I've had completely unanticipated traffic to Slow Roads, and I'm beyond grateful. However, I'm also facing unanticipated costs - if you'd like to support the project so it can remain free, please consider donating: ko-fi.com/slowroads (1/2)

Some fun trivia - the ground textures for the off-world locations were composed entirely of real Martian images taken by @NASAPersevere

After 16 months of work I'm ready to share slowroads.io, my project to procedurally generate scenic landscapes, packaged as a chill driving game. Built with @threejs to run in your browser - no logins, no installs, just roads...

One final thing that's been raised a lot - this isn't technically a bug, it's just the old geometry being recycled. I figured auto-resetting you for driving too far backwards would be disappointing. Have fun flinging yourself into the sky 😉

In the meantime here are some handy features that are unintentionally hidden:
- U to toggle the UI
- P to pause
- F11 for fullscreen
- F3 for FPS overlay
- Hold \ and tap space to lock the handbrake
- You can set "?seed=x&topo=[easy|normal|hard]" in the URL (more to come!)

I've spent the last 48 hours completely floored by all of the support, and I couldn't be more thankful 🤍 I'll aim to have hotfixes by the weekend for the most urgent issues, such as international keyboard support, UI visibility, and terrain bugs... (1/2)

Here's a tl;dr (though still admittedly quite long) for the core elements of Slow Roads. I'll see if I can get something with pictures up next weekend 😉anslo.medium.com/slow-roads-…
