Wow! What a lovely and unexpected response to my last post, it encouraged me to quickly record a video showing nearly 3 minutes of me walking around the city
I do love the aesthetics and I'm sure there is more I can add to it.
Mods: Apologies, I should have done this originally instead of a gif, to avoid spamming the subreddit
Been tinkering with a little first-person city made entirely from symbols — buildings, roads, cars, pedestrians, signs, and all. Still very much a work in progress, but I’m having a lot of fun seeing how far the ASCII look can go.
EDIT: I've uploaded a nearly 3 minute walkthrough video in higher quality, for those interested in seeing more! https://www.reddit.com/r/ASCII/comments/1vnbcwc/ascii_city_prototype_video_walkthrough/
Upvoting on threads like this is often confusing - with all involved writing *the same exact thing*, what and who decides that one contribution is worthy of 27 upvotes, whilst another is deemed worthy of -14 downvotes?
Reddit is often strange and mysterious!

I'm currently planning to detox and limit digit media in my life - I'm planning to get a commodore callback phone and so was looking for a watch that matches - I found the LF-20W, which is an absolute beauty. My first Casio watch! Love the colour and design!
After joining this sub I realised there are so many more watches to collect!
Does anyone else own a LF-20W? I'm very happy with it.
My 10-year-old son and I have been working on a father-son Roblox project together.
He's put a huge amount of effort into it and is incredibly proud of what we've made. As you can imagine, launching a game is exciting... but it's also a little scary when you're 10 years old and hoping people will actually play it - I've attempted to set realistic expectations!
So to celebrate the launch, I'm running another Steam giveaway in the hope that there are some kind redditors here willing to encourage a young developer along the way!
My previous giveaways have all proven popular!
🎮 The Game is called "Climb Mountain for Brainrots" by 'Grondiggy'.
Climb a giant mountain, discover animals, and build the ultimate collection.
🐾 Find animals as you climb the mountain.
✨ Discover rarer and rarer creatures
🏠 Place them in your base
💰 Earn coins automatically
⬆️ Upgrade your base and unlock more space
🏔️ Reach new areas of the mountain and hunt for even rarer animals
The game works on PC, mobile, tablet, and console.
