For the DAE Unwrap 2024 game jam, I decided to challenge myself and learn something totally new. I had heard about the WebGPU graphics API, which is a next-generation API that works not only on web but on desktop platforms with high performance.
Its complexity is akin to Vulkan but it is compatible with far more platforms, as it can use many different backends under-the-hood.

I wrote the game engine in two days right before the jam, and we put together a team with fellow DAE students brave enough to try something new.

Tech Used

• C++
• GLFW
• WebGPU
• SoLoud Audio Engine
• Forgejo Git Forge

Skills Learned

• Working in a team
• Learning new APIs on-the-fly
• Git + Kanban board workflow

My Role

I made the entire engine and some of the gameplay logic for this game.
The sound integration and rest of gameplay is written by my friend Yarno, and the art was done by fellow DAE students Luiz, Oskars, Giorgio, and Pelakauskas.
