What it does

"I built this game without writing a single line of code." I'm Jinsu, a non-dev. Using Vibe Coding (AI co-pilot), I built this SF Roguelite in 4 weeks. Chrono Rift features: Time = Life: Currency is your HP. Deep Randomness: Probability logic creates infinite replayability. Skill QTEs: Combat adds physical tension to strategy. AI handled the code; I handled the soul. Play Web Version: https://rift-server.vercel.app/ Experience the desperation of Time Collapse.

[시간붕괴] 이후, 전 세계는 단 하나의 '생명 시간'을 공유하는 운명 공동체가 되었습니다. 던전 심연에서 발견된 '시간의 균열' 은 저주인가, 아니면 유일한 구원인가. 생명의 시간을 얻기 위해, 당신은 이제 그 위험한 던전 속으로 탐험을 시작한다. 시간 붕괴의 날, 아내를 잃고 두 딸을 선택한 당신은 '시간 수색자(Time Seeker)' 가 되어야만 합니다. 죄책감과 상실감 속에서도 당신이 균열로 향하는 이유는 단 하나입니다. 심연에서 '시간의 파편' 을 회수하십시오. 그것만이 멈춰가는 세계의 시간을 연장하여 딸들을 지키고, 언젠가 시공간을 거슬러 아내에게 닿을 수 있는 유일한 희망입니다. 곳곳에서 출몰하는 '시간 변종' 들과 무너져가는 현실에서 살아 남으세요. 시간은 곧 생명입니다. 적의 공격은 당신의 시간을 앗아가고, 상점의 거래는 당신의 수명을 요구합니다. 던전에서 시간의 파편을 회수하면 생명의 시간이 충전 됩니다. 전투에서 얻은 SP로 강력한 스킬을 배우세요. 시간을 되돌리는 "크로노 블레이드", 방어를 강화하는 "루프 가디언", 운명을 바꾸는 "페이트 위버" 등 3가지 계열의 스킬을 조합하여 나만의 전투 스타일을 완성하세요. 20면 주사위를 굴려 공격과 회피를 결정합니다. 1이 나오면 무조건 빗나가고, 20이 나오면 치명타! 아무리 강해도 운이 나쁘면 약한 적에게 질 수 있고, 약해도 운이 좋으면 강력한 보스를 쓰러뜨릴…from rift-server.vercel.app

    I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam2025 · ▲1,581

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

    A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released2022 · ▲1,157

    I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…

    I AI-coded a tower defense game and documented the whole process2025 · github.com · ▲319

    I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience but during this time I never programmed any games, but I really wanted to for the longest time. With the advent of AI coding agents I thought that this is the best time to try and so I've learned a bit of Phaser.js (a Javascript based game engine) and entered Beginner's Jam Summer 2025 - a game jam for beginners in the game dev industry that allows AI coding. After around 25-30 hours (working mainly after my full-time day job) I managed to submit the game I called "Tower of Time" (the theme of the jam was "Time Travel"). You can play it…

    I posted once before but wanted to share again because a lot has changed. There's now a fairly strong bot to play against (contributed by a community member) and also correspondence games. The combination of these things helps a bit in finding people to play against.

    A Demo for a Strategy Game2024 · store.steampowered.com · ▲109

    This is something that I've been working on on-and-off in my spare time for the last few years. I started in 2020 during Covid trying to do a Mount and Blade style map in UE4, and it grew from there until where it is now - I would just add a feature, then another, until it came together. Since the start of the year I've really been trying to polish it some more. I've got the full thing planned for a Q3 25 release.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
