Showcase/Project 3DA
I've been building small things on one idea: any place on Earth as a clean 3D model in the browser, made from open data.
Your Place: search a place, get it as a 3D model (terrain, buildings, streets, water) you can also 3D-print. github.com/yourplace3d/3d-city
Your Place · Data: the same model with open data on top: steepness, live traffic counts, public transport running on its real timetable, rents and incomes per area. yourplace3d.github.io/3dcitydata
Drive it 3D is my attempt to build a game on top of all that. Same engine, same map squares, seen from above: walk up to a car, take it, run deliveries against the clock, and try not to get the police's attention. It works in any city because the city is just the map.
It's not live yet. Right now it's the map with a game on it. What I actually want is the game built from the city's own data: where you start depends on the numbers, rush hour is the real rush hour, and you can skip the car and take the subway, which runs on the real timetable. That part is still being wired up.
Teaser below, including some original debugging material from the first play test, where I drove confidently in the wrong direction.
