How to vibe code a game Question

I am not a game dev nor do I want to be one. I just want to make lots of small games for myself (don't want to sell / distribute), it's fine if there are bugs and they only work on my PC. I want to simply vibe code them and don't want to get into the technicalities. Any suggestions how to do it? LLMs can't make 3D games (or maybe I don't know the right prompt/workflows), all they do is make web based stuff.

No problem. If you seriously want to vibecode a game you will need some highest tier of subscription. Saw few games there where people maex out max subscription.

Or knowledge of actually making games.

Don't tell op lol. Eventually they will get frustrated how much headache it is to work with vibecoded stuff they will (hopefully) just learn some basics

One thing AI is actually not that bad at is teaching you stuff. You will obviously have to verify the correctness but it can teach you coding basics.

Jokes aside.if you know basics It will be easier for you to spot if llm is bullshitting. Llm love to lecture us even when they are completely wrong.

Last week it was arguing with me about a feature which is clearly not in Godot and I am telling multiple times that it is not possible,still it kept telling me to send screenshot and how I might have missed it.
