Artillery Games Aims to Revolutionize the Gaming Industry
Ankur Pansari, co-founder and CEO of Artillery Games, has a bold mission – to replace game consoles with the ability to play high-quality video games for free on web browsers. With their proof-of-concept project, Project Atlas, Artillery hopes to create fully 3D games using HTML5 on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Pansari and his team at Artillery believe that HTML5 has the potential to be the platform of choice for web game designers, with its ability to instantly work on billions of devices.
HTML5: The Future of Web Game Design
HTML5 is rapidly challenging the dominance of Adobe’s Flash in web game design. It is the most powerful version of the web’s core programming language and is already being used in some of the most advanced websites. With its instant compatibility, HTML5 allows for a seamless gaming experience on multiple devices.
The Dream Team: Ankur Pansari and Sean Plott
Artillery Games has acquired the expertise of Sean Plott, widely known as Day[9], a popular StarCraft 2 commentator. Plott’s knowledge of gaming and his credibility within the community make him an ideal addition to the Artillery team. Plott’s fame comes from his talent as an analytic commentator, but he also has experience as a game developer. By combining their skills and experience, Artillery and Plott hope to create a groundbreaking game that will change the way people play and view real-time strategy games.
Project Atlas: Making AAA Games in HTML5
Artillery has released a tech demo of Project Atlas, giving the public a glimpse of what HTML5 can achieve in the gaming industry. The demo showcases the impressive capabilities of the Artillery Platform, which allows for the creation and release of new units, abilities, and additions. The goal is to keep the game evolving and engaging, with regular updates and new content. While microtransactions will be a part of the game, Artillery aims to prioritize fun and create a game that can be enjoyed without spending money.
