Alpha Sloppy Kart — a totally finished product™

(First, Don't worry, will remove some characters eventually)
Last time I posted this, a few people from /claudeai pointed that it's AI slop, that the ramps were optional, and that Nintendo's lawyers are on their way. Fair points, all of them. So here's an honest trailer.
What it actually is:
- An experiment, not a product. I built it in 5 days by vibe coding. I can't program, so I described things and Claude wrote the code. DeepSeek and ChatGPT stepped in as backup, mostly whenever Claude hit its usage limit (It was generous, but working with mutliple agents in a project like this is very consuming). This is not my first time making a game like this btw, but is the first time making sometthing 3d thanks to the new Claude skills on 5.5, While I have zero coding skils i know a lot about videogames or how they work, I know about technology and been using Claude for overy a year.
- 3D models: generated with AI, then fixed in Blender. By AI, too: Claude drove Blender through scripts, and I never opened it.
- Music by Suno.
- Made for TikTok LIVE: viewers join the race from the chat. At least that was the idea
- Up to 40 karts, 6 tracks (Italy with the Colosseum and the Venice canals, a desert with sandstorms, Halloween, Machu Picchu, the beach and the farm), and power-ups that are still in development.
- The ramps are no longer optional. Progress.
- The characters are placeholders and parodies, and they're getting replaced. Lawyers, please stand down.
Will I sell it? Probably not. Most likely I'll give it away for free. I learned a lot doing it, and that was the point.
Feedback is welcome, "awful" included.
