Developer shows off AI-built low-poly SimCity 2000 clone
Original: Show HN: A modern low-poly SimCity 2000 clone, built by Opus 5.5
A developer known as drdator has released a web demo of City2026, a low-poly remake inspired by SimCity 2000, saying the game was built largely with the Claude Opus 5.5 AI model. The project is being shared on Hacker News, where readers are weighing both the retro city-building gameplay and what it says about AI-assisted game development.
Why now: It combines nostalgia for SimCity 2000 with interest in how far AI coding tools can now take a full game build.
