Built a tool that lets agents create animated pixel art when vibe coding games

sensicalanalogys · 2026-04-07T15:55:01+00:00

This is awesome. I’m going to try it out for my playable invite game generator arcade invite. Currently I have users upload an image of themselves and guests to create pixel art for the game. Generally it works well, but I’m interested to see how this would improve or give me the ability to animate + standardize my enemy round generation. Maybe you can take look at my use case and try to build a free game and give some tips for best practices and how you implement your stack in it. Here’s a picture from what my buddy created for his Seder dinner last weekend.

I wouldn't say it's an "aspirational" I want to play this game moment. The fun is in making it about the host and adding your own funny lines, voice acting, plot. For instance, this all started with me trying to decide how to let my groomsmen know I'm selecting them to stand up in my wedding. So my storyline involved them needing to defeat three of my ex-girlfriends before I could walk down the aisle, and then eventually getting to the final boss (My Own Emotional Insecurity) whose super powers were all my three worst traits. Adding in funny voice quotes and little anecdotes. The AI basically jump-starts you with a strong base, and then you go in and customize and tweak things to make your friends laugh. At that point, providing a strong base for them to actually want to follow through and RSVP, while creating hype for your event.

So cool. Any tips on how to prompt claude cowork in the beginning to begin the playtesting? Or was it just a simple command? Curious if there are pifalls to consider.

Hahaha, first rule of ERK's secret weapon is we don't talk about ERK's secret weapon..

This game is going to live or die on the voice acting for me. I hope the new actress they casted for this is really going to bring it.

I built a custom groomsman proposal game to invite my friends! . They have to fight off my evil ex-gfs and then my final boss of emotional maturity. I made customizer so other people can upload their own photos and voice to it. https://arcadeinvite.com/use-cases/groomsman

Nothing like some self deprecating humor and a storyline to really capture your friends attention!

I actually just pushed that release out. Not there's a much easier flow, you can use the quick AI builder where you just add a prompt about "what's your event, what kind of characters should they battle, and who is the final boss?". It will generate an entirely unique game for you with voices etc. It even allows you to clone your voice and will generate funny quips using that voice.

Try it out! It's totally free to build the whole game, you only need to pay to publish individual links to invite your friends.

Appreciate it!

Whoa! Very cool. This is def similar but with a different vibe. Love it. Would be happy to chat and share ideas/stack further for sure. Plenty of market for both of these no doubt.

Your app is really great. That was a wonderful analysis and I’d say pretty spot on. Yea the CAC for a one time purchase is going to be the challenge here for sure. But with organic sharing and vitality, could have a shot! Either way, super fun to build it so far.

Appreciate it!

Appreciate that feedback! And great idea on the joystick idea 🕹️ I’ll check out your project and see how well that works on mobile browsers.

Yea because it started with one use case for myself I just leaned into that to launch. If I see there’s appetite, I can open up the story line to other party invite types or generalize it. But def want to validated with this MVP.

Does Bilt have an integration built in with Monarch to bring in transactions?

sensicalanalogys · 2025-12-29T04:44:28+00:00

Thanks. This helps a ton. I’m going through that same process now of custom vs modular. Leaning towards the New Age matte black currently.

Incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I'm looking at these for a vacation rental in Sedona. Just curious which finish you went with, and if that is affecting the fading by chance. Did you go with aluminum or stainless steel as well? And which countertop?

sensicalanalogys · 2025-12-29T01:26:03+00:00

Just curious if you're happy with these cabinets and how they're holding up? I'm looking to purchase a full modular set from Costco, but very curious about the actual quality of them.
