super creative!

[Melissa Valesca @MelValesca]

Made this fish game intro this week for fun.

1 3D asset, 2 videos.

Qwen AI to generate the first frame of each video.

Grok Imagine to bring both videos to life and create the logo.

I used Blender to create and rig the 3D fish based on the video's design. (And to make this post's video)

Three.js (via expo-three) to render the fish, bubbles and shadow in real-time.

react-native-ease by @appandflow for the floating particles with transform, translate, scale, perspective, fade.

Expo for the full React Native build, video playback (expo-video), asset loading, and dev builds.

expo-sensors (DeviceMotion) for the gyroscope-driven parallax on the water background.

Any ideas what type of game it could be ?

[Jon Major Condon @jonmajorc]

@MelValesca super cool! It should be a game where you avoid getting scooped up 😂🔥

My 'grill-me' skill went viral. mattpocock/skills is up to 9K stars. Quote tweets of it are doing numbers.

It's the most useful skill I've written, and I use it even outside of coding:
