This weekend I explored making another game prototype. I grew up playing simulation games like Game Dev Studio and Dungeon Village, so I thought it would be fun to make an MMO dev studio game, where you are the developer building a fledgling MMO for players to play in.... show more

What do you think about implementing live in game transactions? No fees 268ms conf time Pure digital cash Endless opportunities ???

It's looking nice! The ui is also good. It's the hardest thing to nail down on games, don't you feel that?

Danny Limanseta2 months ago

yeah so far UI has been quite challenging to get it right because models are not great with game UI yet, theres a lot of pixel-pushing prompts needed to get it to look right. But its improving fast!

Digital Dimension2 months ago

Yeah! When making prototypes I already give him pointers. He just feels the screen like it's a website. Overall, really fun prototype you made, congrats! That's how I spend my weekends, just coming out with weird ideas to test out haha

You should make a course about creating games using AI. I have no idea how you make your games look so good.

Clean and intuitive design. "but somehow I still feel like it's missing something" - Just a suggestion: each character can have some unique traits pool (based on his class) from which player picks one after character levels up.

Was this vibe coded? Art is awesome, did you draw yourself?

Danny Limanseta2 months ago

Yup! art is generated by Grok Imagine

Gikis2 months ago

Well done! Have you explored all options for art generation and did Grok prove to be most consistent?

I like the concept bro. Clever!

what engine are you using?

THE_VAULT2 months ago

A game about building the studio that builds the game has a great built-in tension. The player gets to feel every compromise from both sides.

what models do you use for game dev and what subscriptions do you have? also curios if you are using game engines or just web stack

Masterxexe2 months ago

looks pretty good actually should continue it

im building something like this but its more a flex about how advanced of an NPC system i can make with as little compute as possible ...

Loresong2 months ago

That's a nice idea... would be a shame if someone... stole it.

janifica2 months ago

The tech tree and progression already give the prototype a strong scaffold. I’d test the missing piece as a player decision loop: what choice creates a memorable trade-off between studio growth, game quality, and responding to player demand, rather than just unlocking more content?

0xJeff2 months ago

Interested in learning your tech stack. I have some few ideas that I want to execute.

I am having such a blast making a Factorio styled game with Claude Fable 5! Making sprites is so much better, and the designs are detailed and I would consider this to be a turning point in Ai game dev, you can really make a game now with AI. This was just a few hours of design in my little test game but i honest can say its doable now. Tell me your thoughts, I would love to hear them! Anthropic

I just watched AI build a game from a sentence. No Unity. No Unreal. No code. No files. I simply described the game I wanted to make, and Gear Zero planned it, coded it, created the visuals, and turned it into a playable game in my browser. But this is the part that got me 👇 You don’t just generate it and leave. You keep talking to Gear. Change things. Add features. Polish the game. Keep building. It feels less like using an AI game generator… …and more like having a game dev team you can talk to 24/7. The future of making games might actually look like this. Try it →

Looking through old files, I found this thing. It was an experimental game I tried to make. I thought it would be a fun game. It turned out to be frustrating to play, so I dumped it. #missinghalloween

LeBron on his famous game 6 legacy game in Boston: “When I went to Boston for this one game, I felt absolutely nothing. It got to a point where I was just out there trying sh*t. I started the game like 8-8. And everytime I would shoot , it would just feel so perfect, and [the ball] was barely touching the net.” A performance we’ll never forget.

Rant on why I hate playing in the EU. If you don't treat a game of Valorant in high elo like it is life or death you become hated. I play a video game of Valorant to enjoy myself, but for some reason, many EU players think you shouldn't have fun while gaming . Isn't the point of gaming to have fun?! this game is the perfect example of what I mean

ALERT! IT IS TIME TO SAVE THE MARKET! ...And Crypto gaming. I will be launching a new DAO on daos.fun This DAO is going to be a decentralized game publisher , the idea is to make fun games, lightly integrate crypto (don't ram it down users throats), and just focus on the stuff people like....Being able to win Sol in pvp death matches. The idea is simple. You have a "safe" zone where you farm, and pvp is enabled but you just lose items, and you have a "hard core" zone, where you enter and wager SOL, you have to enter, kill the players, take the loot, and extract before the mobs or others kill you. If the monsters kill you, the sol goes to further game development. If you win, you keep it. REA HIGH STAKES PVP. It also makes the game fun to watch, stream. I envision two player types, the professional filipino web3 gamer kid, this guy is going to grind, then chill in the dungeon and try to kill you, and the First world-er pay to win type. who wants to burn like 20$ to gear up, and try to kill the filipino kids. Its still skill based enough that you cant really pay to win. You just get good gear, but that won't matter if you dont have the mechanics down. Similar to Albion online. The trailer attached is all real game play, the game is LIVE and ready, but still has some bugs, but will be playable right out the gate (private beta first) , and DAO token holders will have an active say in the shape of the game. I wouldn't yolo your life savings into this, its mostly a passion project I funded myself, and I am going to keep launching different games, and each might have its own token or just use the DAO token, its all going to be on a game per game basis, but the point is to allow people to invest and capture some of that value, and to build in public and build up a player base with each new game the DAO launches. I have already poured like 50k+ usd into it, and I dont care if I make nothing, I just am so tired of shit tier crypto games and think we deserve better.

Just added NPCs and an in-game guide to my game. My workflow is literally: - I come up with ideas - Design the game mechanics - Opus 5.5 builds everything - I sit back and test it Also added some new game art, and it’s finally starting to look like a real game lol. Still crazy that I can build an entire game with AI as a solo dev. 🤯

I asked Astra to create a Catan game in three.js and it came out incredibly well. I played it, and the animations make it so much fun. The instructions and info cards make the game easy to learn. It even has AI players and trading. Astra used another game I had started building as a reference. The more games I build, the more skills and assets I have for the next one. It can remix the UI, 3D models, pages, and sounds instead of rebuilding everything. Now I want to see how many other board games I can make from this foundation.

Hasan Piker talked about the game 'Freelancer' and about how much the game means to him. It made him want to become a game developer. He also admitted that his love for the game is probably what made his parents realize that he was autistic: "When Freelancer was first made and I played it, I couldn't believe it. I remember at the time, talking to my dad and being like, 'It's so cool. There are friends that you make in this universe that you see in other planets.' And my dad was like, 'What the fuck are you talking about?' I think that's when they knew I was autistic. That's when they knew I was a little touched, a little special. And I remember my dad getting so scared that I might be schizophrenic because I was talking about these compelling characters in a fucking video game. For those of you don't know, a little nugget of lore for you guys, this is back when I wanted to be a game developer. I used to draw all the time and I wanted to pursue design so that I could potentially work for a game developer. This is like baby Hasanabi lore."

Tried ArcheAge Chronicles and it feels like it's another game coming out of factory. - Game looks AMAZIN but It's like the game is missing soul. - I played solo but it's a multiplayer game - Combat is decent but there is no weight and feel to it. - Has a character creator. - Parry doesn't feel right. Try it out, you might like it.

Aydan on the difference in Apex & Warzone: "they've done a good job at making this game more accesible to people that don't play, but still keeping it sweaty & fun.. if you were to ask people who grind this game, they probably have their own complaints.. i just feel like my game has more issues, so i can appreciate alot of the qualities of this game.."🗣️

One distinct memory I have from playing games in the 80s was that every once in a while I would stumble across a game that looked epic but I had exactly zero clue what to do. Wizball was such a game. Looked and sounded pretty cool, but... "where to go, what to do, and what's the goal here?" - something along those lines went through my mind at the time. I stuck with it an eventually (much later) figured it out. Do you remember a game that you played but didn't really know what the goal was or how to get there?

if you want to make $1,000,000 in crypto you have to treat it like it's numbers on a screen... like it's a video game "I told myself if I wanted to make a million dollars, I actually have to be cold as fuck and treat it like it's nothing. you have to treat trading like playing a video game"

If you stopped playing Crimson Desert when you got to this point in the game, I understand. Save you the headache and watch a guide on the puzzles I couldn't be bothered. I'm here for the violence and the amazing world to explore. This game is literally Zelda for adults and I dig it😂

#Bengals QB Joe Flacco was asked why he’s still playing at age 40 — after making so much money, winning a Super Bowl, and having a young family — and his answer was perfect: “You only get a chance to play in the NFL once. I feel like I’ve worked really hard to be a guy that gets to play in the NFL, and I don’t want to take that for granted. I still feel like I can play the game at a high level, and I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror when I’m 50 years old and say that I gave it everything I had.”
