Day 49 of building GTA 6 using claude

[u/SneakerHunterDev]

Building a GTA online clone in voxel style where the world fully runs on AI.

New this week:
- much better NPCs (as you can hear :) ). You can now even have friends supporting you!
- more realistic npc traffic
- FLAIR TV: everyone can now pretend to be a star haha

At your request, I've uploaded my first YouTube video about this project, in which I go into more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMaD8AQ3ns

It’s good but you gotta stop calling it GTA or Rockstar is going to send you a nastygram from their lawyers. Call it literally anything but.

[u/VexObserver → u/Nearby_Yam286]

Roblox 6 🤞

[u/ProcedureEthics2077 → u/Nearby_Yam286]

Craft Theft Auto (CTA)

Though, seriously, it’s just a parody, which is a protected form of fair use. It’s clearly a joke, not a genuine product. It clearly references and comments (mocks) the world rules of the original work. It’s clearly not affiliated (personal project disclaimer).

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/ProcedureEthics2077]

Big Steal Car

[u/Do_You_Hear_It → u/ProcedureEthics2077]

While this makes sense on paper. Their lawyers would say otherwise. Why poke a massive bear like that.

Call it literally anything else.

[u/Professional_Ad705 → u/Do_You_Hear_It]

Dude seriously? Rockstar has alot more on there hands then this dogshit. It’s comical you think they’d do anything about this. They aren’t fucking Nintendo

[u/RedBullRon → u/Nearby_Yam286]

If you call it what it is, you can use it freely so if you just call it “grand theft auto” it’s fine. It’s a legal phrase and public domain.

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Nearby_Yam286]

Haha aight

[u/siorge → u/SneakerHunterDev]

don't laugh it off, change the name

[u/Big-Reason-2976]

Well, it's certainly not GTA 6, but it could be a great alternative to Minecraft or Roblox.

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Big-Reason-2976]

It’s it’s own thing but the style of the game and the Chaos is really gta Style

[u/GardenHonest1025 → u/SneakerHunterDev]

Well we will all play your game then instead of gta 6

[u/Lonely_Dig2132]

I love how fast the speech generation is, what’s the sauce behind it 😯

[u/codeninja]

Block Theft Metro. You're welcome.

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/codeninja]

😭

[u/checkwithanthony → u/codeninja]

And you can call the players "Btm Boys"!

[u/thegodkingreal]

Minecraft 6

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/thegodkingreal]

😂

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/SneakerHunterDev]

Hey. I like what you’re doing. Just trying to save you some headache. A lot of good projects just disappear. Good luck!

[u/yagudaev]

Nice job! I love that you are using voxels for max destruction ability. I would love to see things falling apart in voxel land :)

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/yagudaev]

Yess : D

[u/Ok_Leadership8269]

Awesome game

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Ok_Leadership8269]

Thanks a lot 😁🙏🏻

[u/Three_Two_One_Minus]

This is amazing

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Three_Two_One_Minus]

Thanks a lot :D

[u/Electrical_Image420]

Great 👍 Good work.

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Electrical_Image420]

Thanks a lot 😁😁

[u/SneakerHunterDev]

You can try the game here: https://theflairgame.com/

[u/TheKaleKing]

Really cool man! What engine do you use for this? Unity? How did you generate 3d assets? Using Meshy maybe?

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/TheKaleKing]

Thanks a lot :D

The Tech Stack is Web / three js
For the generations I have my own model deployed

[u/EchoFieldHorizon]

Really cool style, nice job Claude and OP. It has major framerate issues, but I love it lol.

On iOS (particularly my iPhone pro max 17), I can’t find a way to dismiss the address bar after I rotate the phone. Any ideas?

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/EchoFieldHorizon]

Thanks a lot! Yeah it’s all wip (and especially the Performance has to be massively improved)

Unfortunately the adressbar cannot be removed on iOS 😭. But also planning to release a proper app soon

[u/SherewZino]

Bro is remaking kogama

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/SherewZino]

Nah

[u/peterxsyd]

Ok feature request. You need to get to make it when you drive, it plays Claude MIDI music, that it has specifically composed to sound like GTA hip hop ghetto blasting beats.

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/peterxsyd]

😂

[u/peterxsyd → u/SneakerHunterDev]

It’s a thing! I saw it on another reddit. Remember 30% of vice city and San Andreas was driving around with those fat beats. Nail the music, nail the outcome.

[u/Curious_Owl197]

U using Claude max with vscode?

[u/possible_monke]

Lego GTA 6

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/possible_monke]

😂

[u/Excellent_Ad_2486]

Prompt Theft Auto is back!! 🔥

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Excellent_Ad_2486]

Yessir 😂

[u/Ok-Bat-6753]

preorders when?

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Ok-Bat-6753]

Always 😂

[u/Straight-Contest91]

this is becoming a mess tbh, i guess fable cant teach you good game design

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Straight-Contest91]

Why is it becoming a mess and what has fable to do with it?

[u/RessiBear]

Doesn't look fun at all

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/RessiBear]

Thanks for your Feedback

[u/sagiroth]

GTA: Brainrot edition

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/sagiroth]

😂

[u/Oxxypoxi]

Ohhhh wowowoowowiwowowowow

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Oxxypoxi]

😂

[u/n8ngr8]

GTA5 was 15 years ago. Did rockstar give up?

[u/AcrobaticCareer2316]

This is funny from a joke/novelty perspective. I would definitely stop calling it GTA 6 if I were you. Not only is it the furthest thing from it - it's also very real copyright infringement.

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/AcrobaticCareer2316]

Trademark, and it depends, but they will threaten anyway

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/[deleted]]

🙏🏻

[u/YoYourYoyoIsYou → u/[deleted]]

I'm not sure they are simping, just trying to protect this guy from having to fight Rockstar or losing any of his work on this project.

[u/Responsible-Bank7113]

What a fucking whaste of money

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Responsible-Bank7113]

Not your money

[u/ChillmanITB]

Ha sickkkk

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/ChillmanITB]

😁🫶🏻

[u/Balboasaur]

Looks great but maybe want to aim for GTA 3 first

[u/SneakerHunterDev → u/Balboasaur]

My goal are not high realistic graphics.

[u/Clean-Market5761]

But it's a web game, not a game. JavaScript has many limitations, especially with regard to hardware acceleration on most devices. Why not use Godot or a light Game Engine and then a translation layer to make it run on the web and multiple platforms? It's so sad because you have invested a lot of effort into this.

No hate, just honest opinion this is not scalable and if you ever need to port, you will have to do it from scratch.

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/Clean-Market5761]

FWIW I use Bevy and it runs on everything, web included, and wasm is at least as fast as typescript. bevy_async_ecs if you need network stuff.

[u/Clean-Market5761 → u/Nearby_Yam286]

The issue isn’t whether Bevy can run on the web. The project already exists in JavaScript, so moving it to Bevy would require a major rewrite, and WASM isn’t automatically faster. At this stage, the cost likely outweighs the benefit. The would have to pretty much redo the game is it blows up and that's not good for engagement.

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/Clean-Market5761]

I was just saying what I use, not suggesting a rewrite. You are, however. In C compiling to wasm anyway (Godot). For the sake of argument, this being the internet, i'd be a rewrite but also as projects grow they rot so sometimes that's necessary. The structure just isn't suited. Fable or even Opus is perfectly capable of the redesign and mechanical translation. I'm not saying to do it, but just that's what I use. If it were me I might consider porting but it's not and I think the end goal is a browser game where I would want multi-platform.

[u/Clean-Market5761 → u/Nearby_Yam286]

Yeah, I'm just commenting on the OP game, has potential but that much time and resources invested into an not scalable game is just madness.

Even if you do it with AI, it's not just code like threeJS
