A concept artist with no game development or coding background built a fully playable 2D stealth game from scratch, relying entirely on AI-driven "vibe coding" tools to turn hand-drawn sketches into a working browser prototype. The project, titled *You Forgot Something*, was assembled by Aaron Randall using Higgsfield AI's Supercomputer platform with a native integration of Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, and is playable in a web browser.

A Concept Artist Built a Playable Stealth Game — With Zero Coding Skills

Starting from hand-drawn sketches, one creator used AI "vibe coding" tools to generate sprites, engine logic and stealth mechanics — turning storyboards into a working browser game, You Forgot Something, without writing a line of code.

What works

Playable result with no engineering experience
Handles code, sprites and game logic together
Consistent hand-drawn style carried end-to-end

The limits

Clear ceilings on more complex titles
Polish and scaling remain difficult
Real dev experience still often required

The open question: can these tools graduate from single-level demos to shippable, larger-scale games?

A growing volume of comparable demonstrations suggests AI-assisted game creation is moving quickly from novelty toward a viable path for solo creators and non-developers.
