This got me thinking: Rewind 25 years, I can easily imagine 15 year-old me sinking DOZENS of hours into playing this "game". I remember I put much more time than that into a free game that came in a box of cereal[0]. Today, I loaded the site up and spend about 30 seconds on it before deciding "this is cool!" and moving on, probably never to return. What changed? I guess it's a mix of: (A) How I value my time. (B) The…

Your wonder and discovery phase is over.

Holy shit, this is really cool. i felt like i was in a movie. the car blows up and is ready to go right away; the car drives in the water (faster if you hold down the space bar). music is nice; and the 3d rendering is also pretty smooth. love it.

shift is turbo mode

B or CTL is brake

H is horn

I used to play a game called Pro-Am on Nintendo. This game reminds me so much of that. The controls are basically the same.

Pro-Am was amazing. Didn't like the sequel.

The Unbeatable Car in the first game was kinda frustrating!

I dunno; I'm 39 and just spent 50 hours in Arc Raiders, much of it in a state of wonder and discovery.

I think there's definitely a raising-the-bar effect here too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> That said, it's not 'hands down, one of the coolest 3D websites', at least that I've seen. Would love to see those websites.

Right? I'd love for some of them to still be around. Unfortunately, portfolio sites are ones that I find are often lost to time.

Reminds me of those insanely intricate flash demo websites

Building a good spatial website is so so high on my must do list.

Alas, the state of WebComponents for 3d / spatial is so so. A-frame is still CJS only & won't work with my unbundled setup because of that, but that's sort of on me. Lume.io wraps three.js too and looks tempting, has a neat signals & cool behavioral classes. https://aframe.io/examples/ https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/issues/4242 https://lume.io/
