There are passion projects, and then there are 10,000-hours-of-drawing-pop-culture-chaos-into-a-mega-gif projects. Floor796 is the latter. And it is glorious.
If you've never heard of it, Floor796 is basically the ultimate nerd Disneyland, except instead of standing in line for overpriced churros, you're clicking on characters from every fandom ever invented as they coexist on the 796th floor of a giant space station. Movie characters. TV icons. Anime legends. Memes. Games. Even the Teletubbies. It's all here, stitched together into one huge, living, animated mosaic that your brain could explore for hours.
And the wildest part? It's made by one guy. Not a studio. Not a team of 40 artists in matching hoodies. One person. Working 3 to 5 hours every weekday and up to 12 hours on weekends. I don't even commit to gaming with that level of discipline.
Floor796 began back in 2018, after the creator built his own animation editor just so he could draw everything in the exact projection and palette he wanted. Then he built a rendering engine. Then he built the site. And then he began drawing. His first block took him eight months. Today, each new block takes about a month and a half.
Why the name 796? Because 7, 9, and 6 are the letters G, I, and F. Yes. The entire space station is one giant GIF. A mega GIF. A GIF on steroids.
Every character is clickable. Many things are interactive. Easter eggs are hidden everywhere, including quests, jokes, animations, and pure fandom serotonin boosts. It feels like wimmelbooks for nerds. A pixel-art fever dream. A digital treasure hunt. A place where you can see a pirate party happening next to Jurassic Park next to a Buffy demon bar next to a ping-pong match next to a Xenomorph ordering noodles.
Floor796 is the internet at its best, made by a single artist who just… loves this stuff. And honestly? Same.
