Can anyone speak to their experience using Bevy on the web with WASM (related [1])? Are there other non-JavaScript game engines you’d recommend?

Bevy currently works on the web with a separate WebGL 2 based renderer. WebGPU is the long term target so that the wgpu based renderer will work cross platform. I’m not sure of the status of single-threaded WebGPU rendering but Bevy will not fully support web likely until this issue [1] is addressed. It is unfortunately not a high priority for the Chrome/Firefox teams so will take some time. You need to be able to render WebGPU to a canvas from a worker before you can achieve multi-threading.

Also note webgl 2.0 is not enabled by default on safari (includes any iOS browser). There is an option to enable buried in the settings, but it’s not recommended to leave it on.

So it’s not really an option if you’re targeting ios.
