This is actually wild. I have no idea how this works. Does it somehow emulate the rendering engine of each of these games to render the map? The water in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is just how I remember it. Very cool.
Noclip's creator Jasper has some great deep-dive video essays on game deconstructions over on their yt channel, as well: https://www.youtube.com/@JasperRLZ
Oh, that is SO cool. I love that, I love that! This was everything I hoped it would be. Thank you for this amazing stuff. Truly immersive imagination inspiration :)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -> Bell Cup -> GBA Ribbon Road is my favorite, you can see how small the track is compared to the whole room and how much detail there is out of bounds!
This one is kept up-to-date with the state of the game world. Even includes full NPC locations and animations.
I wouldn't say it emulates so much as implements a renderer for each game. It's totally nuts.
Always remember, folks: the best feature request is a pull request ;)
