You are right Ben! The rendeder contains a bunch! (Still a subset of the engine like i said)
Hail open source! :)

In the original old version there is a joystick for controlling the boat: labs.gooengine.com/pearl-boy/

"GooCreate's renderer is based upon ThreeJS". With that I thought you meant that our tool (Goo Create) was built on three.js which it is not.
Yes a subset of a few files in the engine contains some code from other open source libraries. Mostly it is a derivative of my previous open source (Java) engines Ardor3D/jMonkeyEngine and new code.

Actually it's based on our own engine, Goo Engine, also open source: https://github.com/GooTechnologies/goojs
But yeah, still essentially OpenGL in the browser :)

The one linked to was a quick remake in Create...

We made this almost three years ago, way before we had our tool and platform (Goo Create).
I'm surprised it still runs :)
The character uses more joints than some mobiles can handle (those with a vertex uniform limit of 128).

Major diff in output size. Also, the build times in unity webgl export are looong.
