The editor that is used to draw these animations https://floor796.com/editor/l0 https://floor796.com/editor/l0
Author has a YouTube channel too somewhere where you can see him making a drawing start to end. (edit: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCribkEGzOuMQ9ozb0ektMCQ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCribkEGzOuMQ9ozb0ektMCQ)

> The creation of Floor796 started in 2018. I spent the first year creating the animation editor, the rendering engine and the site itself. Then I started drawing the first characters. I drew slowly at first, as I had to get used to the projection and constantly improve the animation editor. I've been creating the first block for over 8 months. Now I draw 1 block in about 1-1.5 months.
Author made everything, including the editor, by himself.
- mapcars 10mo agoThats curious, there are multiple Russian and even Soviet-era characters which I don't think western people know about.
- mojuba 10mo agoDefinitely too many to be random. I think they are all mostly soviet era things, no? So the author is likely an émigré from the USSR.
- cubefox 10mo agoWhy émigré? He is probably Russian.
- PeterHolzwarth 10mo agoWell, not to put too fine a point on it, but it would be more correct to say that the author/artist is likely from a country that uses the Cyrillic script.
- horpia 10mo agoAuthor is from Minsk, Belarus. This information is in his profile on Artstation

- Rendello 10mo agoYou can click characters to show who they are, as well.
- tartoran 10mo agoI just spotted Steven Segal is munching on a carrot.
- Hnrobert42 10mo agoThe two language options are English and Russian.
- MisterTea 10mo agoI learned of this site via HN a few years back and someone mentioned that the author must be Russian and mentioned the characters from Kin Dza Dza. A quick search revealed the film is freely available on Youtube with English subtitles. It's a great film and thankful for floor796 in revealing it as well as being an amazing work of art.
- csomar 10mo agoThe source map is there. The whole thing is made with JavaScript and with very little (pretty much no?) dependencies. No React, No TypeScript, No 54.643 packages to download. He seems to use lesscss but that's about it. Sometimes I wonder if we lost the art-craft in all of this frameworks mania. This work has better performance than 99.9% of the apps out there despite being reasonably complex (UI-wise). I legit though this was built with WebAssembly at the initial interactions.
