Drop a screenshot, clip, or short description of whatever you’re building right now. Doesn’t need to be polished. Boxes, placeholder art, broken mechanics, weird bugs — all welcome. The messy prototype stage is where the good stuff starts. What are you making?

I’ve created a Telegram game with 100k players, that generates thousands of dollars in revenue. With AI. If I were to coach you, what would you want me to help you with?

I upgraded my Claude account to Max x 20 to take advantage of Fable being available under the subscription model until June 22nd before it’s removed to pay as you go (meaning I won’t be using it again until it comes back into subscription). It’s really absolutely fascinating to see it in action and it is already making me sad to lose it on the 22nd although they have said they will bring it back into subscription options as soon as they can. (I calculated I’ve spent well over $500 CAD on AI in the past month or so under the guise of experimentation but of course that isn’t sustainable, until it starts making me some money). I’ve only been doing fun / creative stuff so far..as Claude is already so good with documents so for run of the mill stuff I’m not sure you would be able to tell the difference. But for my creative / gaming / fun let’s see what it can do brain it’s actually remarkable. As I have a ton of credits to get through (although at this pace I won’t make it through to next Thursday when it resets with any left) it’s allowed me to experiment in a major way. And the beauty of Claude code is if you have the availability of credits you can be coding as many apps as you want simultaneously. So I used the following prompt on 6 games that I’ve previously tried to clone as a starting point to then twist them into something different for my Anomaly Arcade project. In all previous cases the results were never very usable without a ton of tweaking / and normally they are so far off the mark it wouldn’t be worth it. When you would end up with something playable like with simple games like Galaga you would get a working shoot em up that might belong from that era but it certainly wouldn’t feel at all like the original in the slightest, sharing just a tiny piece of DNA. So the prompt is at the bottom of this message. Very simple. And I used it in 6 games just changing the name of the game for each prompt. And I have run them in Opus 4.8 and also Fable 5 on High settings (which is the middle option). Opus would generally create something playable, you might recognize it as a distant cousin to what we were looking for, sometimes it would be playable but be nothing like the original in any way. But very hit or miss. If you got very lucky it may give you a starting point. More complex games like Outrun have no chance at all of getting anything playable on first go let alone similar to the original. Fable on the other hand scores 6 for 6. It obviously did its research very carefully in the case of outrun it found a repo where someone reverse engineered the code. However , as its guardrails won’t allow it to use that it just took all the key values if needed to recreate the overall feel and structure but every sound, graphic, level layout etc is original of its own creation inspired by the original. Or as it calls it “a tribute”. 😁

Something for everybody! I probably haven't said it enough in here but I'm a massive OpenCode fan. Almost all my day to day is now done in OpenCode with GLM5.1(worth its own video) as my coding workhorse. So if you are interested in keeping your options, about as open as they can get, then checkout my OpenCode video below. However if you are thinking of doing a turn-based game at some point ( and if not, why not !? ), then check out my other video, it's very cool. Also there has been some interest in doing a community game together! Now how cool would that be? We could all share our workflows, learn from each other, argue about lore, mechanics, art direction... So here is a survey to gauge interest, if we get enough votes, we move to the next stage...
