  "blurb": "A fast-paced CS-style FPS where every pixel is a real ray — online multiplayer via room codes, three themed maps, HDR bloom, and weapons modeled + path-traced in Blender Cycles. WebGL2 ray tracer with capsule-limb animated characters. All assets generated: procedural GLSL textures, DSP-synthesized SFX, Cycles-rendered weapon sprites and map dioramas. 86-check automated playtest.",
  "description": "NEONSTRIKE is a fully ray-traced first-person shooter in the spirit of Counter-Strike. No rasterized geometry: a WebGL2 fragment shader casts primary rays against the analytic scene (AABB level geometry + multi-sphere humanoid characters), then shadow rays, ambient-occlusion rays, and configurable reflection bounces, with ACES tonemapping and theme-tinted fog and sky. Three maps with distinct layouts and moods: VECTOR (neon night three-lane arena), FOUNDRY (ember-lit furnace hall with a raised central platform), and CANOPY (violet dusk rooftops with bridges and a lower street level). Solo mode is CS-style rounds vs waypoint-navigating bots with a buy economy; multiplayer is free-for-all deathmatch — create a room, share the 4-letter code, friends join through a WebSocket server that authoritatively applies damage, kills, scores, and respawns. Every texture is procedural GLSL and all 21 sound effects are synthesized DSP, verified pixel-by-pixel and sample-by-sample in an automated headless-Chrome playtest that also spins up two real browser clients to play a networked match.",
