Earlier quoted context omitted.

impressive, what's your desktop?

just win10 and firefox. It wanted to run workers in firefox, locked up firefox, then somehow taskmanager was locked up and things went downhill from there.

Works for me on Win 10, Win 11, Firefox, DDG.

Probably somet=ing gone very wrong with the video drivers.

Would be interesting to give all the NPC AI, then control one and see how everything interacts, or get dropped into this in first person and interact with everything/everyone powered by AI.

Given that this is hand-crafted by a real artist, introducing AI into it would be a betrayal of the entire concept.

This sort of thing gives me a nice hit of nostalgia.

I am pleased things like this continue to exist on the tinterweb.

This has been making the rounds for the years and I think what captivates me the most is the art style. There is something about it I cannot put my finger on. Just like the art style of Moebius or the 90's game Flashback.

I thought for sure this was eBoy at first. The style is similar and eBoy has been around forever but looks like it’s just someone else who is really good at this stuff.

The editor that is used to draw these animations https://floor796.com/editor/l0

Author has a YouTube channel too somewhere where you can see him making a drawing start to end. (edit: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCribkEGzOuMQ9ozb0ektMCQ)

From FAQs

> The creation of Floor796 started in 2018. I spent the first year creating the animation editor, the rendering engine and the site itself. Then I started drawing the first characters. I drew slowly at first, as I had to get used to the projection and constantly improve the animation editor. I've been creating the first block for over 8 months. Now I draw 1 block in about 1-1.5 months.

Author made everything, including the editor, by himself.

For some time recently, I was zooming in on Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. The floor's level of interactivity would be so nice there. At least on this floor, I can guess what's going on quite reliably. The experience is quite similar at some level though. I saw Bosch's originals (or 1-to-1 by size repros) many years ago and without zooming in, it was incomprehensible. With zoom, the details are overwhelming.
