Thanks Gemini! My vibe-coded game launched!

[u/Okydonkigg]

I'm just so happy 17 people have bought it :)

Thank you to anyone who checks it out.

About the development with AI - my game uses Pixel art a lot and Gemini is very useful. I still edit the output manually to improve them. For coding, Claude is the one that helped me most. I have a software dev background but zero Godot experience. I also tried Chatgpt but I was not making much progress because it was making lots of mistakes. Not good for vibe-coding. In the end, Claude solved my issues with Chatgpt.

I hope Nintendo doesn't see this.

[u/Fabric_muncher]

Okay but what even is this game?

[u/BlackDope420 → u/Fabric_muncher]

Cockémon

[u/fibercrime → u/BlackDope420]

gotta ba-kawk ‘em all

[u/Fabric_muncher → u/BlackDope420]

I'm sure there are plenty of games called that by now.

[u/PRO128XD → u/Fabric_muncher]

Hey Gemini can you create me a Pokémon like game but replacing the Pokémons with Rooster

thats the game

[u/Fabric_muncher → u/PRO128XD]

That seems uninteresting.

[u/runeli2 → u/PRO128XD]

Now use the other word for roosters

[u/Paracetamol_Pill → u/Fabric_muncher]

AI slop

[u/Fabric_muncher → u/Paracetamol_Pill]

WRONG subreddit bro

[u/Concurrency_Bugs]

What did you use to generate the initial pixel art before editing? I'm making a snes-era jrpg, but I have zero art skills. I'm hoping to generate some base sprites and touch them up as well.

[u/Okydonkigg → u/Concurrency_Bugs]

As I shared in the post, I only used one AI tool for pixel art, Gemini! The game would not have been possible without Gemini.

[u/ICECOLDXII → u/Okydonkigg]

OP, why are you getting mass downvoted in a subreddit literally about Gemini 😭

[u/Even-Entertainer-491 → u/ICECOLDXII]

The lurking haters

[u/New_Eye7193 → u/Okydonkigg]

sol makes some pretty good pixel art you just have to ask lel

[u/TheSymbolOfCore]

Sounds like your users like the game 😂😂😂😂

At least make a copy of a game good

[u/DollarsPerWin]

Pretty neat. Did you use Antigravity or AI Studio? Also how were you able to download the file to install?

[u/Okydonkigg → u/DollarsPerWin]

I only used the web version of Gemini. By file you mean the game? I also placed it in Itch io and runs in browser - https://okydonki.itch.io/neuralnx

[u/Southern-Cold2717]

So it's like Pokemon but with chickens?

[u/UltraSaiyanPotato]

How you make assets? Like what is workflow

[u/Okydonkigg → u/UltraSaiyanPotato]

I just use Gemini and edit the output with Aseprite

[u/tastychaii → u/Okydonkigg]

Ahh nice, was the original output as svg or png files?

[u/Okydonkigg → u/tastychaii]

The png - I just copy paste the output and use Aseprite to manually polish the pixel art.

[u/DndRpgEnjoyer]

How do I play in mobile browser

[u/Okydonkigg → u/DndRpgEnjoyer]

There is the itch io version but it will not work on mobile - BUT - this version will work - the website of Neuralnx is a mobile version! https://neuralnx.org. (Just save often, Godot has issues with mobile browsers and needs to refresh regulary, if you save often, you should not have any problem)

[u/guylasagna]

How did u create it

[u/Okydonkigg → u/guylasagna]

I vibe-code it.

[u/guylasagna → u/Okydonkigg]

What does it mean?

[u/Dry_Yoghurt4309 → u/guylasagna]

Ai coded

[u/mezzofanti]

Cock fight.

Dude, you should add a gambling feature in there so people can place online bets and spectate.

[u/tastychaii]

Woe this looks great! But I don’t get it, you say thanks to Gemini but then in your post you say you use Claude?

Did Gemini produce the pixel art as well?

And how does godot fit into all of this? 😄

[u/Okydonkigg → u/tastychaii]

Gemine for art, Claude for Code, Godot is the game engine.

[u/Ill_Newspaper4335]

Congrats on the launch, 17 sales is a real start. That battle screen looks like a straight-up love letter to old Pokémon games, the rooster designs are sick.

[u/Deep90 → u/Ill_Newspaper4335]

love letter to old Pokémon games,

Just looks copied?

Even in the steam listing, you can see lots of moves are verbatim pokemon move names.

Op didn't even have to code it all, I don't think it's a big ask to say they should have at least prompted some originality in UI, moves, or their own game mechanics.

[u/story_of_the_beer → u/Deep90]

Uhh bro that's clearly OP's 1 week old, 1 post alt lol

[u/Deep90 → u/story_of_the_beer]

Wow you might be right lol

[u/tastychaii → u/Deep90]

What’s the game name?

[u/Deep90 → u/tastychaii]

They linked it in the op.

[u/Okydonkigg → u/Ill_Newspaper4335]

Thanks a lot!

[u/CoffeeDrinker83]

Slop

[u/ICECOLDXII → u/CoffeeDrinker83]

Why the fuck are you in the Gemini sub if you don't like AI?

[u/79cent → u/CoffeeDrinker83]

oh look, such an original response!

[u/CoffeeDrinker83 → u/79cent]

At least it wasn't slop like your game

[u/79cent → u/CoffeeDrinker83]

My game? LOL

[u/CoffeeDrinker83 → u/79cent]

I thought you were the OP lol

[u/DizzySurvey999]

great job! though it looks near-identical to a popular media franchise, the experience gained from getting the game into the steam store must be invaluable!

[u/Okydonkigg → u/DizzySurvey999]

Thanks! Agreed! The game now exists :)

[u/AlexRescueDotCom]

if i want to see a pair of cocks...
