- 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.
- 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.

- 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.

- The entire page was amazing, but holy shit that art in the middle that shows how the current system works where kids are sent to school to study and then they graduate, get crushed into becoming mere tools instead of the human beings we are meant to be.

- This reminds me a lot of the 2000s internet that I grew up on. This was the kind of thing I used to find using StumbleUpon.

- Amazing work, but I didn't expect to see Wunschpunsch (https://floor796.com/#b2l2,302,256) or Kommisar Rex (https://floor796.com/#b3r1,163,852) there. Others mentioned Soviet-era characters, which makes me curious about the cultural background of the creator.

- Not often you see Lexx references: https://floor796.com/#t0l2,597,381
- I got inspired by this the other day and made something related, though user-drawable:

Obviously nowhere near as good as Floor796, but if you like pixel art, maybe you'll like my weekend hack.

- One of the coolest things I've seen this year! A true labor of love!
- Thanks for sharing this one. There's so many brilliant and funny little vignettes in this piece. I'm amazed at what some people are able to do, so far outside anything I could dream about creating.
- 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.

So fun

- Reminds me of xkcd's "Click & Drag"
https://xkcd.com/1110/
- There is now a neon add for some weird place called 'Hacker News'; right between the ones for Dunder Mifflin and Weyland Yutani Corp, over by the Catbus, behind that new huge pirate ship, but if you hit the Black Mesa ad you've gone too far.
- sites like this make the internet a better place.
- This is an internet masterpiece

- I think it will absorb at least as many hours as doom scrolling, and be much better for me.
- I giggled at Monkey Island and then I saw the tentacle... but from Half Life. This is a masterpiece and it keeps on giving.
- I wish I could show my kid this incredible mega gif. But it's NSFW ;D

- Goofy has a sound clip when you click on it. Are there other ones with sound?
- If you're curious: the name alludes to this being the 796th floor of a space station.
- OMG... stunning maximalism

- One of my soft milestone tests for AGI is if this gets reproduced in a World Model with Gaussian Splats or whatever it is by then that lets you do gameplay walkthrough in first player egocentric 3D-6DOF-360 view in XR with some friends till then its just all stochastic parrots on word calculators whats the point

- What did they do to Muzzy?!
- the guy must have started consuming media in the womb and has an amazing ability to capture iconic characters and moments with the smallest possible numbers of pixles, the proof of that is bieng able to identify many familiar characters, but the ones from different cultures register as extras and are devoid of personality, pattern recognition doing it's thing effortlessly.
It's very much of our time, and speaks to the need for drama and absurdity, and also the role that AI is bieng pushed to fill, while showing that for true iconic imagery , human biengs still have the edge.

- What did I just click on? Love the no context drop in with 37 points and no comments.
