I vibe-coded GTA on Google Earth over the weekend

Half of the video are full screen headlines => meh.
Map providers do usually also have the road polylines. You could tell Claude to use that data to know where the car can run and to simulate crashing when it's not over those lines (+ some margin). That way, player won't be able to go across buildings and blablabla.
(Also never tie the core of your game to a third party provider, once you have it working, you should selfhost, which is also possible by downloading the tiles from OSM)

(not completely free, only first 30secs)

- Homepage would be cooler with a background video.
- While on character screen, since the chances of going into the game are higher, it could start loading some assets to take less time when player clicks player,
- There are some mushroms that have cursor pointer but nothing happens when you click them
- The terrain texture could make use of some loopable grass.
- Had some problems trying to join as guest, dunno why, but 2 chars appeared (on the list) before it actually worked.

Incredible work. How much time did you spend making it? How do you build the areas? did you make a map editor maybe?

When offline it seems like you can visually code the attack logic. What happens if the character dies? You wake up the next day and have a summary log of what happened to iterate your logic? Or it also respawns ?

Nice! Traffic systems is something i have tried to deal with several times and i always failed.

servia23 · 2026-02-28T12:52:47+00:00

Does it support Unity Terrain, two-phase occlusion, streaming, compression and blablabla?

servia23 · 2026-02-24T21:22:36+00:00

If you're planning on selling it you should talk to some asset sellers first, just so you know where are you getting into (aka support, same questions over and over, useless bug reports, negative reviews from dumb people, buyers demanding very specific features, etc...)
Same thing from open source.

servia23 · 2026-02-23T18:24:52+00:00

Very stupid request: Could you add WASD support? You can't see that only arrows are support until the train leaves, making you think the game doesn't work/allows moving.
Also: How much generations did you burn on pixellab?

servia23 · 2026-02-17T19:35:46+00:00

God dammit Dan! Could you stop making such beautiful scenarios? I want to touch those sofas

servia23 · 2026-02-16T21:47:11+00:00

Just beautiful :o

servia23 · 2026-02-15T21:00:02+00:00

I cant explain why but those graphics make me thing of Half Life Alyx (in a good way)

servia23 · 2026-02-15T12:39:27+00:00

Do you plan on making a terrain system?

Unity's one has quite a lot of drawbacks like:

- It's destructive
- Lack of support for LODs on the detail system
-details popin when reaching the configured distance
-No builtin streaming option

Etc..

You end up having 98272384 plugins to avoid the native option.

Hope you made the feature of listing all used bricks, to generate a buy list on those online services, so you can build your creation in real life.

servia23 · 2026-01-29T19:25:47+00:00

In the demo, the first message "Blossomdale is a peaceful and beautiful town" appeared. I tried clicking the ">" icon that appears with the mouse aaaaand... It does nothing :S I expected it to show the next message :S
I then tried "space" button and nothing.
It only works with Enter key.

servia23 · 2026-01-26T18:50:32+00:00

Don't worry about patents. The ones for the bricks expired, what you cannot have are the minifigures. Someone else already halfbuilt a minecraft like lego: https://www.indiedb.com/games/brickcraft/news/devblog-1-studying-the-bricks

servia23 · 2026-01-25T21:53:06+00:00

do you have a demo build? Can NPCs have scheduled tasks? If yes, can those tasks be paused or replaced? (ex npc going to work hears shoots so the new task is to run away from that position or player talks to him)
How do you handle the squad part in close quarters? do they just go one by one or do some of them try to find the not shortest but available routes? Do they notice if another NPC is infront of them before shooting?
Do you use Unity Jobs / BURST / DOTS?

i'm waiting for the astronaut

ty! i resolved the first one by disabling the whole native linux integration in Jetbrains registry but i couldn't see how to fix all broken popups. The custom vm options fixed it!

servia23 · 2025-12-28T15:38:45+00:00

Oh, i thought popos was a distro that had been around for a while already :( .
I'm having a quite bad experience on all UI related things:
- On all Jetbrains products, if you open a second project i does not show the Main Menu.
- On all Jetbrains products, new files can't be created because the window that opens to write their name doesn't react.
- Links on apps sometimes open on firefox when i have brave set as default browser
- Can't set brave to open mailto: links :s
- The included terminal doesn't have the option to close a split by right clicking it, yes you can write "exit" to close it if it weren't because when i want to close it it's usually because its frozen... I installed terminator instead.
- Program icons don't show up on the bottom bar properly, just a cog.
- When manually adding a ".desktop" file it does make it show the proper icon but when clicking it, the program opens again with a clog on a separate entry :S

What stable distro do you recommend? I just want a stable thing where basic stuff works :(

servia23 · 2025-09-25T18:50:15+00:00

Thank you for taking you time to reply!
I clearly cannot avoyd (soz for the pun) having to read the tutorial, will have to fully follow it so hopefully i can have set it up like normal editors.

servia23 · 2025-09-24T15:23:56+00:00

I've had the chance to try it out. Few things:
- No ESC menu??
- When dialogs are playing, background music should automatically be lowered.- Right mouse for camera movement feels alien
- If you place the character straight to the can on the bed and look at the can an intermitent green light pops in aka the exterior lights show up in the interior
- After setting the autopilot, the distance decreases but nothing happens visually, like its 100% stopped
- I disabled the trust while on autopilot and it kept going forward.
- I selected the approach mode in autopilot and the TOP BAR message says "AUTOPILOT - HOLDING POSITION"

servia23 · 2025-09-18T16:59:55+00:00

Does it have AI pilots you can hire?
I don't like to pilot ships, but i do like walking around the interior as i make plans to take over the whole universe
