Newcastle v2

v2 renderer at the v1 spawn: WebGPU, drag to look, WASD to move, Tab for edit mode (the forge)

Heaton Road at 1pm

Heaton Road at 9pm: kerbs, markings, Tyneside doors, street lamps on the power circuit (with a power cut)

Same page on the WebGL2 fallback

The forge: Tab for edit mode, Q for the spawn menu, right-click a thing or the ground

Walk test on Heaton Road: WASD, shift to jog, space to jump, mouse to look (mocap clips; ?clips=procedural for the stand-ins)

Active ragdoll on the test yard's steps: C shows the ragdoll's colliders

Reactions: 1, 2, 3 shove harder each time, 4 kicks a shin, click the body; ride the braking flatbed

Systems sandbox: a 2D street where heat, fire, snow, power and the Metro react to each other. Click the car to blow it up, click a cable to cut it, toggle rain.

Voice recorder: session page for recording bark lines (Chrome or Firefox on desktop)

Live from each builder's worktree, unfinished and unmerged, so expect breakage.

Destruction: blow a hole in one Heaton terrace (goal 6)

Driving: the walk test with the v2 car, F to get in (goal 5)

Editing houses: repaint, doors and windows, porches in the forge (goal 8)

First v2 frame: the reference screenshot
