Vibe coded action RPG demo
No clever prompt behind this. The maker said he just went with the vibe and added details as he went, and GPT-5.6 built the rest, art assets included. It's a full playable action RPG.
Bullish takes
- Generative AI is enabling solo and small‑team devs to ship full games with minimal traditional coding, under the 'vibe‑coded' label.
Critical takes
- Industry veterans like David Gaider are calling generative AI in game dev a 'virulent plague' and criticizing its outputs as 'soulless' and weak at iteration.
Why this matters
Quick AI prototypes keep popping up, showing how fast vibe prompts turn into playable bits.
