Here's an early example of an in-progress game with an Astro Avatar dropped in. When the player grabs the jewel, notice the way his arms reach out to hold it—this was *entirely* added as a procedurally-defined movement on top of the canned running animation.

As you can see, creating a blue-skinned samurai with a pastel helmet and ski goggles is simply not something I can prevent.
Check out Astrocade Avatar Studio! New features are in the works, so let me know what you think and what you'd like to see in the next update!

Can you actually generate a steady, meaningful income by typing text prompts from your phone?
Out today on vibecode.game, "From Wishes to Earnings" sits down with Erika Zucker, a creative who transformed sheer curiosity into a 30-million-play portfolio by leveraging AI-native game platforms.
📜 Here are the key article takeaways:
-Sideways industry entry: Without a traditional coding background, Erika leveraged basic animation knowledge and rigorous platform academy courses to master lazy-loading, optimization, and prompt-based design.
-Mobile-first workflows: Nearly all of her 600 published games were built entirely on a smartphone, utilizing built-in UI sliders and saved prompt libraries to bypass the need for expensive desktop workstations.
-Algorithmic retention metrics: Sustained discovery relies heavily on median play duration; titles that hold players past the initial 30-second window unlock massive viral growth through algorithmic curation.
-Real creator monetization: By retaining players and hitting significant play milestones, creators unlock dedicated economy bonuses, transforming weekend experiments into consistent revenue streams averaging up to $3,000 a month.

City Rider from creator Djam isn't just one of our fastest games to hit 1 million plays, but a great example of the power of remixing on Astrocade as well.
