Turns out something broke in the WebGL build. Don't think I'll be able to get it to work.
I don't have a lot of interest in doing more with this. Anyone interested in history or philosophy shouldn't get too comfortable because I am likely to do more like this in the future.
There were a few ideas I had that didn't get in. I thought it would be best not to try anything too ambitious or I might not get anything done.
For instance, I could have used models that actually looked like people. Or used a free AI to narrate the text.
I also wanted to have some kind of mechanic with shadows, but that would have been too difficult.
I did have the idea of Plato being a vampire and so he had to stick to the shadows. That one ended up being buggy so I scraped the idea. You can still push platforms around though.
