Chris Taylor, a game developer known for the titles Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, and Supreme Commander, announced today that he has been developing a new cloud-based gaming platform, Kanoogi, and a new real-time strategy game, Intergalactic Space Empire.

Taylor unveiled the game, which will run on any modern web browser, at the GamesBeat Summit 2019 event in Los Angeles. He said in a fireside chat with me that games running on the Kanoogi platform are specially designed and optimized to play on virtually any device that runs an updated web browser, or around two billion devices. Taylor also gave me one of his hand-made pottery bowls onstage.
