Vibe code games.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We've built a tool that lets anyone create games using code-like logic without writing actual code. Our product focuses on making game creation accessible through a vibe-based interface, designed for people who want to build games but don't know how to program.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and would continue to base the company there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is and where gaming and AI tech talent is concentrated. We want to stay close to our engineers and early users.
