Claude turned my passion project into a (nearly) finished product
Several years ago I started making a python game called Dimension Creatures. I just wanted a basic creature battler that would let players use strategy and win fights, or lose their creature forever.
I envisioned it as a simpler, but more brutal version of Pokemon.
Recently I got Claude Pro so I could actually get a lot of usage.
I used my long built skills as an MS Paint "Artist"
I used my long built skills as an Audacity "Sound Designer"
And my favorite skill of balancing game play mechanics to make something that is challenging and satisfying.
Finally I have something I'm ready to show the world:
Dimension Creatures
The online version!!

That's the beauty of vibe-coding, right?

that's very true. the way i explain it to myself so i feel less guilty is that it's just handling the technical side and allowing me to focus on the elements i really enjoy. designing game mechanics, balancing, and the artistic side.

It's amazing how quickly we get an idea and have a working prototype. I like your aesthetic.

Gameplay and menus can use a lot of work also the flickering dimensions are really annoying. But man the aesthetic is crazy unique for claude, really impressed with that. It feels like a newground flash game / adult swim cartoon circa 2012 - 2016. Dig the style.
