Meet Lanista’s Legacy: A Turn-Based RPG Made Easy
Lanista’s Legacy is an RPG vibe-coded entirely on Rosebud AI.
It features a slick turn-based combat system, customizable weapons, and immersive gameplay—all thanks to Rosebud's powerful AI engine.
This was made by Kanos, and you can read his story here.
Step 1: Setting Up Your RPG Vibe
First, log into Rosebud AI.
The beauty of Rosebud is that it turns simple descriptions—what we like to call "vibe code"—into fully playable game mechanics.
You can start making a game like Lanista’s Legacy by simply describing its overall vibe:
"A turn-based RPG set in an ancient coliseum where gladiators battle mythical creatures."
Rosebud takes care of the rest, setting up the foundation for the adventure.
Step 2: Creating a Robust Combat Engine
Combat is at the heart of every RPG. With Rosebud, you just describe the mechanics, and the AI does the heavy lifting.
For a game in the style of Lanista’s Legacy, you can prompt:
"Turn-based battles with health, stamina, and magic points”
And then:
“Combatants alternate turns, choosing to attack, defend, or use special abilities."
Within moments, Rosebud generates the combat logic. No manual coding nightmares—just seamless gameplay.
Step 3: Designing Custom Weapons
An RPG isn't complete without epic gear. Using Rosebud, weapon creation was as easy as describing them:
"Weapons have unique stats: damage, durability, and elemental effects like fire, ice, or lightning. Players can craft and upgrade weapons between battles."
Rosebud can instantly implement this into the game, letting players fully customize their gladiators’ gear.
Step 4: Tweaking Your Game (No Coding Required!)
After vibe-coding the core mechanics, you might want to polish things up a bit.
Rosebud lets you easily adjust your game's details without touching complex code. If you can write a description like this, you can enhance your RPG:
"Add a dramatic slow-motion effect whenever a gladiator delivers the final blow, and display an epic victory message with golden text saying ‘Champion’s Triumph!’"
Bringing It All Together
With Lanista’s Legacy, Kanos has proven that creating detailed, fun, and immersive RPG games is accessible to anyone, even without coding experience.
Rosebud AI handles the complex stuff, letting you focus purely on creativity.
