Million Dollar Metropolis

A fascinating interactive cyberpunk cityscape that reimagines the concept of the famous 'Million Dollar Homepage' in 3D. While not a traditional game, this innovative project allows users to explore a neon-lit virtual city where companies can purchase advertising spots on skyscrapers. It's less of a game and more of a creative digital real estate experiment, but its immersive environment and striking visuals earned it a place in our collection of browser-based experiences.

About the Project

Million Dollar Metropolis reimagines the concept of the famous "Million Dollar Homepage" from 2005, where each pixel was sold as advertising space. Instead of a static 2D grid, this project creates an immersive 3D cyberpunk cityscape where companies can purchase advertising spots on virtual skyscrapers.

Built with ThreeJS, the experience allows users to explore a neon-lit virtual city where each building represents a different company or brand. The glowing advertisements create a visually striking environment reminiscent of cyberpunk media like Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell, while serving a practical purpose as digital real estate.

Entrepreneurial Experiment

While Million Dollar Metropolis is more of an interactive experience than a traditional game, we've included it in our catalog as an interesting game-adjacent project that showcases the creative possibilities of browser-based 3D environments. The project blends art, commerce, and technology in a unique way that pushes the boundaries of what can be created with web technologies.

As of the latest update, there are still 3952 advertising spots available out of the total 4000, making this an evolving project that will continue to grow as more companies join the virtual cityscape.
