Overview Wild Pockets is a free, web-based 3D game engine and development platform. Like its largest competitor, Unity, it runs as a browser plugin that provides rich 3D content to the user. It differs from other engines in that the full development environment is also integrated into the browser. The engine uses Lua as its primary scripting language for game development. Wild Pockets hosts all game content on its servers, so that development, like game-playing, can be done remotely.
