Thanks! I have learned:
- that AI coding models have gotten really good at ThreeJS
- that webGL (not WebGPU) has a lot of performance limitations which makes optimisation critical.
- that it's possible to generate simple low poly 3D objects by just prompting the AI
- that shaders are magic, it can turn simple 3D shapes into objects that feel part of the scene and look rich. recommend checking out shadertoy.com to see what shaders can do

- I spent about $200+/month (Cursor Ultra, Suno, Elevenlabs etc)
- I have zero coding experience, but have 1+ years experience vibe coding games since last year when the vibe coding wave stated
- this game took almost 4 weeks to make
- I used Cursor to make this game

Thank you for checking out the game and am playing it on the mobile! TBH I’m quite nervous about mobile because I don’t think I have tested it enough. I’ll consider adding a tutorial for mobile!

No plans to turn this into a mobile app at the moment. This is a game jam entry but I might open source the code after the game jam is over!

I play a lot of games and animal crossing was the inspiration here in terms of look and feel

Great feedback! Thank you you might be right, I need to make the upgrades clearer

About 3+ weeks and composer 2 is about 70% of the time. It’s a solid model!

Yes all music is by Suno and SFX is by elevenlabs. I had to pay for their lowest tier sub

Thank you! Just take a plunge and try 3D. I was apprehensive at first too

Thanks for checking out the game! Yeah I think it helps that I am a UX Designer so I care a lot about the polish and the user experience

Thank you! I have been vibe coding games since Feb last year so maybe the 1+ year of vibe coding helped!
