Built with Claude Opus 5.5 + UE5 + WebGPU. If you have a Unreal game you want to bring to the browser, please lmk!

Try picking a map from the map picker up on the top left drop down section, then click g-23 and you'll be matched against bots.

Wrong, it sure is relevant because it was ported with Fable 5. Did you even read my post?

Also just a suggestion - try not to hate on others so much, it'll make your life more pleasant!

Anthropic says Fable 5 will now flag and route harmless queries to Opus

So this port isn't a straight WASM port, you're saying they're running the Windows binary and translating the DirectX8 graphic commands over to WebGL..? Am I understanding correctly?

Unreal Engine 5 does support the web, albeit as a third party implementation (my company)

We spent the last several years building out a WebGPU RHI for UE5, along with tooling to make games load fast using asset streaming, while using less memory. We were recently featured by Gamesbeat.

Interesting. For your occlusion mapping variant, what engine is the game you're making with made with that you're implementing this for? Do you have Claude hooked up to Unity or Unreal?

Totally agreed. I'm building a Steam competitor, that's web-based (WebGPU/WASM) as well as cross-platform. Light on games atm, but the goal is to replicate over time virtually every feature Steam has to offer, as well as more. You can check out a preview of the portal here:

Thanks man, feel free me to DM me on X if you'd like to discuss further, I am planning to push the code to a repo seeing as Xonotic is an OSS game and requires any changes to also be open sourced. And a Playstation recomp implemented in WASM is interesting to think about!
