In a previous blog post I discussed how to get basic cross-origin requests working for your Unity WebGL project. This post is meant as a quick follow-up to cover another tricky problem that may come up when attempting to host your Unity WebGL game on Kongregate: cookie-based session authentication.

First-Place Winner VasantJ, developer of Medieval Chronicles 5: Well, this is it. I think I finally managed to mentally destroy the audience by presenting them with the unholy spawn of Hell that even the Devil doesn't want anything to do with. This game was actually supposed to be Wolf's Bane 2 with the paradox setting and Ada acting as the undercover cop. But when I thought of a crossdressing Dregg and the chance to declare him pregnant, I made it into the game as you see now. I am pretty sure God
