CLOUDFORGE - idle/mmo rpg
This is a self promotion post, but i wanna also raise a discussion about the topic.
This game is entirely vibecoded with ClaudeAI and images are generated with ChatGPT and Gemini.
I'm working on this project on a daily basis, it's been 50 days and i didn't skip a single day.
It's basically Ogame with events, guild activities, weekly guild war and rpg mechanics.
Mainly thought for mobile use then adjusted to desktop as well. Can be played on browser or downloaded as WebApp. (launched on july 3, 55 daily players and active discord server)
I've posted a video overview so you can explore it without having to register or do anything.
How "AI slop" is this?
Because i thought i had a great idea, and honestly the game feels nice and alive, and all the active players think the same.
But here on reddit i came across a lot of AI generated game, most of which were really low quality.
So im wondering if im actually doing something good or im wasting my time.
I have a lot of respect for the real developers, and i don't wanna take the same credits but i believe AI can be a great tool, but like every tool you need to have the knowledge and the ability to run it otherwise you're gonna chase the ai correcting and balancing whatever it codes without even understanding it.
The metaphor i use is that even if you're given a crane (ai tool), you won't be able to build a skyscraper without knowledge.
I'm not a professional dev, but i work in IT and marketing and have done -before AI- countless websites, basic apps, crm's and so on. So even though im not an expert on databases for example i understnd pretty much how they work and how a project should be structured, what are the components etc.

The baseline of ai coded apps posted on here is pretty low.
Honestly, do you think that vibecoding is a viable way of creating these kinds of apps if thought through? And is it viable if you have the knowledge and a clear idea of your final product?
