My game is now 80% complete. (still can’t believe how fast it is 🔥) 30+ real-world business models, dynamic weather, and day/night cycles that impact the in-game economy. Now it’s time to test and polish before launch. 👀 Still using Opus 5.5, but use Sonnet 5.5 for smaller tasks.

My phones have been successfully warmed up and the first videos have been posted successfully. I’m about to hand them over to the students I hired so they can continue making content, and 50% of the phones will be automated. My goal is still to scale to 100+ accounts and automate them to promote my apps. I just ordered a wooden phone rack, it actually looks pretty nice. 😌

Claude Fable 5 is insane again. The first time, I only used it to build a 3D game clone. I just used Fable 5 inside Rork to build a new tower defense game in about 1 hour. From the initial idea → level design → heroes & monsters → in-game economy → game art → sound effects → code Each level will have different difficulty, different map upgrades, different monsters, and different bosses. Each tower weapon has unique skills, counters other weapons in different ways, and the heroes are controllable with skills that can support each other... All in one flow. This is getting crazy me again. 🙃

This is the full video showing what I made with Rork and Claude Fable 5. It’s super simple because I wanted to test Fable 5 using completely natural language (and even in Vietnamese) to see how well it would perform without any fancy prompts and it worked surprisingly well. I simply uploaded screenshots of Subway Surfers and told it to "clone this," and it did a pretty solid job. Also, Rork already has built-in integrations to generate game art, sound effects, and 3D models, so I didn’t use any external tools at all. It cost me around 500–600 credits. As I mentioned in my previous video, I wanted to test Claude Fable 5, and since I’m a Rork partner, I had free credits to use. Right now, instead of using Claude Code and then wiring up separate 3D tools and everything else which takes way too much time and $, I just use Rork to build everything and showcase it here. So yeah, that’s my workflow.

I just spent 3 hours vibe coding a Subway Surfers-style game remake. Already built: > Full 3-lane endless runner gameplay > Procedural tracks + obstacles > Coins, combos & power-ups > Animated 3D characters > Missions, season pass & store > Daily rewards + records > Music, haptics & 60+ custom 3D icons > Tech: SwiftUI, RealityKit Still crazy how fast you can build a full game system with AI now. PS: I built the gameplay demo before, but this time I tried vibe coding the full game and open-sourced it. 😌

This AI influencer I built will helping me grow on Tiktok, YT and IG 100% organically. My 3-step system: Step 1: Create an avatar with nano banana Step 2: Generate the script with ChatGPT Step 3: Turn the script + avatar into UGC with Arcads Instead of paying $1,000 per video, I built my own AI UGC factory.

Honestly, I’ve already fully built my app using Rork Max, it’s really good with a native UI. Now it’s just about upgrading the UI to truly feel like a gamified workout app. That way, I can market it much more easily on TikTok and other social platforms. Because if the UI stays this basic, I think the market is already saturated with workout apps, so I want it to stand out and better fit with TikTok-style content. Let's go 💪

Waiting on Apple review (feels slow… pretty sure the review team is on Christmas break 😅). Used the time to vibe-code the onboarding again: more animations, more mascot moments → better brand recognition. Onboarding is now 14 steps before the paywall. Not sure if that’s too much, but after checking top apps in the space… most of them actually have even more 🤷♂️ Shipping while waiting. 💪 Tech Stack: – No code mobile app builder: Rork AI – Mobile: React Native (Expo) – IDE: Cursor – Frontend: Next.js – Payment: RevenueCat – Backend: HonoJS – Database: Supabase – Infrastructure: Railway – AI API: OpenAI (dropping the tech stack here because someone always asks 😂)

My app is finally ready to ship. But since Apple barely reviews on weekends (Fri–Sun), I’m taking this window to polish everything even more. Spent the evening vibe-coding: - smoother text-change animations - a clean slider animation for height/weight inputs → The whole flow feels way more alive now. If all goes well, the launch button gets pressed next week. 🚀 More shipping, less talking.
