Startup founder attempts GTA 6-inspired vibe-coding with Claude AI

A startup founder is attempting to vibe-code his own GTA 6-inspired game using Claude Max 20x, sharing progress on GitHub in hopes of beating the real GTA 6 to launch. Early results show a roughly human figure and Miami-like visuals forming, but key GTA elements (vehicles, weapons, soundtrack) are missing. The effort serves as a showcase of AI-assisted game development and is unlikely to threaten Rockstar's franchise, though it highlights AI’s potential in indie game creation.
