godot version of unity's project tiny

infomayn

Hi,

Is there any plan to work on very lightweight wasm builds optimized for web? Currently there are problems with the wasm build size and IOS web. Also the build sizes in general are not optimized for web browsers.

I believe this would have huge potential as godot is currently a lot more feature rich than project tiny. Also I would be very keen on using it.

There are no plans to work on a "special" lightweight version of Godot for HTML5 exporting (for Godot 4.0 at least). That said, you can compile optimized HTML5 export templates with unneeded features disabled. Godot 3.2.4 will also add support for link-time optimization when compiling HTML5 export templates (use_lto=yes), making export templates faster and smaller. (The official HTML5 export templates will also be compiled with LTO enabled.)

And as always, remember to serve the .wasm and .pck files over a host that supports on-the-fly gzip or Brotli compression :) Ideally, you should use precompressed Brotli files for those as these files are static.

@Calinou sorry for the late response:

Does the optimized HTML5 exports deal with the bugs when running HTML5 projects on IOS as mentioned in the exporting for the web docs?

Godot looks really amazing and I would really love to use it but this is a deal breaker for sure

I see that a recent update has some optimizations for web, but can anyone that has more expertise comment if it helps solve some of the problems in my previous post above.

Thank you very much!

The recent optimizations most likely won't affect existing iOS HTML5 bugs, but feel free to test this again once 3.3 is released.
