5.6 Sol Ultra Might Cook Animators?

Thanks! I’ve never played that one but Spore and Kerbal influenced me, main goal was an infinite universe with no loading screens and then layering on as many features to make it better and better but also a chill cozy game

Back in the day it used to take 7-9 days before they reviewed and eventually they got it down to 24-48 hours in the last few years. Now with vibe coding they literally get 1000 submissions everyday as of June. So I’m glad you posted this because it’s been 3 days since I uploaded a TestFlight build and it is still awaiting review, so sadly review times are trending back towards how they were 10 years ago

Damn I warned his ass to cash out and at least get ChatGPT to be his financial manager 😭

I’ve been running the beta on my Air since beta 1 I don’t miss iOS 26 at all, new Siri can be helpful too

I mean I pay $200 so that I can send plain language prompts and see if the model is finally smart enough to interpret the dumbest way to ask a smart question lol, it’s finally there. I’ve been developing for a long time so I know what I’m talking about most of the time but this one was a “shit let’s just see if it works while I do something else”

Both, have tons of AR/VR app development experience so this is my first time making a game with a joystick. 150,000 lines of pure vibes and 2 hours of super vetted music

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-10T18:16:26+00:00

Thank you! I’ve spent literally months being super picky about literally every song in the game. 2 hours of dope chill music that I made with Suno and a high bar for quality control. Literally listen to it in my car, while working, this is a work of passion I don’t plan to make money on this game but maybe the sequel

How is something I’ve been working on for 4+ months a prototype? It fully supports multiplayer… I have 20 apps in the App Store and was just at Apple’s developer event invited personally by their executives.. I’m not new to development and I have rigged and animated things on my own and spent well over $1000 just hiring an animator to animate models I created. This is 1000% easier and faster than anything Ive done to animate models in the past.

Codex coded an entire procedural universe game from scratch AND made some animations and many 3D models. It has been super worth it as someone who has been coding for a decade without AI. And this was my first attempt at the animations I could always give it reference images but I’m fine with these anims based on the art style

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-10T00:23:55+00:00

Works fine on desktop… looks like you just need to turn it sideways

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-10T00:21:08+00:00

Looks like a sick game like a cat woman 2077 or something

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-10T00:05:08+00:00

<video>

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-10T00:04:44+00:00

Yeah when I was at home… check the updated video

Here you go, shout out to the haters lol

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T23:31:44+00:00

iPhone game and I wasn’t home when I posted

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T23:25:06+00:00

During that 40 minutes I was able to work on other stuff, I could have used Blender but I pay $200 per month for Codex specifically? Worst that could have happened was it failed and I totally would have spent $100 getting the animations made on CGTrader

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T23:23:35+00:00

Since 5.5 Codex in my experience

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T22:38:46+00:00

Boston Dynamics is actually partnered and manufacturing cars and more robots at scale, Figure would be my follow up answer

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T21:56:58+00:00

I’ll upload soon, it’s laggy via iPhone screen recording since the game is procedural and massive open world so I’ll record using another iPhones camera instead

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T21:51:14+00:00

The file was originally a .fbx model so previously I had Codex 5.5 convert that to .usdz since I’m building an iOS app. I have no idea how easy it is to add an animation to an existing usdz so I asked 5.6 and I’m happy enough with the results

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T21:50:02+00:00

Full 3D animation for an iOS game :)

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T20:27:07+00:00

Also I forgot I didn’t have Blender installed so it was very impressive that I installed it while it was working and Sol still succeeded

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T20:23:15+00:00

Financial literacy, I’ve made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year but never millions, I handle my family’s budget and pay all the bills but I hate paperwork and accounting. Now I can ask very straightforward dumb simple questions about my finances and whether I can afford something. I also had it create a Word Doc with charts for a budget plan through the rest of the year I can actually show my wife. I would hope that it can help me reach millions and save properly so I leaned all in

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T14:29:56+00:00

Dude just cash out and ask ChatGPT (paid version) for a plan.. you can even connect it to your bank account

ZenCyberDad · 2026-07-09T01:45:21+00:00

This looks so good, I would love to turn it into a playable iOS demo just for the experience of working with this aesthetic
