> games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted give little details some movement

Remember that those games have budgets of tens of millions of dollars and are built by literally hundreds artists and programmers. Animation is very time consuming (and hence expensive) so it’s no wonder to me that the creators of this project opted for a static scene, this way they could deliver something cool more quickly instead of dragging this project for months and risking cancelling it due to lack of funds to finish it.



I’m very well aware of this. But I’m also aware that we have game engines like Unity, Unreal or the Cry engine which have webGL options and such and various tools etc to make the process cheaper. I didn’t check the credits if it contained a reference to the tools used. It wasn’t a critique to the creators of the project or that I think it isn’t good. It is really great especially since it runs in the browser and looks as good as it does but again just too static for me. I would wish if it contained a little bit more ambient elements.
