MORE INFOOpen
  • I designed the game idea, rules, mechanics, and initial prompt; Codex wrote the implementation.
  • The first version worked but looked rough, then I kept playing and giving feedback on what to improve.
  • Most improvements came from prompts about feel and visuals: planet detail, ocean, mountains, cockpit view, and simpler weapons.
  • Roughly 5-6 hours of my testing and prompting, plus about 15-20 hours of Codex coding time.
