A practical request
Laura wanted a 3D grocery-shopping experience that could make online shopping feel more natural.
Built with AgentGrid · Two versions, one bad idea
She asked for grocery shopping.He built grocery smashing.
Michael's wife, Laura, wanted a 3D way to shop for groceries online. Somewhere between the shopping cart and the cereal aisle, the brief became a browser game about destroying the entire store.

Everything must go
The origin story
A love letter to taking the brief too far.
SmashMart was never the sensible answer. It became something more useful: a compact way to learn 3D rendering, physics, interaction design, asset pipelines, testing, and how to coordinate agents around one stubbornly visual goal.
A less practical answer
Michael got distracted by the physics and built a store where the objective was to cause damage instead.
A visible learning curve
Rather than hide the first attempt, both versions stay playable. The gap between them is the point.
Side by side
The progression is the product.
V1 proves the game. V2 shows what changed after building it once. Neither is hidden behind a highlight reel.
V1
The first playable store
Build everything. Then break everything.
A bright, low-poly supermarket assembled from simple pieces, custom product labels, and a lot of physics. Pick up groceries, push carts, smash fixtures, and chase a dollar-value destruction target.

V2
The unfinished second pass
Keep the chaos. Raise the ceiling.
The rebuild starts with a purchased premium supermarket environment, then adds a new first-person controller, physics, carts, interactions, products, and early destruction work. It is bigger, more detailed, and still visibly in progress.

Play the rough draft. Then play the rewrite.
Both versions run in the browser. Start with the fully playable low-poly original, then walk through the unfinished premium rebuild.
