Such an interesting concept! It would be cool to know a bit more about how the structures are created, to encourage exerpimentation. It would also be nice if the overall layout of the room didn't require the user to turn around to see the structure.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ve actually put together a tool that turns a 3D model file (obj format) into a structured webpage, so that when viewed in The Gridd, it shows the structure! Once I get that tool online so anyone can easily create these web pages, I’ll have an explanation of the algorithm included to encourage experimentation :)
As for the turning around aspect, I see your point. I was going for more of a “surprise!” feel for the player, but maybe I should include something in the UI that encourages the user to turn around (in case it’s their first time in The Gridd). On the other hand, one thing I didn’t make super obvious was that the structure changes as the web page changes (visit a Twitter feed and interact with it to see what I mean); having the web page in the same view as the structure would show how those changes happen simultaneously, which is actually really cool to see.
Thank you for leaving feedback, it’s really motivating for me to see people using it!
By the way, I have more details about the algorithm now, as well as a tool to convert 3D models into web pages for viewing in The Gridd: https://www.gridd.xyz/how-it-works/. Check it out and let me know how it works for you!
