Tech? How'd they make this?

It's WebGL. Doesn't look like any library/engine I'm familiar with, quite likely custom. If you're interested in more detail, you can run spector.JS on the site to capture the render calls of a frame.

It's from Nintendo, wouldn't be surprised if they hired some of their creative team and developers to work on it.

Craziest ever? Not really cmod ;) Update title to Yamauchi No.10 Family Office crazy website or something

We've changed the title now. Submitted title was "The Craziest Website You Ever Did See". It's a good submission (especially because it's not correlated with anything else! https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... ) but: " Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. " https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We realize why. But, I wonder what would make it a more attractive title, because it truly is worth seeing. Amazing! Indeed.

That’s interesting, my 2015 MbP had glitchy sound, stutter and fans spun right up while my iPhone 7 deals just fine with it.

Android Moto g - website works great, no heat, no stutter. You can zoom in and watch the motion of the cubes. Is it random motion?

From a frontend devs perspective this actually is pretty crazy. I was going through the markup for 5 minutes and could barely tell what is what and how stuff is rendered. Chapeau!

Same here. Although digging in a bit there is some really cool css tricks in here. Any idea who the developer is?

Besides being a beautiful website, I was rather touched by their call to action: "Seeking stability only clouds your soul. Fear of failing only kills the seeds of innovation. We must create a more exciting future where people feel free to dream and leap into a world of possibilities. We must create a freer future where people are eager to truly live." It's hard not to love Nintendo. Also TLDR for those that didn't sc…

I love Nintendo as much as the next guy but they're hypocrites when they come to comments like the above because they're second only to Disney with regards to how aggressively they chase after their IP. So many fun indie projects have been taken down because of Nintendo. And we're not even talking about commercial games but stuff kids have thrown together as tribute to Nintendo and have put online. YouTube reviews, T…

Yeah, I get that. I feel like the trademark and copyright system is set up that way where lawyers are incentivized to defend IP. Some consider it a must, to protect those IPs.

At any rate, I would love to see something like a decentralized Disney or Nintendo spring up in the world. Like a decentralized universe of open source characters that people could interact with and riff on. Something like what happens with memes like Pepe already, but more Disney/Nintendo-esque. I wonder if that couldn't be organized with a DAO for the community to contribute to and fund the artists that build the characters and universe. Anyways, random thoughts.

I don't think this is unique to Nintendo though. I feel like it's a Japan Culture thing. There's a kick start project for Street Fighter history where a studio backed out of doing an interview due to it not being sanctioned by Capcom. When ever I need to work with companies in Japan, it's a struggle of bureaucracy and politics.

As I face into another day of tedious Jira wrangling, this really lifted my spirits! The music really makes the difference. I was also struck by the quote regarding stability and innovation. FWIW, very little CPU overhead on ThinkPad X280 with FireFox.

It comforts me to know that I’m not the only one who feels this way about their work- “tedious JIRA wrangling”. Ugh, I empathize deeply with that statement.

Attention: It nearly flipping fried my CPU. But awesome site. Tested On both Safari and Chrome on macOS. 100% CPU usage when scrolling. Edit: On WOW, from the comments I decide to try it on my iPhone 11. Ultra Smooth Rendering with Music ( which wasn't even playing on my Mac ). And my phone isn't even warm after a minutes of playing around. Amazing Which makes me wonder. Why?

Are you powering a large monitor? I would guess the graphics doesn’t scale well with screen size.

Text on the website is a combination of SVGs and real characters which are then transformed using CSS. Assets are from /assets/doodles.json which contains information on how they can displayed and animated on a canvas through WebGL using a custom engine from /assets/js/engine.min.js.
