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)

> 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.

The source map is there. The whole thing is made with JavaScript and with very little (pretty much no?) dependencies. No React, No TypeScript, No 54.643 packages to download. He seems to use lesscss but that's about it.

Sometimes I wonder if we lost the art-craft in all of this frameworks mania. This work has better performance than 99.9% of the apps out there despite being reasonably complex (UI-wise). I legit though this was built with WebAssembly at the initial interactions.

Different constraints produce different results.

Thats curious, there are multiple Russian and even Soviet-era characters which I don't think western people know about.

The two language options are English and Russian.

I learned of this site via HN a few years back and someone mentioned that the author must be Russian and mentioned the characters from Kin Dza Dza. A quick search revealed the film is freely available on Youtube with English subtitles. It's a great film and thankful for floor796 in revealing it as well as being an amazing work of art.

You can click characters to show who they are, as well.

Definitely too many to be random. I think they are all mostly soviet era things, no? So the author is likely an émigré from the USSR.

[cubefox]

Why émigré? He is probably Russian.

[PeterHolzwarth]

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but it would be more correct to say that the author/artist is likely from a country that uses the Cyrillic script.
