AwakenBuild games in
your browser.
A real-time 3D editor that runs entirely client-side. No install, no login - open a tab and start creating.
Why Awaken
100% in your browser
It runs on the open web - just a tab. Nothing to download, nothing to keep updated.
Powered by WebGPU
Real-time rendering straight on your GPU - modern lighting and large scenes, drawn live as you edit.
Physics built in
Colliders and rigid bodies with gravity, collisions and bounce - hit Play and your scene reacts in real time.
Fully client-side
Your project never leaves your machine. No servers, no uploads, no tracking.
Instant, zero setup
No account, no config, no waiting. Load one tab and you're building in seconds.
Free & open
Free to use. Import from Unity, Godot and Unreal, export a self-contained scene.
From assets to a shareable link.
Three steps, one tab. There is no build server and no export queue - the whole loop happens on your machine.
- 1
Import
Drop in a Unity, Godot or Unreal package - or a glTF/OBJ model. Awaken reads it directly, no re-export step.
- 2
Build
Compose the scene, add physics and TypeScript behaviours, and watch it run live on WebGPU as you work.
- 3
Ship
Export one self-contained file and share the link. Anyone opens it in a browser and plays - no install.
Nothing leaves your machine.
Editing, TypeScript compilation, physics, and packaging the final game all run in your browser tab. No account, no build servers, no uploads - your project stays entirely yours, from the first primitive to the exported file.
A real editor, right in the browser.
Scene hierarchy, inspector, gizmos, lighting, physics - the full toolset, rendering live on WebGPU. Drag in a Unity, Godot or Unreal package and Awaken reads it directly.
Open the editor

Awaken games are single, self-contained files. Here is one running in the page - the same thing your players get from a link.
A real engine, not a toy.
Everything you need to make and ship a 3D game - and the docs to go deep on each part.
Modern renderer
Forward PBR, cascaded shadows, a Unity-style Volume post-FX stack and GPU-driven culling - all in WGSL.
Learn morePhysics engine
Rapier under the hood: rigid bodies, colliders, a character controller, raycasts and triggers.
Learn moreScripting, two ways
Gameplay ScriptBehaviours and editor tools, both in TypeScript - compiled in your browser (esbuild-wasm), with public fields becoming inspector controls.
Learn moreImport anything
Unity, Godot and Unreal packages plus glTF/OBJ models - meshes, materials, colliders, terrain, skeletal animation, and Unity HUD/UI packs.
Learn moreOne-file export
Ship a single, self-contained game.html - assets inlined and zstd-compressed, double-clickable, no hosting required.
Learn moreA full editor
Docking panels, transform gizmos, hierarchy, inspector, a material editor and a code editor - the whole toolset in a tab.

How it’s built, in the open.
- #9Precomputed occlusion: how it works, and why it's an option not a defaultThe full PVS pipeline - voxelisation, ray-cast visibility, sparse storage - why it's hard to tune on imported open worlds, and what Awaken does for now instead.
- #8Editor scripting: the size-cull that made my buildings dissolveModular buildings pop because size-aware distance culling judges every part on its own - small tiles cull close, big walls stay far, and the house comes apart as you move. The fix is an editor tool that merges each building into one object. (Plus a memory rabbit hole I climbed out of empty-handed.)
- #7Making WebGPU run on every GPU (including ones you can't test)WebGPU means every GPU on earth - feature detection, a fallback that never rots, and a GPU picker built on the one knob the API gives you.
