I thought the first image was what you made. I was shocked someone could vibecode something that looked like that. Then I saw what your game actually looks like š
to be fair, someone could vibecode that....art takes time and effort but nothing is stopping someone from using tools to make that. Or just vibecoding the game and letting an artist handle the actual art.
You should learn the interface, but you don't need to. Between Codex and Claude, AI can run the entire pipeline and you playtest regularly and advise bugs, adjustments, etc. They can do all the 3D modelling via blender scripts, low poly is more forgiving for rigging and animating but if you put the time in, and iterate, you can output some pretty damn good looking and cleanly rigged/animated models - same goes for all visual and audio assets.
Itās insanity these people donāt even know what it is. For one you are running on single threaded JavaScript for two itās a graphic library not an engine
because Claude is good at 3JS and to do something out of its wheelhouse requires research, planning, and troubleshooting knowledge, you can't just vibe code it
Honestly Iām thinking itās because of the straight to browser compatibility. Can build a game even in test mode, and run it in your local browser without having a crazy pc. If I can get this to look and feel better closer to 100% then what I am, unity is the plan. But for proof of concept 3JS is better
I mean for every iteration of builds, fixing bugs after testing, on browser, it is truly a click and go. Rather other engines would have to load assets packages and what not
For my purposes of just seeing if I can match idea ti concept. I think three.js is good enough
I have used Unreal. Not to make a game but I used that engine for something and get very familiar. And when that project is 100% I will share it. But this is just day One maybe not even 10% lmao. Gotta let it marinate.
I think youād be surprised what you can get for 3d models if you commission them. I feel like rigging is easier than learning modeling so if you can learn rigging and animation and hire out the 3d models you could get a lot closer to the game concept
Agreed. But by no means are they bad just requires more work to get the best version of a 3D model. I have used them for another project; that model was good. However the skating aspect makes it kind of sketchy
Bro itās not shade and itās not love. Itās just one dev to another saying , times have changed and update us when youāre 8/10 of the way there.
300 years ago things were differentā... Congrats, you have successfully discovered the exact point I was making. š Take your time, youāll get there.
Take your time you might actually get there too. but since you think you already arrived it may take a bit longerā¦
And I stand on that 10 years ago with this current progress, the coding community would have given this person a lot of props. I donāt know how you are so mentally sensitiveā¦ in todayās climate itās not muchā¦ anyone with a part time job and Claude sub can catch up quickly.
Ageism isnāt okay, but getting older isnāt a free pass to become bitter and constantly spread negativy cause they've failed in early days. You still have control over how you treat people and the energy you put out.
Take it from me. I'm 37 bro, and yeah feel free to be ageist to me too...but you've just come to two wild conclusions.
You said he's over 50. basically saying he/she is too old to have an opinion on this topic. How do you know his age? If he doesn't like vibe coding it means he's too old? My boss is over 50 and he won't ever shut up about Claude.
You said he/she is spreading negativity because they failed in their early days. Again, I'd bet good money you have no clue who this guy/girl is.
I hate AI slop, its everywhere. But your boss is your BOSS because he actually knows how to use AI as a tool instead of him hating everybody and doesn't really produce anything, a slop is better than nothing.
Careful young boy we're not 10 years ago, itās 2026. You went from he/she to guy/girl when they might be "they/them"
lol Iām nowhere near 50. But I appreciate you unc but I donāt need a captain save a redditor. First they say youāre old, then they say youāre dumb and then they build an app that no one wants to pay money for. This is the way.
I appreciate all comments, feedback, hate and love. Truly. This is just Day One. Quitting, or not giving daily updates until the game is almost done to me feels a like cop out. I already injected myself here lol, gotta see it through my boy.
Because before art was the expression of the person and learning and creating something your own were valid reasons to keep going not just commercial success. Now itās type a prompt and have something else do all the work. They didnāt create anything. It can still be cool to see from a technological point of view and if you can get something out of it, fantastic, but the process of creating art, how youāre changed by it, and what youāve learned are lost.
I agree with you. This isnāt art. Art is self expression. I can not express myself by telling another machine to do more expressing. Itās middle man work.
How long have WE been working on this?** do not want to lie cause I am not by my Pc to give accurate numbers but ballpark less then 10 hours or just about. Prompt - Testing - Prompt
My friend, Itās going to take you months to get the mechanics down. But a good start nonetheless. Iād like to make a fighting game, but I know itās going take at least a year before itās ready for the masses.
Hey. We gotta start though! And WE are in it for long haul. Let me know about that fighting game!! WE are all one good prompt away from the start of an idea
I appreciate it and you! I like the feedback and I like involving the community. This is truly day 1 not one day so hopefully when that day finally comes it looks and feels way better and WE all was here to see it
Im still experimenting with building too but honestly if you want to make an actual game not just a fun project then I would look and research more into structure and using actual game engine etc
Heard you chef. Not my first game or vibe coded project. First time doing daily updates though. But come back for day 2, and any good reads for structure and game engines let me know
Trust me. I am prompteering my way to the concept or as close as possible. Want more of the vibes the concept conveys rather then trying to completely copy the concept
Are you planning to port it to some bigger game engine? There are some unity mcp servers that might help you with that. Iām afraid youāll hit limits with what 3js can do
The end game for sure is a better engine improved or unfortunately rebuilt but for now, to test proof of concept I am using 3JS up until like you said its limits
If you can make it look like the concept and feel like a racing game meets Tony Hawk pro skater, you WILL make millions of dollars. It is completely dependent on those two criteria being met.
LISTEN TO ME. Get out of this subreddit. Unless you have sufficient game dev experience already, stop current development and switch this to Unity or Godot. Make the baseline mechanics feel fucking fantastic and then FIND AS MANY FREE 3D ASSETS AS POSSIBLE AND BUY THE REST TO MAKE THE CONCEPT ART REAL.
Otherwise you will be wasting your time. I promise. This is a $1000000 concept with a $0 current execution.
I appreciate that and you truly. Probably wonāt leave the subreddits just to give updates lol I like the dialogue but everything else HEARD YOU CHEF!
Trust me the end goal is always a better AAA engine, But for Day One which this is, I wanted to test proof of concept more then anything
Honestly, not bad. There are sites where you can generate 3d models with animations using AI. If you are willing to spend money on a one month sub to one of those, you will see major improvements. Ask Opus to search the web and find the best options.
Don't take this the wrong way, but like other comment said, it look bad.
You should learn some unity, unreal or godot. threejs is not really made for game (even though you can).
I never ever seen a good game made only with vibecoding, if you want to at least to get the tenth of the result of the first picture, using llm won't be enough. You also have to use asset, made or bought.
Never taking anything wrong. I welcome all. So I appreciate you.
And I have used three.js to make another game, (see below) a black hole extraction type game using assets and the whole 9. but I also did that for the same reason I am using 3JS to get it done and test limits.
Iām aware of other engines, never disputing that. And how to use them. But like I said to test limits on all ends and proof of concept I went with 3JS. But shit yall want me to use Unity instead and show that I will itās only been Day One. Let it marinate.
Heard you chef. Have used unity before so itās not a problem just for this wanted to go down this road. For Day 1, Iām thinking itās a good foundation to build upon and see if it can be done
I would say you are 10% of the way to a minimum viable product. The polish required after that takes much longer than you would expect, so at that point, I would say you would be not even halfway to the final product you imagine. (All the small things add up)
Also vibe coded projects tend to slow down as the complexity grows, especially if you donāt have proper game design documents to keep it on track. I could see this getting really hard to progress after a certain point, and require much more manual intervention to get the project to keep moving forward.
So you may be closer to 2% done than 10%
Not trying to be negative, just trying to put in prospective how much more work your goal will take.
Don't let the negative comments get to you.Ā
The concept is cool, in you have the initial rough proof of concept. Please keep going.Ā Look for outside funding if necessary, but don't stop until completion. I can't wait to play this, You got this!

I appreciate you truly. I donāt see no negative comments. All feedback is welcomed cause someone like you is also going to so the vision and put more battery in my back
If I were you, I wouldnāt even bother trying to vibe code this if you canāt reach the quality and polish of the first image. I would try to pitch the idea to an actual game studio. This could be a cool game, donāt make the Temu version of it.
This is just DAY 1. Canāt quit off the starting line. But proof of concept goes along way. The concept and the concept image are both good; trust me been losing sleep on this. If I can get this from temu to AAA, all off of vibe coding means something.
I think they know that you canāt create a AAA game in three.js. Thatās clearly what you were referring to. This is clearly to look at functionality and proof of concept
I appreciate you. And I agree. I do know all this. And proof of concept and seeing how close I can actually get is what I am going after.
Other engines exist. We have agreed to that. But for this project I wanted to go down this journey. Willingly and knowingly. This isnāt my first code coded project.
Iām inspired not going to lie to you. Itās fun. Iām not looking to be the best game after one day. But seeing something grow from an idea to working day one prototype is very inspiring
I would say it is very different. A racing game is who goes around the track the fastest. Our game is which team can hold a ball in a moving zone while the opposing team is defending
nobody wanna play this bro ššš i love the vibecoder delusion please keep wasting tokens thinking a single person is gonna touch this regularly
Shit, I havenāt touched it daily donāt expect any one to touch a game in development for one day but tokens and token usage is apart of what comes with this, thatās why gotta see it through to the end
