Hey guys! This weekend I wanted to experiment if I could create a webpage that looks like it's for an actual game, but it's all be faked with MidJourney & ChatGPT. I think the end result turned out quite well!

I had ChatGPT come up with the name, some unique selling points and have it fill in all text (with human editing, removing unnecessary text, to make it all fit well). All images are made with MidJourney. However, the logo is done manually in Photoshop, couldn't get any decent results from MidJourney.

This took around 5 hours to make, most time spent on laying out the website to look decent on desktop and mobile.

Hope you enjoy it!

Cool stuff. This will open up completely new ways for small / even one-man companies to build stuff with convincing graphics at least for MVPs. I imagine some lone coder with skills in gameplay mechanics, but none in graphics or a very small budget to spend on it, will get a lot of value from something like this.

Yeah this is awesome for indiedevs. Maybe a great tool to do these marketing pages, pre-product development, to see what has appeal.

What about GUI - was it also created by MidJourney?

What GUI are you referring to? Midjourney did all images on the page, ChatGPT did all the text (except stuff like the copyright label I addeed to make it look more 'real'). But I did the webpage, that's manual vue & tailwindcss work on my part.

So the GUI in the gameplay images is 100% Midjourney?

Yup! 100%

That’s neat. Did not expect it to draw GUI like that too.
