WebGl Using too much memory
So I create a 3D endless game and build it for Webgl and you can check it here (run the game and take a look at the memory usage from the task manager) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103586730/RollBall!/index.html
The problem is its using 450+MB of memory it even reaches 500 and more that's 0.5GB what is wrong is it my code note that if you checked the game out I did try to stop the generation of the floors and still it only dropped less than 50MB, So I tried to disable every thing in the scene (Except the camera) and still it uses about 300MB then I tried to only enable the generation of the floors and now it uses 390MB so it could possibly be the generation of the floors is what causing it to use that much so I'll figure out another way to generate the floor but an empty scene using 300MB that is a big problem.
I have read an article here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/webgl-roadmap.334408/ and it said that JavaScript require a lot of memory and since I use JavaScript for this game could it be the reason and if I spend my next 2 weeks to translate it to C# all of this issue can be from the past? What do you think can be the reason? And how to fix it?
Basically how to properly optimize an WebGl game?
Using Unity 5.3.4p6
No, moving to c# will not help, i have c# code and I have a blank scene with just a terrain and 4 prefabs, each with 5 textures, and its using over 700MB, then gives memory error if i add anything. How can you make a game from just that?
I think WeBGL is a useless technology, unless you are making the simplest game like tic tac toe, or a board game, or you have a massive Graphics team to ultra optimize every pixel, your screwed, like me.
Only god knows why they didnt let us keep using WebPlayer until they get something better, but WebGL sucks, its the worst thing created by the software industry. Maybe when Web Assembly comes out it will be better, but right now WebGL seems useless to me. I spent 6 month writing a WebGL app only to find out it cant work because WebGL hogs too much memory, unless you can allocate 2GB of browser memory. Dont know who thought javascript, a simple language made for simple websites, could be good for games.
