I can’t believe I just spent 2 hours vibe coding a fully playable 3D chess game. 🙃 Idea → game art → 3D models → code → playable game. Game development is becoming insanely fast.

Man I've been having a blast building Volt... Built the game one morning, then kept building worlds and adding ideas. So fun.

this is not "game development" tho. this is twitter post development. I get the excitement, and im in your boat, but it's not that easy when you aim at production level game. spent last 2 days for a window in multiplayer. A single window.

Game art and 3D is something I’m not sure how to implement using vibe coding any hints?

Incredible I’ve been waiting for someone to do a violent chess game - kill shots / fatalities like MK II 🐉 - different chess player themes - soldiers - mythical creatures - animated movements + reactions You basically have it. Very well done, my friend🫡👍

Are game art and 3D models also generated with AI?

the 3d models are the part that breaks my brain. code's been quick for a while but generating usable models in the same sitting still feels illegal lol. what'd you use for the assets?

Can you build this? It's a combination of Amiga's 3D Battle Chess and Spitting Image:

Thats look insaneee!! How were you able to create 3D models so well using ai?

it looks great, I went digging for something you might enjoy its the literal algorithm for so called kasparov machines, the machines themselves are quite outdated but this link here is the raw algorithm that handles variant levels of chess prediction as a computer opponent, implementable without complication and super understandable to any vibe coding environment to understand how to add the logic from. hope that helps your fun times.

Everything can now be built within hours. The only problem is complex SaaS, validation, and marketing.

Seeing this I just remember some years ago; I tried to make something similar, but I couldn't be able to. But now it is possible. What a wonderful time to be a software engineer.

Same thing happened building my last SaaS. Claude agents doing the architecture calls, cursor filling in the gaps. Weeks of work compressed into days. The bottleneck stopped being code and became knowing what to build next.

I played a round and this was very cool. Although when you win it's like two audio tracks are playing on top of each other.

So cool it's just three.js. Graphics are quite detailed for a browser game. Works flawlessly. What model did you use?

It took me 9 hours to make this shooter on Luna Max. I realize now that I shouldn't have added the pre-made 3d gun model - it took us 3 hours to align it. But it still didn't work out.

That's so nice, man. You'd better just make the floor a paler color. The screen is very vividly coloured chess pieces are not fully focused.

I’ve been vibe coding a game myself too, but yours looks way better! Curious, did AI find the game assets for you, or did you source them and give them to AI?
