Dear Hacker News,

I'm kindly asking for your participation in the open beta for my AI-managed mini-games website. Thank you in advance!

For a limited time window, I'm setting the all-free feature flag to true. I hope you have a lot of fun exploring the AI's sense for games! Here and there, I tweaked it to help with visual consistency.

I would be deeply grateful if you opted into analytics.

$2,300 in API tokens...

Cheers!

londons_explore•40m ago
No, but you only need to mix a few lines of your own code in and there is copyright protection - and there is no need to tell anyone which lines you wrote.
vunderba•36m ago
Well it's not like it's really relevant in this situation. You could just point Fable at this website or any website with hundreds of mini games and ask it to clone them. Now "mix" in your own lines of code. Launder and repeat.
vunderba•34m ago
Given that the majority of the games seem to be LLM generated knockoffs of existing games, I'd wager any IP law would be paper thin here.

I love how Fable "decided" to get around this issue by just renaming things - it's not Tetris - it's Cobalt Vault!

Why no sir, these aren't Fruit Loops - they're Sugar Toroids!

ghthor•9m ago
Tetris specifically cannot be called Tetris or use the original shapes verbatim or it’s up for legal action.

I made a Tetris clone and then researched this. Soiadded a Q shape and AFAI can tell that makes mine a little safe

himata4113•38m ago
What blows my mind is how long fable can go without human input. I played a few and all these games would need at least 2-3 hours of back and forward with a raw version of opus. Of course we have harness tools that can achieve nearly identical results, but it appears that fable has created its own meta-harness inside itself to expand a prompt into a full plan before execution which makes me think a lot of these improvements come from baking claude code data directly into the model and simply adapting the entire manual process of the "back and forward".

I guess that would explain why fable feels like it is able to guess what the human input will be before it ends turn and continue working.

andai•7m ago
I heard Claude Code used a different system prompt for Fable, with different instructions.

It would be pretty funny if most of the gains turned out to be from prompting. Probably not. But a little harness goes a long way!

Just ouf of curiosity. Is there any business model behind it or it's just for fun? I mainly struggled with my AI projects to give them care after I finished them, so I'm interested in your direction.
zem•14m ago
I am guessing the people most disappointed with AI in the long run are the ones wanting some sort of arbitrage where they can generate products with low effort and then expect people to pay for access to them based on a paradigm where creating software at all required a lot of effort.

not intending to slam you personally, but the fact that you finished your projects and then lost interest in them is very indicative of projects done for the sake of generating something with AI just because you could.

I think the people who succeed will be the ones who are willing to develop a project with high effort, and then use the LLM to help with some of that effort. not just because in a world where everyone has access to the same AI code generators the effort is the value add, but because a good product genuinely does require a lot of human input and supervision being l beyond simply churning out code.

aspect0545•27m ago
Congrats, it’s a nice collection. I’m not a big fan of the visuals though, it looks too much like any cheap AI / blockchain project. That‘s just me though.
vunderba•26m ago
So here goes:

*Pros*

- Very well polished

- Thematically consistent

*Cons*

- Not a lot of uniqueness in these games; most of them seem to be clones.

To that end, I'm legitimately confused about what the OP is expecting to get out of this site. They can't seriously be expecting to generate any significant amount of revenue. They’d be lucky to make enough to pay for the domain. Vanity domains (like those ending in .world, etc) often give a hefty discount for the first year. But by the next year, you’re suddenly paying $20 or $30 a year for that domain.

The graveyard of Show HN, even from the last few years, is littered with the corpses of *.app, *.ai, and *.social sites.

I think they’d be lucky to even cover the cost of this top-level domain, especially considering how many all in one mini‑game arcade/portal browser sites already exist and that was before the rise of large language models.

andai•9m ago
>Not a lot of uniqueness in these games; most of them seem to be clones.

I just spent a few hours exploring one of the most popular web games portals. 4 out of the top 5 games are Minecraft clones. Also clones of Fortnite, Asteroids, Spider-Man, and most importantly, the classic Flash game, Fishy!

There are a few original games, but they appear to be in the minority, at least on the trending page.

Mark my word, resource restraint is a GOOD thing — as long as it is not resources that you rely on for living.
Planktonne•24m ago
Why?

You've made 80 quite janky, simple copies of existing games, and put them on a site with awkward tagging.

I get that the fact you could generate them all is exciting in itself, but better free versions of these already exist everywhere online; why would someone pay you for this, and why is it something you want to spend time on?

echelon•21m ago
The value of all software is going to trend to zero soon.

I don't know why anyone thinks they can sell software anymore.

You're going to sell outcomes.

jp0001•19m ago
Gotta have a moat.
bluefirebrand•18m ago
Who has been selling software for the last... 15, 20 years?

SAAS took over the software industry. Software as a Service. If you work in SAAS you sell a service not software

Which is actually why the software industry sucks now. I'd much rather build products to sell than "services"

CyberDildonics•11m ago
I don't know why anyone thinks they can sell software anymore.

Probably because lots of people are still selling software.

colesantiago•10m ago
This.

I predict in 10 years time the domain will be expired, nobody will play (let alone pay) the games on here.

With software alone there is no moat, and I am surprised that "smart" engineers didn't think of this far ahead.

This is basic economics.

OP, you might as well have donated $2,300 directly to Anthropic.

Seems more accurate to say “an LLM ripped off”

GaggiX•17m ago
I guess we can start a chain of comment listing their favorite ones, I haven't tried many but "wobble stack" is pretty cool and simple, "Starfall Defense" is a much more complex game but I love tower defense.

?

Why not make this all free?

The cost of software in the age of AI has gone to zero now that anyone can vibe code your entire site, Fable or no Fable.

Why would you spend $2,300 in API tokens for something that wouldn't get any return?

The economics make no sense here?

I'm curious why do you think people would pay for your software rather than them pointing Claude at your site and recreating everything for free on a $100 subscription?

overgard•4m ago
Who are these imaginary people going to websites and just being like "I'm not spending $10 on this!! I'll just clone it with $500 worth of tokens!"
binary0010•3m ago
I have some friends like this, always churning out low effort slop and trying to market it, for it to always fail and them getting depressed and trying again a month later.

I don't get it. It's like they're always excited that they found the magic infinite money glitch in the system.

willXare•12m ago
$2,300 in API tokens to recreate the feeling of opening a random Flash games site in 2006. Honestly, not the worst use of AI.
andai•11m ago
Cool! The idle game is fun.

I was just thinking yesterday I have no moat in browser games. (Well, aside from my incredibly good taste, of course :) [0]

Although, your moat being the fact that Fable is now banned, is pretty funny!

Soooo, you paid $2300 for 80 slop game-lets?

You know I can download the following

All NES games: https://archive.org/details/NESMegaPack201808

All SNES games: https://archive.org/details/snes-usa-romset-complete-collect...

All Genesis games: https://archive.org/download/sega-genesis-romset-ultra-usa

All Playstation games: https://archive.org/download/psx-roms-archive

All Gameboy Advance Games: https://archive.org/download/GameboyAdvanceRomCollectionByGh...

And those cost..... 0 tokens.

Add this to a mSD card and a Mayoo Mini+, and you have games for years. Years.

id00•4m ago
Game is just another creative media like books and movies. Does it mean that you believe that those will get expired too?
jp0001•19m ago
Agree. If this was this was just "look at what Fable could do quickly" that's fine. But saying it's free for now is funny. Anyone else could just make games they want to play locally for themselves and their friends now. And there are better ones online.
