Product designer Danny Limanseta is building PhaserJS games using AI-assisted development. With no traditional coding background, he's prototyping across multiple genres.
From Design to Game Development
Danny co-founded platforms like Reroll, RedMart, and Give.asia. He's now exploring game development with PhaserJS, using AI tools to prototype quickly.
Game Prototypes
Diablo 2-Style Action RPG
- 8-directional wizard character
- Three skills with cooldowns: fireball, shield, frost nova
- Built with Grok 4 and Cursor
Slay the Spire-Inspired Card Game
- Mobile-focused with character selection
- Collaborative development with @maxhertan
- AI-assisted "vibe coding"
Lovecraftian Boat Survival
- Vampire Survivors meets Dredge gameplay
- Top-down ocean combat with harpoon weapon
- Artwork generated by Retro Diffusion
Development Approach
Danny uses Grok 4 and Sonnet 4 through Cursor for rapid prototyping. His workflow demonstrates how AI tools enable non-developers to create functional game prototypes.
Key Takeaway
AI-assisted development is lowering barriers to game creation. Designers can now prototype gameplay mechanics without traditional coding experience.
