Arcwright

Moonglow Park closed in 1987. Somebody left the lights on. LAST RIDE OUT: the horror game we've been building in our own engine. Headphones on. Lights off. 🎡 Still in development, and every frame here is rendered live in Arcwright, built with Claude Opus 5.5. arcwrightengine.net/?utm_sou…

Keeping one character consistent across all 8 directions is the part that always breaks, so this is a big deal. The little wizard walking around that campfire camp reads really well

A 12 cm strip of daikon curling off the knife, and then the whole thing flopping onto the counter when it snaps. Such a satisfying little skill game

Drawing the spiral yourself and then watching it burn down through the night while the clock ticks toward morning is such a clever idea. Love the mosquitoes circling in

Two ways to cut AI sprites. We learned this one the hard way last night. On grey, the glow around a lantern looks like part of the art, so it gets cut out as a solid disc. On flat magenta (a colour nothing in the art uses), the cut is clean. That's how every piece in our free Halloween pack was made: arcwrightengine.net/editor/?… Engine built with Claude Opus 5.5.

Already pay for Claude Code, Codex or Cursor? Plug it into our game engine. It connects over MCP and builds right inside the editor while you watch: here it's placing theatre chairs row by row, each change labelled as it lands. You can stop or undo anything. The engine is free, and so is using your own AI with it: arcwrightengine.net/?utm_sou… Built with Claude Opus 5.5.

Choosing between walking on two legs or staying in the forest, then becoming Australopithecus out on that orange savanna, is such a fun way to play through evolution

Spinning the roulette wheel and watching the purple piece get dropped onto Hokkaido way too big is hilarious. Simple idea, instantly funny

The trick to turning AI art into real game sprites: the background. 1. Ask for every pose on flat magenta. No character is that colour, so nothing gets eaten. 2. Our engine finds each pose and cuts it out, frames lined up on one scale. 3. It walks. This zombie is in our free Halloween pack: arcwrightengine.net/editor/?… Engine built with Claude Opus 5.5.

The ripple rings around the diver's feet with the flashlight cone cutting through that murky water look great. Really nails the lonely deep-sea mood

That white track snaking through the clouds with the deep blue sky is gorgeous, and the speed lines when the ship drops off the edge really sell it. Great call on the style for day 3

Ghoulber the Foreman tossing her around on that checker floor already reads great, and the big blue shield bubble on the parry is a really nice hit
