Im really digging the atmospheric sound on your site. I had it open in my sea of a million tabs and couldnt find it, but sort of just accepted it :]

Your luhluh_solo3.gif at the top of your page (in the neocities site preview window) kinda looks like the Blind boss from Zelda: A Link to the Past, which gave me flashbacks to trying to beat that boss without the proper weapons.

Wow, it has the same vibe :vv I didn't know this boss, he seems fun. My pink alien "luhluh" is a reference to "Et Bilu" from Brazil, Bilu = Lu Luh and yes...my favorite anime ever: Dragon Ball :333

This is probably one of the coolest sites I've seen on Neocities! I'm mainly a Mac guy and the only older Windows OS I've ever really used was Windows XP, so it's super cool being able to mess around with 99 in a web browser of all things!

Appreciate it. Windows XP is basically the prettiest, but another neocities goat did a fine enough job with that so I'll leave it be :)

Thank you! I've basically lived in a barrage of VMs during this development: Chicago, Windows 3.1, 95, Neptune, 98, 2000 and ME. I'm trying to create a user experience where you dont need to boot up an emulator, and envision a parafictional what-if OS where Windows 98 was delayed an extra year to bridge to NT. The new update, which is TBD, will really knock your socks off methinks.

Aframe question:
Instead of using a heavy physics library (like CANNON.js or ammo.js, which can be super buggy and bloated), I ended up writing a custom collision component attached directly to the player's camera rig. It queries nearby invisible boundary boxes (represented as basic A-Frame boxes with a specific class) and uses basic Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) intersection math to resolve overlaps by pushing...

the player back along the axis of least penetration. For fast movement, it switches to a Swept AABB raycast to prevent the camera from clipping/phasing through walls. For complex 3D GLTF models, I have an auto-collision component that waits for the model to load..

It's far from perfect, and I won't go into the details of how much trial and error there was here.

The backrooms microsite is really cool. Is that your work?

all the images are from backrooms wikis and stuff (as well as i guess 4chan where the original backrooms pic and description came from), but im making my own little plot and stuff with it. i noticed the wikis dont seem to pay tribute enough to the playrooms or the poolrooms or the cookie-cutter neighborhoods and other liminal dimensions that i thought were agreed on, so imma tweak my version of it to fit that lol

Your website, feels like I am experiencing old retro computers. Thanks for this as I wanted to experience what it's like in those times, especially y2k because people have Playboy Logos on their clothes, which is what I like...

I played around for a good hour, and had so much fun!! already bluescreened Win 99 3 times and crashed windows explorer 2 😭 I have absolutely no idea how you managed to make a whole OS like this, but my jaw is literally on the floor :O

Thank you! It's been a massive labor of love for the past 16 months. There will be a big update soon-ish as well to look forward to. If you can, report any glaring bugs you might run into.

It's showing! And I will :D Is it like a real OS that you somehow made available in a browser? I mean it's probably a super dumb question but I never seen something like this before!

It was supposed to be Notepad, Internet Explorer (with pages I repaired from 1999 in archive.org) and MS-DOS. Then it grew to Display Properties, Date/Time Settings, and so on and so forth. Some of the starting code was built off github repos, and some were jettisoned as we learned the design systems were off. Lots of VM referencing. There is some documentation in https://win99.dev/devblog/ but it needs updating.

I absolutely love your art style, especially in the about section. It's reminding me of Another World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLTnEGpEz3M Which is a style I hold very dear to my heart.
