Grand Theft Frankfurt
A browser-native open-world driving and action game that reconstructs Frankfurt am Main from real map data.
Field notes
The project describes a build pipeline that turns Frankfurt’s OpenStreetMap extract into one world file, including building footprints, roof shapes, facade classes, roads, tram rails, landmarks, and vegetation. Its stated dataset includes a 35,000-edge road graph, 76 kilometres of tram track, and 52,592 trees. The browser client then reconstructs the surrounding city during movement, with the page listing keyboard, gamepad, and touch controls alongside missions, vehicles, weather, and day-night systems.
