MY 24GB of RAM struggles with this
Some other bottleneck on your end.
8GB M3 MacBookAir runs it smoothly, with only a few seconds of loading.

Re: Bruno Simon – 3D Portfolio
#72This 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…
It's called growing up

#73This is very impressive as an art project, but terrible as an actual home page. It’s slow as molasses and difficult to navigate. Microsoft Bob failed for a reason.
Bruno Simon sells courses on how to make things with three.js. As a homepage it is an exceptionally good example of what you can do with 3D in a browser, and what buying his course will enable you to build. It's a great home page with that context. It would not work for many other people.

> What changed?
Personally, I feel too guilty about everything else I'm not doing. (This results in me feeling maximal guilt and doing minimal anything at all.)

#76This is unbelievable. So whimsical and fun and different...I really appreciated the attention to detail and joy that clearly went into it. Got to spend some time playing the racing game with my son and we can't figure out how people got 20 seconds...is there a speed boost?
Anyway, super fun.

Shift is boost. The keyboard near the start will show you controls.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
What do game engines have to do with this? You're welcome to your counter-opinion about the design, but you haven't convinced me. I've played plenty of games with third-person views where the gameplay was quite conducive to running in to things. I can also appreciate that the design is faux-retro, but that's kind of my whole issue with it. Sticking to a design because it is nostalgic is not user-focused. It's demogra…
> What do game engines have to do with this? You seemed to imply that the developer chose isometric to make development easier. I'm rebutting that this is unlikely; they're equally easy with an engine (and if you're not using an engine, you're skilled enough that they're still equally easy). > But neither of those make the critiques, themselves, improper or even wrong. Are you referring to my critique of your critiqu…
ah, easy enough then: mistaken inference on your part.
> Are you referring to[...]
I'm referring to critique, in general, for the former, and my specific two paragraphs of critique on the project - not the commentary - for the latter. Your being "allowed" to disagree with me is what is meant by the sentence "You're welcome to your counter-opinion about the design, but you haven't convinced me."

#79Does not work on Chrome, and actually freezes the tab
FF on linux worked great.

#80For those that can't get it to load (it takes a minute, and I noticed my desktop's fan kick it up a notch while things were getting initialized, so... YMMV): this is a portfolio site done via a cozy-gaming-style AWSD game where you drive around in a jeep-like thingamabob. There are some cute easter eggs, including a sort of... shrine to each of the socials, which you can run into with your car and knock over (though…
It worked surprisingly well on ddg browser, iOS, iPhone mini 12. So, impressive!
All browsers on iOS are (still, though sadly not for long…) the same browser. Only the skin changes.
