Many Unity developers have taken the plunge and started exporting WebGL versions of their games. Unfortunately, many of them also run into issues that can lead to performance degradation and instability. This is a particularly tricky problem on older machines that have less resources available. This article will outline several techniques for resolving some common WebGL performance issues we’ve seen with games published on Kongregate, and hopefully get you off to a good start when it comes to d

Galvanic Games [https://www.facebook.com/galvanicgames] is a small company with few resources. As our primary programmer on the team, it’s my job to figure out how we can deliver content as quickly as possible. We had a goal to release our game, Questmore [http://www.kongregate.com/games/galvanicgames/questmore], after just a few months of development. This makes picking our tools one of the most valuable steps in the process, and Unity is a phenomenal tool for rapid development. However, it isn

Web games like Kongregate's may be one of the key ingredients for developing powerful artificial intelligence. Read on to find out why this is, where they fit in, and how you can help! Hi! I'm Jack Clark, strategy and communications director at OpenAI [https://openai.com/blog/] — a non-profit artificial intelligence research lab. I want to tell you about a new AI project from us called "Universe [http://universe.openai.com]" that relies in part on games from Kongregate. At OpenAI, we've spent

One of the biggest challenges in mobile game development is having your game run great on a low-end device without compromising the experience on a high-end one. We tend to optimize and budget the best experience for our high-end devices. There are many good reasons for this: better monetization, better engagement, etc. Low-end devices seem to run away from us in scope and get poorly prioritized because of the focus on high-end devices. But they’re still important! According to a recent Mixpanel

Overview With more and more developers utilizing cloud services for hosting, it is critical to understand the performance metrics and limits of your application. First and foremost, this knowledge helps you keep your infrastructure up and running. Just as important, however, is the fact that this will ensure you are not allocating too many resources and wasting money in the process. This post will describe how Kongregate utilizes Locust.io [http://locust.io/] for internal load testing of our i
