About Project
Neon Drive NYC is a large-scale open-world driving game built entirely with Three.js and vanilla JavaScript — no game engine, no external assets. The map recreates the feel of New York: Midtown skyscraper canyons with setback towers and rooftop water towers, a Times Square district with animated neon billboards, a four-block Central Park with ponds and a fountain plaza, a Financial District of glass towers, wide avenues with three lanes each way, an animated East River crossed by two suspension bridges with catenary cables, Brooklyn brownstones with stoops, DUMBO docks with container stacks, a road tunnel, subway entrances, street-name signs, and manhole steam. The hero car is a Lamborghini-inspired AWD supercar with a torque curve, 6-speed gearbox, traction control, ABS, launch wheelspin, weight transfer, handbrake drifts, nitro, and a cockpit view with a live digital cluster and warning indicators. The city runs as real systems: ten AI vehicle types follow lanes, obey signals, brake for pedestrians, change lanes, and break down into jams; density shifts by district and time of day; patrol police notice speeding and red-light running, and 1–5 star pursuits add coordinated chase AI and roadblocks. Fourteen career missions plus free-roam street events (races, taxi fares, time trials, courier drops) feed an economy with six cars and a garage covering six upgrade lines, paints, wheels, calipers, body kits, and exhausts. GPS navigation offers a rotating minimap, a district-labeled map, click-to-route A* paths, turn-by-turn arrows, and automatic recalculation. A full day/night cycle and six weather states wet the roads and change the grip. Everything streams by chunks with spatial-hash collisions and instanced geometry to stay smooth on mid-range PCs, and saves migrate automatically from both earlier versions of the game.
Key Features
NYC-Inspired Open World
Midtown towers, Times Square billboards, Central Park, the Financial District, Brooklyn brownstones, DUMBO docks, avenues, suspension bridges, and a road tunnel — streamed by chunks.
Toro SV Supercar
A Lamborghini-style AWD wedge with sharp LEDs, diffuser, and sport wheels — plus traction control, ABS, launch wheelspin, weight transfer, and drifts.
Living City
Ten AI vehicle types follow lanes, obey signals, brake for pedestrians, and jam up; density shifts by district and hour; ambulances and fire trucks run with flashing lights.
Police & Pursuits
Patrols catch speeding and red-light running; 1–5 wanted stars bring coordinated chases, sirens, and roadblocks — escape or pay the fine.
Missions & Street Events
14 career missions from VIP transport to a city-wide marathon, plus free-roam race, taxi, trial, and courier markers that respawn around the map.
Deep Customization
Six cars, six upgrade lines, ten paints, wheels, brake calipers, body kits, and exhausts — with live stat bars and visible damage you can repair.
Turn-by-Turn GPS
Rotating minimap and district map with click-to-route A* pathfinding, live turn arrows, distance readouts, and automatic recalculation off-route.
Dynamic World
A full day cycle with lit windows and streetlights, plus clear, cloudy, rain, heavy rain, fog, and storm weather that wets the roads and loosens the grip.
