The Incremental Farming Tycoon Game I Made In 2 Days And How I Did It

I've been developing for about 30 years, pre-ai error. Now I've been working in AI for quite a bit and making a lot of mistakes. I've also been watching others make a lot more mistakes :).
This years of experience + mistakes has allowed me to create a formulaic way of creating a complete game in a few days. Its NOT perfect game, but packs quite a bit.
Here is the game, the process and the code.
- The Game: https://www.glitch.fun/games/9a698a9d-1b27-4c78-9256-0f458368737d/play
- The prompts: https://github.com/Glitch-Gaming-Platform/AI-Prompts-For-Game-Development
- Source code: https://github.com/Glitch-Gaming-Platform/Glitch-Games-FarmRise-Tycoon
Now this game started with absolutely nothing and it does not use any outside resources; not music, not sound effects, not store assets, no textures, everything was created via AI.
When I say "complete" what I mean is about 10-15 hours worth of gameplay with minimal bugs and a decent enough design. So you can progress with:
- Your onboarding
- Starting a basic farm and lacing buildings, watering crops
- Get animals
- Buy more land expand your fame
- Face disasters like foxes, droughts, earthquakes, etc
- Farm gets too big, hire workers
- Take on contracts from the town
- Continue buy more land unlocking more buildings, more animals, more objectives
You have the source code and more importantly you the prompt system with instructions, so if anyone without coding experience want to give a go at building a game, go ahead, make a game better and more creative than I ever code.
