Solo dev builds a full Discord crime game entirely with ChatGPT, reviving a mIRC classic
Qomplete · reddit · 2026-10-10
- A developer built cartel.click, a fully playable Discord crime game inspired by Dope Wars and mIRC-era text games, using ChatGPT (mostly Astra) for all code.
- Features: city travel, gangs, heists, auctions, PvP, fishing, daily bonuses, and a full banking system, with player data in SQLite set up by ChatGPT.
- Workflow: dump full game files into Astra to convert it to slash commands and buttons, then iterate file-by-file with test-and-fix loops; original mIRC files served as the spec. Not 'one-prompt-done', but remarkably low-friction — even new feature ideas now come from ChatGPT.
