Trendy Entertainment reveals a browser game that runs in 3D using Unreal without plugins

The common browser that you use to check your email and the weather is secretly maturing into a viable gaming platform.

Developer Trendy Entertainment revealed its Monster Madness action-combat game today. It’s a fully 3D experience that runs in any modern browser without the need to download extra plugins like Flash or Unity. The title uses Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 graphics tools — the same thing that powers a huge number of titles on PC and consoles — and a superpowered version of Javascript pioneered by Mozilla called Emscripten+asm.js (or just Emscripten for short).
