    This is incredible.

    Athena Crisis is an example of how to build a high-quality video game using only JavaScript, React, and CSS. By open-sourcing Athena Crisis, we are following through on our commitment to open source our core technology and help push the Web forward as a game development platform.

    I absolutely love browser-based gaming. But there’s not a lot of resources to learn how to build anything advanced beyond the casual games. After a while, every browser game migrates to a “real” game engine. Which makes sense. But doesn’t help push web games.

        That’s what I mean. The exported code isn’t readable or something that can be modifiable by web developers.

        In the perfect world, you’re not using a game engine to export web games. You’re building directly using web languages.
