Oh my god! Seriously. Wow. This is honestly sublime – emotionally. For so long I've had townscaper builds, many of which were from a really crummy time for me in my life. I still build at least one a week, as a kind of meditative task. I've always so wanted to explore these little creations. They often have embedded coves, labyrinthine stairways, and hidden gardens that the normal controls make impossible to fully appreciate.

So this is ... wonderful.. and I'm so so so grateful there are people that make these things. What a beautiful surprise to see on HN! Thank you so much for sharing this :)))) EDIT: my day tomorrow is entirely forecast to be spent indoors navigating these little worlds. EDIT2: I wonder if there's a way to get to floating castles? I seem to get dropped in the ocean below.

EDIT3: A rather big build I'm whiling away time on: j11y.io/stuff/Town.obj

I'd be curious how hard it would be to add things like teleport or double jump. I was telling my brother that these would make pretty interesting FPS maps (really probably not what most people would be using this for).

Double jumps work for me.
