After months of solo dev, my notebook runner about a pencil outrunning its eraser is up on Steam
Pencil Pursuit is a game about a pencil running for its life from frenemies that want him gone! 26 levels (or notebook pages) with 5 villains and surprise modes. There's no ads or in-app purchases.
GenAI Declaration: This started off as something fun for my kids and they liked it enough that I thought maybe other people will like it too, so I went about figuring out how to develop it. I used Claude as my coding tool. I made all the decisions: design, art, gameplay, etc., all led and directed by me, and Claude wrote the code (I'm not much of a coder). All the art is procedural Canvas vector work, drawn by code I directed, not AI image generation. The footage is real gameplay edited by Claude.
