What is the point of this?

Games, unlimited games.

as someone who makes (made?) games in the browser for a lot of their career this is both amazing and horrifying.

This is incredible.

It seems like the full screen button and mobile support is a bit lacking. Can you fix that?

that was fast :)

Haha, classic HN hug of death! The front-page traffic spike just blew past my Cloudflare Worker free-tier CPU/request limits.

I'm upgrading the Workers plan and moving the raw `.html` sandbox assets directly onto a cached R2 public edge route right now so the Worker doesn't have to proxy every 1.4MB payload. Should be back up smoothly in 2 minutes—thanks for flagging!

Not sure what the website hostes, but you could try github pages?

I made a game with Fable5.2 yesterday turned out pretty good - https://civilwarstrategy.com/

Just checked it out—super clean! Turn-based strategy is actually a great fit for single-file HTML builds (and unlike the 3D FPS demos, it works nicely without Pointer Lock).

Would love to archive and feature it on Fable52.games with full credit and a link back to your site/post. If you have the single-file `.html` build handy, feel free to drop it via https://fable52.games/submit (takes 10 seconds, no signup needed) and I'll approve it right away!

you think that's a good game? You must not have played a video game in at least 2 decades.

the racing game is fun, just i dont understand the chinese. But the concept about having games on html is pretty fun

Most of the prompts are just like "make me an underwater game", "Fable 5.2, you're 1 day old, please make me a game and surprise me"

So the OP isn't even real ? Or is he too lazy to actually answer himself people giving feedback about his thing ?

Someone going around and flagging all the OP's replies. If you have "showdead" on in your profile you can see their replies

In the Saltline game https://fable52.games/play/saltline-fable-5-2-fps when i play on mobile, dragging the joystick to move around does nothing.

The other touch controls work, like the aim, reload, fire and touch-dragging on the right side to look around.

Unpopular opinion, but I do not find low effort gameslop at all appealing. Why would I want to invest my time to play something that was thoughtlessly shat out by an LLM after a few lines of text.

Even if that were appealing, why wouldn't I just produce my own low effort gameslop, at least then I know it would actually correlate with my own tastes and preferences.

poszlem 7 minutes ago | parent

Only you can answer that. I can maybe help you understand why an average person would not produce their own low effort slop.

1. Because they still don't know how, even with claude. 2. Because they don't want to waste precious tokens if they can get the results for free.

Hope that helped.

This feels like it defeats the purpose of the site.

It's also very good in porting boardgames! https://harmonies.eamag.me/
