💖 Thanks to the judges for judging all the games, thanks to the sponsors, thanks to EVERYONE for making all these amazing games!
In the next few days all the games will go live on the site and get connected in the giant Vibeverse with portals!
It was a blast organizing this and after the plane game went viral I think it was a great way to get more distribution for everyone else and get their games played too
Vibe coding still has its limitations but it seems clear that we're all on to something, as the vast majority of people participating never made a game before! That's refreshing and allows new people to enter industries they've never been in before. AI is opening up a lot of creativity and I think that's super exciting! 😊
P.S. I'm on 𝕏 too if you'd like to follow more of my stories. And I wrote a book called MAKE about building startups without funding. See a list of my stories or contact me.
