“DLSS 5 ON” for my game… without DLSS 👀 I took a screenshot of my small city-builder PinguCity 3D and pushed it through AI like it’s running some insane next-gen DLSS 5. Result: Same layout, same buildings… but way more detail, lighting, textures, vibes. Kinda feels like: “what your game looks like in your head vs. what you actually shipped” 😄 If you wanna try this for your own game, here’s the prompt I used 👉 __________________________________________ Take this game screenshot and recreate it as if it was rendered with “DLSS 5 ON”. Important: - Keep the exact same layout, camera angle, UI positions and structure - Do NOT redesign the scene, only enhance it - Make everything significantly more realistic, detailed and high-end - Add ultra detailed textures, global illumination, cinematic lighting, soft shadows - Improve materials (glass, metal, reflections, roughness) - Add subtle particles, atmosphere, depth, ambient occlusion - Sharpen the image like next-gen rendering - Keep it recognizable as the same game, just massively upgraded Style: - AAA next-gen game graphics - slightly over-the-top, visually impressive - vibrant but realistic lighting ___________________________________________ Honestly this is super fun for: - showing your game potential - marketing / social content - visualizing “future versions” If you wanna try the actual game (without fake DLSS 😄): 👉 https://pingucity.nootcode.de/

I've never successfully created a game (yet!). I build other kinds of software products. But Skool has really made me think about how powerful gamification is. Have any of you incorporated gamification into other types of products?

Hey builders 👋 I wanted to try a different video format to present apps I build - something a bit more visual and “story-like” instead of just showing the final UI. This one is based on a small prototype called Pay2Lose: A satirical mobile game where the goal is basically the opposite of most games…👉 spend as little (fake) money as possible and still win. So instead of pushing players to buy more, the whole mechanic is about not paying 😄 Curious what you think: Does this kind of format make the idea more interesting to watch? Would love feedback 🙌 PS: You can test the game here: https://pay2lose.nootcode.de/ - it's in german but your browser will be able to translate it.

Let's all share our socials and grow together! I'm posting everyday content similar to this video. If you want your game included add a comment with a link to a short video (15 seconds will do, landscape if possible) and I'll make sure I share it in a similar format. Instagram Facebook YouTube X

Background: I've been making games and apps with Unity for 16+ years. I had someone ask a question about how to use Claude Code to make a game and after writing a short novel, I thought, "hey, this could be helpful to others" -- but I'll let y'all be the judge. (note: a lot of this would also apply to making an app or any piece of software with Claude Code) Someone asked me about making something based off an existing game, but also how would he attract programmers to help him / work for him. Below is my response: --- To start... you need Unity (and some basic familiarity with it) and the Unity MCP and Claude Code (the CLI) -- and claude opus. Opus is extremely good at letting you drop the whole vision at once (including screenshots) and tell it what you're wanting to do. In this case, make a game like XYZ. And it'll tell you where to start and how to progress from there. The one thing that AI cannot do is make a game that's fun. Not intentionally, anyway. It's pretty much always going to need tweaks. In your case, wanting to make a game with big monster trucks... The key to ANY game is usually going to be one core piece or mechanic. I would tackle that hardest piece first. You need to get those vehicles rolling and feeling good to play. AI can build something, and it can build something you can tweak, but it cannot "make a fun game" any more than AI can "make a song that moves me" -- it's too subjective to the person interacting. Talk to Claude Opus, tell it the grand plans, ask it where to start, ask it to build a tech spec for the v0.1 -- again, I'd absolutely start with the car. Tell it you're going to use claude code and the unity mcp. It can build a markdown file very specifically for claude code, along with instructions. Then go to a directory with that file in it (probably needs to be an existing but empty Unity project if you're going to use Unity), go into claude's CLI and reference that file with @ saying something like, "I want you to plan out and then build to the specification in the @car_game.md file" (and the @ will bring up a list of files, fyi)
