engine VS Phaser

It's just a cool tech demo that pushes CSS to its limits, but it's completely useless if you want to create usable 3d models. If you want to model in the browser, you can check out vectary, playcanvas, or spline

The model in the video has no spheres, which is why the performance is decent. In any case, I agree with you for the most part, I'm just lazy and didn't expect anyone to actually want to use this for serious modelling. You should check out playcanvas or vectary if you are serious about in-browser 3D modelling

If you want the closest thing to Unity that's focused on browser-based (mobile and otherwise) development, try Playcanvas: https://playcanvas.com/

There are many engines that you can use in browser. 1. (GDevelop)[https://gdevelop.io/] 2. (Construct 3)[https://www.construct.net] 3. (Godot Engine)[https://editor.godotengine.org] 4. (Play Canvas)[https://playcanvas.com] 5. (Hex Engine)[https://hex-engine.dev]

Web-focused 3D engines (three.js, babylon.js, PlayCanvas, ...) are pretty capable. Maybe not AAA-level like Unreal Engine, but certainly capable of the stuff you're describing here. If you're comfortable working within these frameworks, and writing shaders, there's a ton you can do.

I wasn't familiar with PlayCanvas, looks very cool.

You could also potentially look into tutorials for specific engines/frameworks like Pixi.js and Phaser, but you will then need to learn the interfaces for something like Unity if/when you decide to jump to a different engine. Picking a very simple project you want to make and learning as you go along is what I've found to be most effective when starting mostly from the ground up.

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.

So my question for you is, what do you think is the best way to handle in-game purchases? And also, what engine should we use to develop the game? We're considering newer engines so it's less bloated with users like Evergine, Yahaha, or Phaser. I've already talked to their reps, and so far, Yahaha and Phaser are the ones with robust monetization features, but I believe Phaser needs plugins for you to sell assets.

Not gp but you could look at Phaser or Pixijs!

Hmm I don't know about tutorials, but I would recommend staying away from the DOM for any game that's real time (so, no React). Instead use a WebGL rendering library like pixi.js. You could also try out a framework/engine like Phaser, which uses pixi under the hood but provides more structure for your project if you're into that.

I'm a Ruby guy, but for making simple games I'll just use a js game framework like Phaser. Though admittedly I haven't tried any Ruby game frameworks in probably about a decade.
