Raise Seed through Series C for cash against views-delta mandates with deadlines; success advances the round ladder, failure burns 25% of cash and permanently dilutes income 15%. Four fictional rival archetypes fire on a seeded timer: Doomsworth congressional panics (ALGO HEAT spikes), Hypeman fake demos and Poogle algo tweaks (view debuffs), Freeman Weights clone drops (API price crash) — with a paid 60/40 CLAP BACK gamble. HUD: mandate progress banner, rival effect badges, total views stat. Fix: scene texture list now derives from the catalog (new sprites were rendering as purple placeholders).

GigaSlop: Compute Tycoon
Factorio meets Software Inc., wrapped in a satirical sim of the AI slop economy. Start with a budget PC in your bedroom generating $0.40/day of AI spam videos; end up draining the county grid to feed slop-generation clusters.
Stack: TypeScript + Vite + PixiJS v8. The simulation (src/sim/) is a
deterministic fixed-tick (10 Hz) module with zero renderer dependencies — the
Pixi layer (src/render/) and DOM HUD (src/ui/) just read state.
Run
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
Play (Tier 1 slice)
- You start with a PC, desk, and router. Press W, click the PC, then the router to wire them — slop production starts.
- Watch the breaker (1400 W bedroom circuit): trip it and your training checkpoint corrupts.
- Heat is spatial. Hot PCs throttle at 85°C; fans spread heat around, the window AC deletes it.
- Uplink caps monetizable tokens — saturated cables mean dropped slop.
- The TRAIN/INFER slider trades cash now (inference → videos → ad revenue) for model tiers later (higher revenue multipliers).
Art pipeline
All art is generated on the local MODELBEAST farm (tools/mb_gen.py):
FLUX for the room shell + hardware sprites (bg-removed, autocropped), and the
in-game slop thumbnails are genuine SD/FLUX slop — the game about AI slop is
made of actual AI slop. Titles baked to src/data/sloptitles.json.
