Whoa, man! This is tight! Unbelievably great. I dig the tracks, the lo-fi pixel aesthetic and variety of generated content is amazing. I'd love to see an toggle for a timer to reroll, maybe with an option to keep the same track
Well thank you, and I must say you reading my mind, I already thought of some timer or music selector. The 10 seconds tracks is the main problem of this generator, cause the loops get old pretty fast, but they also contribute to the uniqueness of each generation. I had to choose between doing only 1 long track or doing multiple short ones, for the sake of variety I choose the second option, thinking people will not stay here for too long. So yeah, maybe creating a "long trip" mode can be cool.
The cars look good and colourful, if maybe a little bit impractical to actually drive for the longer models :-D I think my favourite part was the small ornament at the front of the car, especially the bird one. Regarding audio I always encountered an issue on the same few songs (namely Ladies and G's, Take a amen break and Heatwave) on Firefox, but they seem to play just fine on Chrome.
Hey, glad to see you here for the third time in a row, procmaster. And thank you, you manage to reproduce the EXACT same bug I encounter too, on the EXACT same tracks, I have no freakin ideas of what can cause that, this 2 tracks have nothing special, and its the same in the code. I'm lost... I can't help but suspect my dear Blazingfox of being at fault in this case, chromium based bros works fine too on my side, this driving me insane...
Hearing that your issues were on the same track intrigued me so I did a little bit of sleuthing.
The error I was getting in my browser's console was "The buffer passed to decodeAudioData contains invalid content which cannot be decoded successfully."; this does not help a lot but confirms that the issue is with specific files being unreadable for Firefox (or at least the AudioContext part of Firefox, as opening the file by itself in a new tab works like a charm).
Using the sample code from MDN's documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/BaseAudioContext/decodeAudioDat...) I managed to reproduce the issue locally, which definitely excludes the issue being from your code (yay !). I still do not know exactly what went wrong with those files, but simply re-encoding them with a newer version of the encoder (Lavf57.56.100 => Lavf58.29.100) fixed the issue for me (I did that using ffmpeg, ffmpeg -i ladiesandgs.webm ladiesandgs_fixed.webm) made the previously unplayable files work just fine in Firefox.
The files I noticed were affected and confirmed fixed with this workaround are "Ladies and G's", "Take a amen break", "Heatwave" and "Memories".
Sir, you are an absolute legend, a nerd and a real gentleman. I must rename the first track "Ladies and Delca" now ! I see 3 possibilities : -1 : I used a very old "deprecated" 🦜version of FL studio, my DAW , even a 32 bit one, and I had to manually export 40 songs into .ogg, so maybe something went wrong here, or ... -2 : Then I had to import the songs into the Construct 3 engine which then convert them into .webm for maximal compatibility and it goes wrong here, or... -3 : During the export/compile/minify process...
Anyway, thank you ! I will work on that when my body and mind has completely recover from the jam. I suffer what I call the "post jam disgust " right now.

The tracks, graphics and vibe all work together incredibly well :D
Chill pixelart vibes, will be back for more~
The color tones are beautifully lit excellent job! They really bring out the vintage theme

Yeah, it'd be nice to have always running somewhere. Could also be cool to have some sort of "listen mode" where it could react to music too
Stylish!
super nice visual design!!
Great style choices and the parallax effect really adds to the effect.

Sweet vice vibes, man! Very clean art. Glad to see you in action!
MY BOY !
