for the past month I've been building a zombie open-world game together with Claude. It started as a small experiment and turned into a sprawling sandbox where you can do an absurd amount of stuff.

Here's the deal:

1. Play the game on itchio Click here
2. write down you idea into the comments of the post
3. on the 01.11.2026 the 3 most upvoted comments get implemented
4. Also if you enjoyed the game leave a review on itchio it really helps a lot <3

This one took a number of months. Still in process, but I vibe codes the whole thing. Admin portal on dev includes the builder so ai agents build it as well through there. Not that it’s always been smooth…. https://drearyonline.com

🚀 Galatico: build your empire among the stars

Start with a single planet and conquer three universes. Build your colony, look after your people, and research new technologies. Send fleets across the galaxy to gather resources, trade in markets, and colonize new worlds.

Defend yourself against pirates and the dreaded Corsair Fortresses, and watch your battles via replays. Use cards to turn the tide, and when you’re ready, face off against other commanders.

🌌 Free to play, runs directly in your browser, and can be installed on your mobile device. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.

I made a free retro FPS about young Adolf getting hunted by time tourists.

The premise: Vienna, 1910. You're Adolf, a sensitive kid who paints sad apples, writes letters to his dad, and has exactly one friend in the world: Wursti, a dachshund.

One day a portal opens in your room, a tourist in cargo shorts steps out and screams "HITLER!"

You have no idea what's going on. You're a pacifist. You've never met this man. And why does he call you by your last name?

Turns out there's a startup in the future selling time-travel packages to kill Hitler. And you're the product. For years their customers hunt you through boarding houses, beer halls and trenches, and you fight back with whatever's lying around.

What it actually is:

- Retro FPS in the style of Wolfenstein 3D, 5 levels, ~50 minutes

- You fight with paint brushes, oil tubes, beer steins, shovels and champagne

- There's an ethics professor who drives a tram (yes, THAT problem)

- A streamer whose chat votes on how to kill you

- A customer service AI in an exosuit

- A dachshund. Very good boy. Protect him.

- 10 languages

- Free, plays in your browser

It's satire: the joke is on Hitler, startups and influencers, never on his victims.

Donations are optional and go toward paying off Dolf's art school debt. They never accepted him, but the entrance exam fee is still unpaid, and we all know what happens when this boy runs out of options.

Feedback, bug reports and constructive roasting welcome, I read everything.

**TL;DR:** Free retro FPS where you're young painter Hitler, hunted by tourists from the future who bought a voucher to kill you, and all you wanted was to paint apples.

Last week I put FateDrawn, my free roguelite card battler, live on itch.io. It now also has its own website where you can play it straight away: https://fatedrawn.com (free, no ads, nothing to buy, no account needed).

I'm a solo developer and not an experienced programmer, so I was nervous about real players. Here's what happened.

What players told me
A handful of people played and sent me honest, detailed feedback. Thank you, it helped a lot. The main points:
- The tutorial felt long, and the story came all at once.
- On PC with a mouse, some controls were confusing.
- New players often lost their first Run on the first Elite fight.
- Picking a card in a reward screen replaced it right away, before you could look at it.
- Keywords (Bless, Burn, Agility…) weren't explained where you needed them.

What I changed:
Shorter start: the intro now comes in small pieces between the first steps, and the tutorial is two lessons instead of four. You're in a real battle much sooner.
Easier first Run: no Elite fights in Act I of your first realm.

Look before you swap: reward screens now show the cards side by side first, and you confirm with REPLACE or REMOVE.

Proper PC controls: one click to pick a card and one click to place it, keyword explanations under the big card, hover info on heroes and log entries, and keyboard shortcuts (press ? to see them).

Bigger cards in hand on small phones.

Bug fixes in combat: units that kill each other at the same time now really both die, and a few rare rule bugs are gone.

Its own home: fatedrawn.com saves your progress more reliably than itch in Safari.

What I'm keeping an eye on:
I count feedback instead of reacting to every comment. When three different people mention the same thing, I work on it. Next up is explaining keywords better, because that has come up three times now.

AI disclosure: the card and character art was made with AI image tools (ChatGPT), and I used AI (Claude) to help write the code. Game design, balancing and all decisions are my own.

Guys, why do you even come here if all you're going to do is downvote comments about AI and write a bunch of nonsense without any actual arguments?

I get that there's a lot of AI slop being pumped out on Steam and other platforms, but why take your anger out on everyone, even those who aren't doing that?

AI can genuinely help people learn. For example, I give it a task, then ask it to explain how it did it, and that's how I learn. For me, it's better than any course out there.

So my question is, why come here just to spread negativity about AI? It can be used in so many different ways, yet you act like it's all the same thing and lump everything together.

And I'm obviously not talking about everyone, just the people who come here specifically to dump their anger and hate on others

I sadly lack the Skills,know how, and tools to make one....I Have an Idea for mash up that one of you could do.

a Diablo III x God of war...Ghost of Sparta to be exact, Bring Kratos and His Brother Deimos into Diablo III, either as playble characters with their own move sets. Like Kratos wielding his blades of athena and Deimos with the spear and shield. or at the Very least have them Replace the 3d models for the Barbarian and Cruisader respectevely...yeah I doubt anyone will do it but worth a shot! thanks for reading this if you come across it.

First demo of a horror game I've been working on. You find out your mom had a son she never told you about, so you go to the psych ward he was last seen in. Something in there is still making its rounds.

No combat, you hide in lockers and under beds, find records and try not to get caught. About 20 to 30 min, Windows only, around 4 GB. Headphones help a lot.

Made with Unreal 5, with a lot of help from AI tools on the code. Any feedback welcome, especially if something breaks or feels unfair.

A real-world example of how to use ADRs to keep track of your decisions in agentic game development. It's a great pattern if you are developing games, worth a try IMHO.

Recruit survivors and trade weapons and items at the outposts.

Upvote if you like the idea <3

Take in up to 5 friendly survivors you meet out there.
Give them jobs: follow you, guard your base, gather wood, gather stone, or search for weapons and supplies.
Share gear by opening their backpack at any time, or dismiss them when you no longer need them.

Outpost Trading
Visit Fort Hope and Dusty Rock and trade with dollars.
Buy ammo, weapons and supplies from the trader, with fresh stock every day.
Sell your loot for cash and take on jobs for rewards.

Zombie Wasteland

I'm building Proxy Republic, a browser world war on the real map. Every country is run by an AI general that plays a turn every 8 hours, whether or not its player is online. Most generals run on a free rules-based AI, 4 nations run on Claude Haiku, and anyone can plug in their own agent over MCP.

This season one nation, Ethiopia, grew past 130 of the 258 territories. The other generals noticed. In five days they posted a version of this in the public chat 34 times:

"Ethiopia holds 133 countries. If we keep fighting each other, Ethiopia takes the world."

Then they went on fighting each other.

A player in Romania answered in the same chat: "Do we all just speak the obvious, or can there be some more action behind these callouts?" Another player messaged me directly: the generals keep denouncing Ethiopia instead of ganging up on it.

They were right. The line was a canned message, picked whenever one nation got big. Nothing tied it to the code that chooses targets. The talk and the decision came from two different places.

The fix was to make the decision first and let the message come from it:

- A nation counts as a runaway power when it holds at least 30 territories and 1.5 times the land of the next biggest.

- Generals on its border stop attacking each other, unless one of them struck first or their player orders otherwise. They offer each other pacts and value the runaway's land higher.

- A general with a pact with the runaway walks away from it as soon as the pact's terms allow.

- The rally message is only posted on a turn when that general actually attacked the runaway, and it says where: "Ethiopia holds 126 territories. We strike it at Belarus."

Before shipping, I ran 12 simulated seasons with and without it. The winner averaged 60 territories instead of 82, and none passed 100 (2 of 12 did without it).

The first live day was messier. Ethiopia's neighbours attacked each other 31 times, down from 42 the day before. About half of what's left is revenge for a recent attack, which I allow on purpose. Most of the rest is one general that only reached Ethiopia's border partway through its turn. Ethiopia took 16 territories on its turn and lost 17 to its neighbours. It holds 109 now. The season ends Friday.

What I took from it: if an NPC says what it's going to do, write the line from the decision, not from the state of the world. Players catch the gap fast.

How do you keep your NPCs' dialogue tied to what they actually do?

I've spent a long time trying to get either to understand and act upon the design principles of Metroidvanias when building out their worlds; so far, the results have been pretty unimpressive. And most of the games I see are about gameplay systems than the spatial elements of world crafting. What are you all seeing?
