Story · how this shipped

The brief

3D creature-collector games are usually native or engine-heavy (Unity/Unreal). Building one that runs entirely in the browser at real-time framerates was the core technical bet.

The build

Built a full 3D world with Three.js: custom creature models, exploration mechanics, and real-time combat, all in WebGL with no plugins or native install required.

What shipped

Playable end-to-end in any modern browser. Demonstrates real-time 3D rendering, game-state management, and physics-driven combat without a game engine dependency.
