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.

It's open source: https://github.com/magcius/noclip.website

I wouldn't say it emulates so much as implements a renderer for each game. It's totally nuts.

I contributed one earlier this year! The community's a great bunch and I learned a lot.

Always remember, folks: the best feature request is a pull request ;)

In a similar vein, but for Old School RuneScape, is https://osrs.world/

This one is kept up-to-date with the state of the game world. Even includes full NPC locations and animations.

This is so sick. I've been playing OSRS on and off for a while but for some reason never heard of this.

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!

The Portal 2 renders were genuinely surprising. Crazy what we can do in a browser today
