I've continued moving connected my crippled project, Vestiges, which is simply a 2D communicative strategy rogue-like successful Godot. In brief: I erstwhile had a profession successful crippled development, successful crippled creation aliases task guidance roles. Life circumstances derailed my profession immoderate years ago, but earlier this twelvemonth a workfellow encouraged maine to research pinch genAI. I began Vestiges to spot if I could create thing again, to bask the imaginative process. It progressed good capable that I'm readying to complete and merchandise it.
For various reasons unrelated to the project, advancement since past period has been slow (and I expect the adjacent period will beryllium arsenic well). Most of the activity I've done has been for peripheral features, not thing connected the captious path. After my relative bounced disconnected of the communicative elements (not unexpected :) ), I added an "aliterate" lens that distills the crippled into its strategy gameplay, burying the communicative contented for those who aren't willing successful it.
In mentation for releasing a demo version, I added opt-in postulation of a session's gameplay data, which I intend to analyse to find ways to amended the UI, UX, gameplay, balance. By default, nary identifying accusation whatsoever is collected. A abstracted opt-in adds minimal method accusation (things for illustration OS, CPU, GPU, show settings).
I added world matter size action arsenic an accessibility characteristic and utilized an MCP server to person Claude do the first layout testing. This was an absorbing experiment, but requires capable tokens that it's not very applicable arsenic a predominant portion of development. These features went hand-in-hand -- via the MCP server, Claude takes a screenshot each 5 seconds to determine what to hover complete aliases click connected next. These screenshots devour tokens rapidly, truthful they are reduced successful size. With a larger font size, the screenshots tin beryllium reduced further pinch the matter remaining legible to Claude.
Other housekeeping: galore iterative improvements to my wide improvement process and usage of Claude. I wrote my first elemental skill: utilized successful conjunction pinch the brainstorming accomplishment from the superpowers plugin, Claude creates an "origin" archive that preserves my first punctual and immoderate aspects of the brainstorming discussion.
I expect to motorboat a demo type erstwhile my existent life business settles a bit. I'm still not successful immoderate peculiar hurry, but it would beryllium bully to commencement getting subordinate feedback. Also, to the immoderate grade I do want Vestiges to person immoderate commercialized success, the largest obstacle I'll look is discoverability and marketing.
A meta-comment: When I first mentioned this project, successful the July "What are you moving on?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48886151), I explained immoderate backmost communicative of this project. It sewage a adjacent magnitude of attention, rising to the apical of the station and encouraging immoderate discussion. Last period (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49234405), I didn't repetition my communicative and received nary upvotes aliases comments. This presents maine pinch a quandary because it feels uncomfortable/self-indulgent to repetition my communicative each time, yet without that context, my task isn't peculiarly notable aliases interesting. (Or possibly luck/timing was a factor?)
