Dev Vibe-Cloned His 2-Year Game in Claude: 'Pathetic' Result, AI Can't Replicate Game Feel
IanArawjo · x · 2026-10-07
A game developer vibe-cloned his own 2+ year project in Claude, feeding it assets and gameplay videos — the result was "pathetic": it looks like his game but doesn't feel right.
- AI is slow to fix art style, bugs and game feel, and you give up a lot of control;
- The workflow becomes writing a paragraph and waiting 5-15 minutes, with tokens burning fast;
- Conclusion: he's no longer afraid of AI copies, arguing these "slop machines" can't produce anything worth playing or paying for.
Reposter @valigo uses it to encourage game devs demoralized by flashy three.js demos: keep grinding, good games get rewarded.
