 PlayCanvas were lucky enough to show a demo of our collaborative HTML5 game development toolset at Google I/O a few months back. We had a few existing demos of simple games that we had made in order to test the platform.
 
 However, we really wanted to show something a little more high-end, to showcase the possibilities that HTML5 offers for next-generation browser games. With a little under two weeks to go we started work on the demo we'd feature on the show floor. A networked multiplayer 3rd-person shooter we descriptively called 'scifi'. We’ve since renamed it to the slightly less descriptive D.E.M.O.

 We’ve made a beautiful looking game in 3D in next to no time. We could do this because the PlayCanvas asset tools are built to ingest a wide range of model formats and set up to ensure that default materials from popular 3D packages appear identical in engine as they do for the artist.
 
 The sci-fi levels and the SWAT character and animations were all created using 3D Studio Max default materials. With no effort on our part we could export the source assets into the PlayCanvas format and be sure they would look nearly identical at runtime. If you were to get assets from a site like [Turbo Squid](https://www.turbosquid.com/) you need to know that it will _just work_ in PlayCanvas without modification. Within minutes of receiving 3D assets from a 3rd party you can have characters and environments in game.

 Traditionally, this would consist of building out the level in low detail (often called grey-boxing) and running about it in to get feel for the how the game plays, where the choke points are and how the spawn points should be placed. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the art resources to design the level in this way but we did have a set of 5 or 6 components which fitted together like jigsaw pieces.

 Something incredibly exciting is happening in the mobile browser space right now. WebGL is rapidly being integrated into browsers and all of a sudden, game developers have the technologies they need to deliver high quality 3D video games without having to deploy a native app. To show what is possible today, PlayCanvas has developed the game 'Dungeon Fury', a light-hearted fantasy game that pushes your reflexes to the limit. Dungeon Fury represents the world's first 3D HTML5 browser game that is built specifically for mobile (although it works great in desktop browsers too!). And if all this wasn't cool enough, the whole game was written using only a web browser, made possible with the PlayCanvas game engine!
 
 [PLAY DUNGEON FURY NOW!](http://dungeonfury.playcanvas.com/)
 
 PlayCanvas on mobile is built upon bleeding edge technologies and as such, the game is pushing mobile browsers very hard indeed. Consequently there are some known issues and things to look out for. Supported mobile browsers are as follows:
 
-- Firefox for Android
-
+- **Firefox for Android**
   - The game works in the Release Channel build but performance is far higher in the [Nightly Channel](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/android/#nightly).
-
-- Chrome for Android
-
+- **Chrome for Android**
   - WebGL needs to be enabled by toggling 'Enable WebGL' in chrome://flags.
-
   - Game audio is fairly unreliable and when it does play, it lags the gameplay quite significantly. Google are hard at work, implementing Web Audio for Chrome M27, so this is a temporary problem.
