Show HN: Spielerando: A game creation workbench for coding assistants

Spielerando launched as a game-creation workbench that connects to coding assistants including Claude Code and Cursor, letting an AI look up tested game recipes, check story and rules before building, and save projects version by version. The free service, which requires sign-in via Google or e-mail and a one-line paste to connect an assistant, organizes its material into six topics: vibe coding, story, game logic and odds, game data, animation math, and troubleshooting. Spielerando's guides cover branching stories, quests, character consistency, player choices and save games, each relying on a checker that walks every path to name the exact scenes that break a rule.

Your AI builds the game, we give it the workbench. The companion for Claude Code, Cursor and every other coding assistant. Your AI looks up tested game recipes, checks your story and rules before it builds, and saves your project, version by version.

Story help How to Build a Branching Story That Does Not Break Model every scene with what it needs and changes, then have a checker walk every path. It finds dead ends and gives you the exact path to each one. How to Build Quests That Do Not Get Stuck A quest gets stuck when a step needs something that is gone. Model who holds what, and a checker shows the exact path to each stuck quest. How to Keep Your Game Characters Consistent Put each character's fixed facts in a model and have a checker walk every path. It shows the exact scenes where someone acts against their sheet. How to Make a Game Story Without Errors or Plot Holes Have your AI model your story and run a checker over every path. It names the exact scenes that break a rule, so you fix real errors, not guesses. How to Make Player Choices That Really Matter A choice matters when the game remembers it and shows the result later. Model every choice and have a checker find the paths where nothing changes. How to Make Save Games That Keep the Story A save must store what happened in the story, not only where the player stands. Model saving and loading as steps, and a checker finds what gets lost. Game ideas Combat Combo System Combos reward timing: the same button does more for a player who presses it at the right moment. Movement Coyote Time Players judge a ledge by eye and often press jump a moment too late. Without coyote time they fall and feel the game ignored them. With it, they get the jump they meant. Inventory Crafting System Crafting gives the things players gather a use, and lets them decide what to make from what they have. Story Dialogue System Dialogue lets the player talk to the world, and what they say and do changes what comes next. Movement Double Jump A second jump gives the player control in the air: a way to fix a misjudged jump, reach further or recover from a fall. Inventory Inventory System A place for what the player carries, with limits that force choices and rules that never lose or copy an item.
