Show HN: LLM Prompt Engineering Game

https://terminalgames.xyz/
1•tobilobaolufemi•11h ago
I've been working with AI for a while and what really hooked me was prompt engineering - writing text that creates dynamic results. This simple concept felt like it could revolutionize creativity and how we interact with digital worlds, so I decided to build a game around it.

I created "Second Chance" - you play as someone who died and got brought back to find and eliminate your killer. Every input you type is a directive that the AI turns into narrative. No menus, no preset choices. You want to investigate the docks? Write it. Want to seduce the suspect's spouse for information? Write it. Want to burn down their business? Write it.

It's strategy, negotiation, and risk-taking rolled into one. The possibilities are infinite - you just have to write the right prompt. The AI becomes your collaborative storyteller, building consequences and plot threads based on how cleverly you can communicate your intentions.

This game mixes both human creativity and AI creativity together. We realized that AI was bad at creating new stories so we opted to design the stories, the characters background motives etc. We let AI do narrative design, Claude is pretty good at writing compelling narratives if the constraints are set right.

It seems like very few AI developers are taking this path. I would love more feedback
