Build With Raymond

kicking off #buildinpublic on this account. plan: ship stuff, post about it, repeat. wins, bugs, ugly first drafts, all of it. starting with my portfolio — blank repo to live site in a day: buildwithraymond.dev follow along if you're into that.

thought in my brain since 6th grade and technology has gotten to the point that I feel confident I can build it 🏎️ ultimately I love creating and this is definitely a passion project.

I grew up playing games like @DarkAgesMMORPG @Habbo and any other isometric or 2d online lobby I could get my hands on. I also loved #motorcityonline where you could see everyone’s cars parked that was in the lobby waiting for races and see their paint jobs. this game has been a

some might wonder what the vision for pixel car life is, I want to create a world where you hangout with friends, share car collections, race, but also so much more. think racing game sim + life sim. I want a pixel art WORLD. not just highway battles.

With the model and data development down, Phase 2 of my game project is complete. On to Phase 3, actually working on the core game engine.

@runishopess really cool progress and I look forward to seeing it grow!

YES MY MMORPG GAME DEVELOPMENT! I'm still editing the world and modeling my character! What you think? #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #GodotEngine

@thsottiaux @ziwenxu_

@ziwenxu_ Didn’t know Codex was her

Sorry Claude, but I found someone new and her name is Codex. She's fully autonomous, smarter, and doesn't give me attitude

@phaser_ x.com/RayHernbrode/s…

@RayHernbrode It already looks amazing, excited to see how it turns out! 😀

#buildinpublic Showing what happens when you enter the highway from the main city, this is like a highway battle mode. Or will be when I get done with it 🫡 @phaser_ #phaser #cargames #racing

@simpsoka I use caveman skill, so opinion no matter.

Codex users: I'm curious how you feel about its personality/communication style. When do you want it more concise vs more explanatory? More direct vs more collaborative? Examples where it talked to you especially well, or badly, would be gold. DMs open!

@LukeBautista25 what's your favorite mode?

Another Gameplay From Pixel Car Racer #Pixelcarracer

pretty wild progress on the pixel car mmo "pixel car life" today. gpt 5.5 is really cooking and allowing me to build my dream game #buildinpublic I think this will help me get to a position where I can find real artists to join the project. #pixelcars #pixelcarracer #pixelart

@phaser_ @OpenAI @AnthropicAI @GeminiApp you guys are really staying ahead of the curve, I love it!

Phaser Editor's built-in #AI Chat can be powered by #OpenRouter 🤖 One API key gives you access to AI models from @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @GeminiApp and more — right inside the editor. And it comes with a free model out of the box ✨ Already using the MCP server? This is the other way to connect AI in Phaser Editor ⚡ Check it out 👇 f.mtr.cool/tolumgcqkn #PhaserEditor #GameDev #HTML5Games

#buildinpublic #phaser Image gen skill is pretty wild. Still not real pixel art, but as close as I can get without paying someone for now... also the sprites are huge and most artists say no lol. Getting there! #pixelcars #pixelcarlife

@RayHernbrode @Bucky_cm Bucky is awesome, worth a follow at least.

@OhArA_OnO @thsottiaux @sandislonjsak I think about this regularly. @thsottiaux we need you for 12 more hours please.

@thsottiaux @sandislonjsak A Codex mobile app would be great for keeping track of one's work while on the go and guiding it in the right direction.

I worked 12 hours today and have no energy to try out GPT-5.5. Can anyone tell me is it worth it or not? Thanks!

@thsottiaux @sandislonjsak you are appreciated

@sandislonjsak I also worked 12 hours to bring it to you. It won't prompt itself (yet), go try it!

@sandislonjsak its worth it bro.

@Bucky_cm @umedyn just based on your replies in this post i fw you heavy

@nicoletteduclar @moggmon Nevermind, I have used imagegen tool since this reply. It does it all for you.

@nicoletteduclar @moggmon I want to know what you used to cut the sprites out and how you generated them. Did you generate them on black and white canvas and remove with difference finding? Generate on colored palette and try to remove? I am struggling with pixel art assets.

you aren't ready for what CODEX 5.5 + GPT 2 just unlocked you can vibe code a complete pokemon game, with all CC0 assets (mine is @moggmon) > Codex 5.5 coded all UI + battle logic > GPT 2 generated all sprites, animation, SFX ask me anything about the process #vibejam

@markwitt_me @Dimillian @gabrielchua good question, my image gen used pink. I think it's just because these neon green and pink colors aren't widely used in palettes and are easier to strip. i've been working on a tool to try to make realistic pixel art, but it struggles with artifacts and stuff.

@Dimillian @gabrielchua why specifically green?

Thanks to @gabrielchua, the latest version of the image gen skill will know how to generate spritesheet with green backgrounds so Codex can then have sprites with transparent background and integrate them into your games!
