Thanks! I would really appreciate it if you tried my game out as well!

Visuals are nice, characters are funny. Found a bug that I drop under the textures sometimes. This is a lot of work for 2 days!

Yeah i fought with it a lot, and i seem to a lot in 3D where they'll make you a soldier in the AI but they're waist deep and their legs are under the surface of the ground and you have to argue back at it like ten times.  You'll get fed your 3D model for sure but then you have to barter for correct collision detection quite a bit.

Glad you gave it a go.  See the other comments I made in the thread about my background, I'm kind of an old fart making complex promptings with extensive gaming memories going back decades.  So i will ask it some weird reference for an arcade game that maybe they only ever made 20 coin-op units and AI being all knowing is like "ok boss" salutes and goes and does it :)

Is this inspired be Earth Defense Force? So many elements :O The music and sound design honestly made me laugh. Good job! You said you made it with AI. Just out of curiosity, what engine and AI did you use? I mostly use Godot + Claude Code

This was a rather expensive experiment luk-pio, i subscribe to Rosebud AI at the $50 a month tier and they are pretty sharp at fast-prototyping Phaser JS and Three JS. then i took it to my paid Claude Sonnet 4.6 outside it (which is $20 a month tier) and remember i've been at this since atari 2600 so i know how to make very weird requests where i type like 2 paragraphs, and then just imagine me doing that 15 times. so as someone in their early 50's i've abortively learned a lot of fundamentals in programming even though i don't code for money, like learned a language every 5 years then stopped at the teach yourself in 21 days level.

so that's part of it and being a wordcel that can write prompts to AI, that are almost like business contracts.

that: will get you density of detail in 2 days.

Cheers!

how is it possible to do it in 2 days?😮

Developer(+1)

I say very ambitious prompts to the AI like 3 paragraphs :)

I'm also very picky how I restrict it like telling it to interpret things only additively and not subtractively.

A hyperlexic brain that will prompt almost like legal contracts helps :)

Glad you gave it a play.
