Is there a way to save space of ark?
CompactGUI

400GB? Seriously? 25+ hours worth of waiting just to play it? Why is ark like this?
Also, check out CompactGUI. It's a more user-friendly and efficient way of using Windows' built-in compression to cut the game's file size almost in half. It makes load times marginally longer (like 5-10%) and needs to be redone every few updates to keep the size down, but it works.

Modern Game File Sizes Be Like
You can chuck compact.exe at it by hand (use the /exe option), or if you'd prefer to avoid the command line there's my Compactor tool, or the venerable CompactGUI.

The era of 100GB games is upon us, and the average PC gamer is underprepared
You can also just use compactGui smaller filesizes without having to remove dialogs or cutscenes or anything. Obviously how much space is regained depends on how well it was compressed originally. With triple A titles perhaps getting 10% back, while things like ark can literally be shrunk by hundreds of gigs.
- Can we talk about client size? We are approaching 50GB!
- PSA: Use CompactGUI to reduce the the game's file size without any performance hit. I reduced the size from 81 GB to 56 GB.

For me ARK is 190GB but for my friend it is 160GB
Not really related to your question but if you want to try and save some space you can give this a go, I've used it before and never had any issues. https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI

Release Radar • March 2024 Edition
It's been around for a while, and we've featured it in the April 2019 and March 2022 Release Radars. It's also been in GitHub Game Bytes and on our latest episode of The Download. Yes, I'm talking about Babylon, the powerful web rendering engine for all kinds of graphics. The newest update includes support for basic Global Illumination, a highly requested feature. Read more about other cool new additions including Gaussian Splatting, Ragdoll physics, Procedural Geometry and all the breaking changes in the Babylon release notes.

How do I integrate Motion and Animation into my Projects?
Wow that site is super cool! So I see most of the 3D stuff is using canvas, maybe three.js or babylon.js or possibly pixi.js.

Which tools should I use to create my game ?
Sure; I've used [Phaser](https://phaser.io/) before for a game jam like project and I've heard of [PixiJS](https://pixijs.com/) and [Babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/) as options too. I can't really give a good recommendation either way; Phaser was fun to just write TypeScript and see my game, but it felt like a toy compared to Unreal. I'm sure you could really push it to its limits though. You mentioned you know about LibGDX; I don't have experience with it, but it does seem like a viable option.

JavaScript framework for making games. no game engine
I’ve only messed around with it a bit, but https://www.babylonjs.com seems impressive
