This is definately more of a "common mistakes in multi-player games" talk than an HTML5 game talk - but I wish I'd seen this before I made my first multi-player game. I think that everyone must make the same mistakes when they first start, and we're likely to have hoards of web developers starting out on multi-player games for the first time as websockets become easier to use..
I saw a hand with middle finger pointing up at 26:10, which is meant for cheaters... lol this guy is really funny, and i better do the same thing in my presentations
Being a game developer I was hoping to hear more about how HTML5 was used here but it looked more like a (possibly newbie's?) postmortem of his first game. Which was great to listen to but the title is kinda misleading. Thanks for the post though!
Also, great work, but you could have spent 5 more minutes getting the physics right! See Subspace for how it is supposed to be... And the concept doesn't work at all right now since you can't press some key combinations simultaneously (I guess that's why Subspace uses modifiers to fire instead of space).
@TimmmmCam Thanks for the comment. Rawkets hasn't even gotten out of the prototype stage yet, so there is plenty of time to tweak the physics and general gameplay. I'm more interested in the multiplayer issues and core features of the game right now. I'll look into the key combinations.
Thank god you guys posted such a video. I have something that's been burning my mind for a long time, and I needed to know more before I could get further. :)

In regards to Lag Compensation, a good overview of this is provide by Valve for their Source Engine with the game Counter-Strike: Source.

Thanks, very informative, good presentation.
Seems like html5 has a long way to go regarding developing multiplayer games and the end result.

Google Tech Talks is awesome, but consistently fails with audio quality. Please improve audio quality.

@rawkes Ah ok. If you do improve the game part, definitely play subspace first!
