Explore the shallow seas as a stingray, vibe coded on ThreeJs using Cursor. I made a similar game more than a year ago, but I hit a roadblock because the models back then (I think I was using Sonnet 3.5) struggled with handling 3D models, but now, it's a...

Vibe coded a fun little "Breakout-inspired" game where you control a gnome with a cannon trying to defend its garden against an onslaught of insects. Cursor was used to make this game, I mainly alternated between Grok Code Fast, GPT 5 and Sonnet 4.5 models. I used LOVE2D game framework/engine, it's really growing on me. The art for this game are hand drawn by me. Music and sound effects from itch.

8 years ago, an idea popped up and I started this as a prototype using pre-rendered character, by the time I learned 3D and animation, and found a way to import 3D models into doom. #doom #modding #godhand #gamedev

I used Cursor to vibe code a simple fishing game prototype on the Unity Engine. Here's my learnings: - I did not use any Unity MCP for this. The game was built entirely by Cursor models (Sonnet 4.6 for execution and Opus 4.6 for planning) - The model was able to set up the game, getting the basic game mechanics working fairly quickly - I had to use the Unity Game Editor UI to attach components to the in-game objects manually, but it was quite easy to follow the instructions given by the Cursor model - Unity Editor is huge and slow! Compared to Godot, I find the UI really clunky I feel tired looking at it - Unity Assets Marketplace is amazing, there are so many amazing art assets there (like the ones I am using for this game). This is probably the biggest strength of Unity. - I had some issues with restoring checkpoints, probably because of how Unity Game Editor UI being really clunky and I had to manually adjust things in the Editor, which the model doesnt have knowledge of Overall, the results turn out pretty decent, but it was a rather frustrating experience, especially when I had to debug issues or rollback changes. I'll explore more vibe coding on Unity but for now, I think I prefer Godot as a game engine. I just wish there is a Godot Asset Marketplace!

This game prototype took about 5+ days to make. It's my first foray into making a proper 3D game with rigged 3D assets and environments so I'm learning a lot along the way. You play as a Assasin mage (armed with spectral blades, teleportation, fireballs, and other spells) and you climb the floating ruins of Atlantis to kill the Regent. This is made with mainly Astra and almost all 3D models are generated on Tripo3D.

I tried this so you don't have to. I know this is going to absolutely shock you but no this does not match the performance of Mythos. A few early thoughts: 1. The limits are pretty bad. I used 100% of my 5-hour usage in less than 1 prompt. 2. I specifically gave it a threejs task because it is an area that SOTA models have made big strides in, that other models just are not great at. I asked it to build a replica of Rocket League. I'll put the prompt in the comments. The game was pretty bad and notably worse than GPT 5.5. Even after multiple fixes, it took 7-8 back and forth with Codex just to get it an almost playable condition. Prior to these fixes, the game was not playable. Maybe it's really strong in other disciplines. I'd love to test that but I hit my limit in 1 prompt lol. GPT 5.5 by contrast did a pretty good job and required no follow ups. Fable would have absolutely nailed this as well. But yeah, early impressions...not great. But I hope I'm wrong. More testing tomorrow.

I had to abandon this short due to a lack of time, but will hopefully return to it in the future. Though it worth sharing as it shows where we are in terms of making a conventional film with with AI. It's from a script I wrote over 15 years ago but never made. This was put together with Kling AI Dreamina AI Magnific.ai and Topaz Labs

I got to try Grok 4.5 in early access in Cursor for the past few days and I absolutely enjoyed it. It feels like Opus 4.8 at 2x the speed at a much cheaper price point. I tasked it to brainstorm > plan > implement a big feature for my game (this act 1 boss fight) and it did not disappoint. - It is much smarter than Composer 2.5, during planning mode, it is able to think through my request more robustly, ensuring that edge cases are covered and makes sure to ask the right questions to confirm with me first. - It is much better at brainstorming ideas/suggestions, similar to Opus 4.8, though I think Fable still edges out a little when it comes to brainstorming ideas and suggestions - It is FAST. probably the fastest of all frontier models (Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5 etc), which makes it a joy to build with, because I can stay in the flow - It has much improved visual/animation capabilities than Composer 2.5, it can code up animations (i wanted an explosion animation with particle effects) with much, much better visuals, animation movement and timing. This is a big leap and I was so happy to see this improvement. - The best part for me is that I can just use the same model from planning down to execution without switching to a lower cost model because the price point is cheaper than other frontier models. I'll be testing this model with more challenging tasks in the next few days but I think this is going to be my main driver for vibe coding for a while. Also, its nice to see Grok back in the race. 🙌

Crossy road made $10M+ in 3 months without charging upfront With only IAP and ads Let that sink in 🤯 building a game like this was extremely complicated 5 years ago → 3D/2D models → Animation → Map design → Game loop and logic Now with Rork max you can solve all of that in 1 prompt With 1 prompt you get: →3D models →The animations →The map →and the game logic I made my own version of crossy road where you play as a lizard And all of this was added by Rork in 3 prompts Everyone is looking at apps But now it’s the time to build a million dollar video game

I made this with my 8 year old son, almost a year ago. I thought I would have time to film it all, I bought costumes, etc... Well, I didn't, because I work a lot of overtime. But! Grok Imagine let me put something together for it that he really loves. I wrote the song, we put the lyrics together, and then he cut his vocal tracks on top of my music. I will put notes in the replies about Grok Imagine that Elon Musk might be interested in since he has been on a promotional kick lately. If you like the song, please show it to your kids and/or follow me, I have 2 more in the pipeline coming not far behind it. I am also starting a YouTube channel for these called MetalForKids. Enjoy the fact that Grok was able to produce storytelling and some consistency even though it wasn't perfect, I'll show you the image I used to make this entire thing in the comments!

I took Grok 4 for a spin this weekend to build this game prototype. I used SuperGrok Chat to generate the initial game prototype and then brought it over to Cursor to continue coding with Grok 4 MAX. Grok 4 in Cursor is like a no-nonsense agent. Doesn't speak much, but delivers the goods. There were moments where I was rate-limited or stuck on a bug or two that I had to get other models to help, but otherwise it's a fast, reliable model to work with. This makes me incredibly excited for Grok Code to launch in August!

Excited to share a new vibe coded prototype: an interactive lesson on ants and their habitat, designed for elementary school students. AI allowed me to finalize this demo quickly. Some educational details still need review, but the main chambers of an anthill are all represented. Everything was made in Omma AI , a Spline product. What's inside: - 3D models created with Omma, all I needed was one image of the anthill's exterior and another of its cross-section to generate both 3D models - Clouds done with sprites - A custom shader mask to reveal the inside of the anthill This was a really fun one to work on!

✨ I made a little demo of #vibejam sponsor Tripo and how you can use it to generate assets for your games In this case I'm generating an apartment flat that's half destroyed and open for my drone sim to fly around, take cover and shoot at enemies from First I write the prompt and select Nano Banana to generate an image first, I get a few different ones, and I select the one I like Then that one is converted into a 3d object called a Smart Mesh Smart Mesh is different than regular image-to-3d models because usually you get issues with uneven polygon distribution, too dense geometry and poor edge flow, so while you think you save time with generating it with AI you end up doing lots of editing after to fix the topology which kinda defeats the point Smart Mesh doesn't have any of this, it's fast and clean low-poly models you can drop into your game Anyway, after generating the model I can then see it in 3d, and if I don't like it, regenerate it, or if I like it start texturing it Once that's done, I export it as a GLB, FBX or OBJ and drop it in (usually I use GLB as ThreeJS seems to prefer that), in my case I just drop the URL into Cursor and let it figure out the placement of the asset into my game!

Here's a look behind the scenes of how I used a 3d model, generated from an image, as a "driver" for ai animation. In the near future we'll see more 3d tools that support these types of workflows, with much more emphasis on enhancing user input instead of just letting the ai do everything. I used the 3d model to generate keyframes that I then animated in Luma Dream. By using a 3d model with a diffusion "layer" done with Krea, I got quite high quality frames with a relatively high consistency as well since the AI didn't have to "hallucinate" that much. I upscaled and detailed the frames using Magnific. Using semi-detailed 3d models as drivers for gen ai is very powerful, and it allows us to use models that are sculpted in a more free-flowing type of workflow that doesn't rely so much on high surface detailing or very time-consuming finish, but instead relies more on gestural 3d sculpting. #art #ai

Over the weekend, I added multiplayer "paint ball" dogfight to Tiny Skies, so players can fly around pelting each other with colourful paint balls, just for fun. I tried meshy and tripo to generate some 3D models for the game and the mesh vertices count are really high and lags the game a lot (probably because my game is a globe with thousands of objects - albeit mostly instanced). To my surprise, I found Gemini 3.1 Pro to be really quite good at generating good looking 3D models that are low in poly count. It generated 3D models at a much higher quality than Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6 and GPT 5.4. You can see the upgraded biplane models and some objects in the video below. #vibejam

I made a Ferrari SF90 spec ad with NB Pro, Reve and more. To put this together, I used and tested almost all the tools we currently have. As usual, it all started from a single image in Midjourney. For the video, Kling AI delivered the best results, every clip was made with it.

A very special behind-the-scenes video! :) This was a small demo I made in a few days to show off an idea for a horror game I had around 2018. Ultimately the game never saw the light of day, but I wanted to show off the work I did on it. :) Maybe, in future, I will return to it.. because I love clay. :) I have made literally dozens of such unused demos. #gamedev
