Our browser based game engine Construct (https://www.construct.net) supports rendering with both WebGL and WebGPU.

When I visit a Construct 3 Ultra Pixel Survive on Mobile Safari on the latest production iOS with either WebGPU enabled and disabled, I only see black:

Which Construct 3 game should I try on Mobile Safari?

I know there are other game engines. Supporting Mobile Safari is very very hard. It has its own flavor of everything. I would never speak in absolutes about some web standard and how it will work on Mobile Safari.

Runs great on Android!

Then you agree that WebGPU isn't for Construct, it's for Unity.

No. How does that follow?

You realize that WebGPU has not shipped in Safari right? There's a reason it's still behind a developer flag. It's not finished.

Construct 3 doesn’t work with WebGPU disabled either. I’m sure it has official support for Mobile Safari, just not official enough to work when someone visits a Construct 3 experience.

I’m not dunking on the engine. It’s just to say, well this is what graphics programming in browser is: making shit work on mobile Safari.
