Codex, powered by ChatGPT, was used as a coding assistant during development. I’m a software engineer with 25 years of programming experience. I used Codex to help with technical implementation while I focused on the game’s design, systems, balance, and overall feel. It made it possible to build Mindscape in my spare time and release it for free.

the upgrades need to just clearly state what the upgrade does. (makes you pick up orbs faster, makes you regen faster, etc.)
developers (especially vibe coders) often fall into the trap of getting too familiar with or good at their game's systems that they lose touch with the experience players will have.
i like the visuals. i knew the instant the very first frame loaded that it was vibecoded of course. the fonts, the UI, the layout. all of it. but they were still nice and calming. it just needs some work.
