    I like that this is on the front page and there are no comments. I imagine because everyone is busy exploring and didn't yet go back to the comments to see what people think. Good sign!

      Well, clearly you and I have made it out alive :)

              I think there's a case for a corporate class action lawsuit against Neal for employee productivity loss every time every time a new game is published.

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest

                    > There is an urban myth that the release of Dragon Quest III caused a law to be passed in Japan banning the sale of Dragon Quest games or video games in general except on certain days such as weekends or national holidays. When III was released in Japan, over 300 schoolchildren were arrested for truancy while waiting in stores for the game to be released. The rumor claims there was a measurable dip in productivity when a Dragon Quest game was released and although muggings of Dragon Quest titles became so widespread that there were hearings in the Japanese Diet, no law was ever passed.

                      Arrested for truancy?

                      • LeoPanthera · 2 months ago

                        Truancy is a crime in many countries, including the USA.

                        • buzzerbetrayed · 2 months ago

                          An offense, sure. But it’s not a “crime” in the US.

                            Not for the student. But at least in some states, parents can potentially face jail time if their children miss enough school.

                              Kamala Harris bragged about enforcing this law against parents in California. That’s the only way that I know that it’s an actual law that gets enforced because I had never heard of laws like this before, and I grew up in US public schools in the South.

                      • jborichevskiy · 2 months ago

                        I got taken back to Club Penguin as well. Especially clicking into the cave or treehouse and getting transported into a little side pocket of the map. Amazing work!

                        • dtmooreiv · 2 months ago

                          100%, briefly playing this brought me right back to that for a second. I'm glad others felt that same vibe.

                          • sprinkly-dust · 2 months ago

                            Club Penguin always held a special place in my heart but I never reflected on why. I'm sure part of it is a yearning for simpler times and a childhood unawareness of the nature of the world.

                            However, playing this reminded me of exploring hidden parts of a map imbued with love, the joys of finding other souls just lounging around or moving excitedly, and the cute little games and things strewn about every corner.

                            Any tips for getting the right-click menu to work with a touchpad?

                            I two-finger tap, but the menu immediately disappears.

                              Click + hold. Then move onto an option

                                                        This reminds me of the old internet for some reason I can't really nail down, but maybe the club penguin-ess of it.

                                                                please don't re-implement mouse movement, this would work perfectly fine without and now it just feels really bad to use because my sensitivity is fucked

                                                                  • duderific · 2 months ago

                                                                  • asadm · 2 months ago

                                                                    • sgtlaggy · 2 months ago

                                                                      My mouse is set to 400 DPI, acceleration off (libinput flat profile), and default (0) sensitivity (range -1.0 - 1.0, no change at 1.0). Had similar settings on Windows, games have crazy high default sensitivity but websites like this have extremely low sensitivity. I had to crank my DPI up to 2000 to make it usable and 4000 to be comfortable and roughly match desktop settings, but this also made the cursor extremely unwieldy when pausing the game. This and volume control are my biggest gripes.

                                                                      • dag11 · 2 months ago

                                                                        The soul of this game requires that your cursor can go "behind" things (like trees, or partially submerged in water), can have subtle nudges to keep you on paths and add friction when in water, and also to be able to take full control of your cursor for the lazy river etc!

                                                                      • throw5 · 2 months ago

The mouse pointer as your icon feels a very impersonal at the moment. Having avatars would make it feel more like we're all hanging out together in this wonderland.

                                                                        • stronglikedan · 2 months ago

So many little details I love, falling off the waterfall, the cursor size fading into the background, the flashlight in the cave. Haven't explored it all but going to share this right away.

I'm certain it's not GeoIP since my current IP address (and physical location) is different than the country it's showing me from.

                                                                                                                          • flexagoon · 2 months ago

I have a VPS in the Netherlands which most GeoIP providers detect as being in Czechia, for example. I assume whichever one the site is using just has the wrong country listed for your IP.

I'm in Australia and on my work laptop I'm connected to an American VPN. It's showing my location as USA. I was wondering how it's detecting the country.

I tried looking all around the cave, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (although you can find the drawings on the walls)

                                                                                                                                        Edit: I looked at the source though and I don't see anything else clickable in the cave... No hidden secret badge either, maybe it is just for ambiance.

                                                                                                                                        • notsylver · 2 months ago

It would be cool if the radio was used for something though

It’s a bit hard to listen to the whole thing without someone else interrupting by changing the antenna, so here are the audio files:

                                                                                                                                              https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-1.mp3

                                                                                                                                              https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-2.mp3

                                                                                                                                              There’s talk of the tent near the beach, the gong, and gathering at the big fire once you hear the call. There’s also talk of the cave, the star map, trusting the bats, and reading the right side of the book carefully. Though it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope.

                                                                                                                                              The right side of the book mentions the time 8:47.

                                                                                                                                              If we look at the star map, only two of them are pointing inwards. If we consider that a “convergence point”, it should be around the area of the big fire and tent.

                                                                                                                                              That’s as far as I’ve got with this.

                                                                                                                                              • why_at · 2 months ago

                                                                                                                                                I was thinking the "convergence point" was the center of camp with the sign since that's where all the paths meet up and the book mentions something about that. The radio also says "I just put a sign on it".

                                                                                                                                                >it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope

                                                                                                                                                    They specifically mention going to the cave at 8:47 AM on July 3rd, and that the convergence(?) is always scheduled. So i think it might be a bit more specific than just 8:47

                                                                                                                                                    edit: First of all, the entry on july 3rd 1987 refers to the first group (also reffered to as the first session), from the point when they arrived. Given that its also said that this is the second session and that the convergence has always been scheduled, it can be assumed that it will occur at the same time.

                                                                                                                                                    Timings:

                                                                                                                                                    When you turn the radio to the right, the audio states that (waterfront) activities begin at 8:00. Additionally, the left recording states that if a gong is heard, the cursors gather at the fire. The right page on the book states that the group clustered at the fire ring within the first hour, which implies that the gong bell was rung between 8:00 and 8:47 when they went to the cave.

                                                                                                                                                    Convergence points:

                                                                                                                                                    Second of all, There are 2 possible covergence points. The cave, and the point where the sign has been placed. All of the built paths in the camp converge at the sign, this was intentional. Additionally, comparing the star map to the physical math implies that either the sign or the music area are the convergence point. Given that tge convergence point was verified before breaking ground and we literally spawn at the sign. It's likely that the sign is the convergence point.

On top of this, the july 1987 entry states that although the observer had never mentioned the cave, the cursors ended up visiting it anyways. The audio recording states that the caaves are free to visit, but it is reccomended to stay on the marked path and to stay close to camp, since the natural paths lead to the cave and the speaker attempts to divert campers attention from the cave in session 1, it is possible that the cave is a point of conversion, if not a place of significance.

                                                                                                                                                    Anomalies: 1. The speaker emphasises that it is always a beautiful day at the camp.

"the cafeteria will serve what it always serves", feel free to correct me, but the cafeteria is the one place on the camp where the food does not affect you, so if the menu in the cafeteria changes, that could be important.

It is possible that the gong was rang due to bad weather, as that would effect the activity. so it's likely that many of the mentioned features may change on july 3rd.

                                                                                                                                                    This is as far as i've gotten, it's highkey just a theory anyways.

This way you can decode just the individual ones you want.

Every page had short animations that would play by clicking on random things with your cursor, in addition to following along with the story, clicking on single words to hear them pronounced and spelled, etc. It was incredible and paved the way for similar phenomena like clickable Easter eggs in Homestar Runner cartoons.

                                                                                                                                                    This reminded me of that.

                                                                                                                                                  • accCer · 2 months ago

Vibe coded a little script that would play all kinds of melodies including rick roll. I eventually attracted a whole audience of cursors emoji reacting to it.

Using mouse motion as a control scheme is particularly genius - how did no one think of this before? I particularly like the points where the mouse control is taken away from you, i.e. when you float downstream, or when you go down a slide. It's also particularly genius how the mouse can 'teleport' around the screen (i.e. when you go into a door and come out somewhere else).

                                                                                                                                                      This idea could even be taken further - it would be really cool to have terrain that is more difficult to traverse. I'm also intrigued by the lack of walls. I think something like a hedge maze would be really fun!

Having the cursor disappear underneath bridges and behind buildings really helps the illusion.

I can't remember the last time I experienced a firefox-specific browser issue before this. 95%+ of my issues usually come from ublock

It's really frustrating as someone who has spent years developing Babylon and three.js games and apps and uses FF as my primary browser. It basically makes Firefox completely unusable if you're relying on capturing cursors.

However, companies these days seem to respond to enforcement, not the text of the law. They are all using the same few cookie banner libraries/providers, so that they have herd protection (if the eu wants to crack down on it, it has to do it to hundreds/thousands of companies simultaneously). It seems neal chose that route also.

In the car racing track there's an overpass, and the cursor correctly Z-orders depending on whether you're coming from the upper or lower part of the track. Respect.

I frequently tried to move a neighboring cursor by mistake.
