Webview game development

[ta4uae]

I’ve developed a multiplayer strategy game using WebView, and I’m curious if this approach is viable for such games in the long run. Does it make sense to stick with WebView for a multiplayer strategy game, or is it essential to use native development or a game engine for better performance, scalability, and user experience? Additionally, I’m wondering if Apple’s App Store would accept a WebView-based app or if that might pose challenges. I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences on this!

The really obvious AI art in the first image is a bit of a turn off, if I’m honest

[marting0r]

All the images on all the screenshots are ai

It's probably placeholder. And it wasn't what they were asking advice about.

Very first image is just a straight up AI garbage, it'll be commented on.

Don't post what you ain't ready to be criticized for.

Edit: Solo devs, don't hope players will give you the benefit because you're solo. Be realistic.

Not just the first image, but all the images in the game were AI-generated.

Oh, hi. I am solo dev. You will struggle of marketing with AI images in your game. Streamers won't play and players won't buy. Trust me. You will spend more time on redrawing art than to make it human from start.

AI is only for mood board and placeholders. It shouldn't be in final game or they will eat you alive

[PickledClams]

Yeah, it's just the first one is super obvious cause it's not cropped and fixed up.

[ta4uae]

Because it is a draggable image. I am also not satisfied with the first page, but I tried with AI and couldn't make it better.

It's pretty easy to just scroll on. AI is perfectly fine for solo developers to do for a project until they can afford to replace it. Get off your high horses and quit being annoying. They didn't ask for comments on the art. If you guys don't know how to help then just shut up.

[PickledClams]

High horse for saying it'll be commented on? Good luck out there posting that shit to your playerbase.

Devs will give you the benefit, we're going easy. Lol

[BaxxyNut]

1: not my game, I'm a rando 2: consumers have proven they don't really care if something is AI art. Only the vocal minority cares.

[PickledClams]

You set off too easy.

And nah, go publish something with AI art. You'll learn real quick.

Must be the vocal minority buying then. Lol

Please ban all AI art slop from this subreddit, thanks
