## Maker first comment — draft for Artem
I wanted a Tokyo driving game that you can open in a browser and immediately get lost in for a few minutes.

Tokyo Afterhours adapts Ginza, Tsukiji, Shiba, Shibaura and the bay into a compact arcade playground. The latest addition is city life: nearby invitations, NPC club sprints, parking meets, local jobs and discovery rewards. You can play solo without an account, or sign in to race in online rooms.

I built and iterated on it with Codex, with hands-on direction and repeated driving tests. Much of the work has been the unglamorous part: connecting roads, fixing collisions, streaming scenery and keeping mobile browsers usable. Models, map data and artwork have their own credits; this is not a claim that every asset was made from scratch.

It is still a browser beta. I would love to hear where you enjoyed driving, where the city feels empty, and what phone/browser you tested on. What should the next neighbourhood event be?
