Simon Willison argues that October 2026 marks an inflection point for vibe-coded computer games, driven largely by Claude Opus 5.5's improvements in 3D modeling, music generation, and game design. After previously doubting AI models could create fun, well-designed games, he reports having vibe-coded four genuinely enjoyable games in recent weeks without looking at the code.
Background
Willison previously identified November 2025 as an inflection point for coding agents. The 'vibe coding' trend involves prompting AI to build software without directly examining or editing the generated code.
