Unreal Engine 4 WASM space game

Note that the demo may take up to 30 seconds to load, and initially present a white screen. I can assure you - it's worth the wait!

Unreal Engine 4 WASM space game launched on November 7, 2023 with 43 votes, #1,170 of 4,332 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

This is a space game built with Unreal Engine 4 and compiled to WebAssembly for browser play. Players can experience the game directly at play.spacelancers.com without installation. The demo requires patience during initial loading, which can take up to 30 seconds and may display a white screen before the game renders. It's designed for anyone interested in trying a web-based space game experience.

    Earlier this year, we released our open-source game engine [0] built with Rust, WebAssembly, and WebGPU. Today, we’re happy to announce the Ambient platform, which brings web deployment, server hosting, and more to the runtime. With Ambient, you can make a game, deploy it to the browser in one command, share your URL and instantly play with others, no downloads or installs needed. Our WASM use is innovative; it is being used as both a sandboxed runtime for user code, and as a way to run the entire Ambient runtime in the browser. This, paired with our ECS data model, enables a highly modular…

    Desktop only, the progress bar may go to 98% and sit there for a while but it will eventually load in. For anyone curious, this is an Unreal Engine 5 sample that our team ported to WebAssembly using our custom web pipeline. Demo is not made by us, we just handled the port.

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
