JS GameDev Summit

JS GameDev Summit 2023

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.

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.

Boost the Performance of Your WebGL Unity Games!

Today's Talk discusses integrating Unity into React Native apps for game development. Unity provides a wide range of capabilities and can be seamlessly integrated with React Native. The integration involves using the Unity View component and the Unity Message callback to enable communication between the two platforms. Native plugins are created to facilitate communication between Unity and React Native. The performance of Unity in React Native apps is comparable to regular React Native apps, and the decision to use Unity or React Native depends on the app's use case and need for advanced UI and gaming capabilities.

In this talk we will see how we can bridge React Native app with commonly used game engine Unity3d for two way interaction between the game and React Native app

Run Games Within Your React Native Apps

React Summit 2022

Jonny discusses marrying WebAssembly and WebGL games with React, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right tool for game development. He introduces the Godot game engine as a powerful choice for game development and highlights the limitations of Godot. Jonny demonstrates how to combine React with Godot and showcases the ability to dynamically switch between different games on the same website. He explains the process of exporting a Godot game to the web using WebAssembly. Jonny also discusses the communication between React and Godot games and highlights the benefits and future improvements of using this approach.

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?

JS GameDev Summit 2022

Unity targets over 25 platforms and technologies, including desktop, mobile, and virtual reality. They use Emscripten to compile the engine and game logic into WebAssembly for web development. Unity can be extended with plugins to access browser features like WebXR's augmented reality mode. The speaker demonstrates intercepting Unity's calls to the browser to modify its behavior. Unity is actively working on mobile support for web export and improving documentation for extending Unity with web plugins.

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

Today's Talk focuses on avoiding performance and memory issues in Unity WebGL builds. The importance of managing memory and keeping the heap size small is highlighted. Techniques such as using asset bundles or an addressable system can help reduce memory usage. The limitations of garbage collection in WebGL builds are discussed, along with tips for optimizing Unity code. Tools like Backtrace can assist in debugging memory and performance issues.

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>
