PlayCanvas launches with private Engine Beta

A couple of Game industry veterans are launching a new game engine called PlayCanvas. It’s an engine aimed at 3D games using HTML5 and WebGL, with a focus on providing a fully-cloud-hosted Game Development environment that allows for collaborative editing in the browser.

Visit the PlayCanvas website to contact them about access to the beta as well as check out the some demos (including a take on the famous Flying Toasters demo from the early Mac days)
