockets, focusing on React Battleship. The development process is divided into four phases: design, prototype, block-out, and production. The game uses a Node.js server with Fastify and WebSocket connections for real-time communication. React 3 Fiber is utilized for 3D scene representation, making it easier to create and manage 3D objects. The speaker emphasizes accessibility, ensuring the game can be played without authentication and is optimized for mobile devices. Animation techniques like floating ships and cannonball firing enhance the gaming experience. Resources like Sketchfab and BlendSwap are recommended for 3D models, and tools like Cypress are used for end-to-end testing. The game was initially built in Vue.js but later switched to React for better efficiency.

This talk has been presented at React Day Berlin 2023, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

PlayCanvas is an open-source game engine used by game developers worldwide. Optimization is crucial for HTML5 games, focusing on load times and frame rate. Texture and mesh optimization can significantly reduce download sizes. GLTF and GLB formats offer smaller file sizes and faster parsing times. Compressing game resources and using efficient file formats can improve load times. Framerate optimization and resolution scaling are important for better performance. Managing draw calls and using batching techniques can optimize performance. Browser DevTools, such as Chrome and Firefox, are useful for debugging and profiling. Detecting device performance and optimizing based on specific devices can improve game performance. Apple is making progress with WebGPU implementation. HTML5 games can be shipped to the App Store using Cordova.

The Talk discusses ways to boost the performance of WebGL Unity games, including issues with bundle size, memory usage, and runtime performance. It suggests using Brotli for compression and non-exception support for better performance. Choosing the appropriate texture compression format and experimenting with separate builds can also help. The Talk also covers optimizing textures, models, audio, and assets by reducing build size, using compression, disabling unnecessary models, and optimizing audio quality. Unity's optimization tools and profilers are recommended for analyzing performance and memory issues.

CTO & Co-founder of OPGames
Web3 gaming enables decentralized identity and finance, allowing game developers to bypass centralized platforms. It is driven by wallets, ERC20 tokens, and NFTs. Web3 games focus on collaborative world-building, ownership, and open-source collaboration. The challenge is achieving decentralization while addressing economic and technological limitations. Web3 aims to redefine the gaming industry by using economic tools and exploring new genres like RPG and RTS games.
