Tiny Rails Rollercoaster
Author: OpenAI
A nostalgic miniature coaster with eight routes and hands-on driving modes.
Description
Tiny Rails Rollercoaster is a playful 3D coaster simulator built by VB with Codex and GPT-5.6. Players drive a tiny train through a detailed storybook landscape, choosing between assisted, coached, limit-pushing, and Unhinged modes across eight routeĀ combinations.
Build notes
Initial prompt
Use set_goal and multiple agents to build and deploy a cute roller-coaster game on Sites. Use ImageGen for assets and create a heartwarming, nostalgic environment that feels miniature but highly detailed. Keep iterating until it is polished, deployed, and playable.
Iterations
-
Established the nostalgic miniature visual direction with ImageGen.
-
Built the core experience in Three.js: a looping track, train, cameras, controls, and animation.
-
Refined track geometry, banking, acceleration, braking, leaning, guardrails, and recovery behavior.
-
Polished terrain, foliage, props, lighting, fog, textures, animation, and performance.
-
Shifted the experience into a simulator game with assisted, coached, limit-pushing, and Unhinged modes.
-
Simplified the HUD and onboarding while improving warnings and physical feedback.
-
Added three separate two-way junctions, creating eight possible route combinations.
-
Ran full-loop, responsive, persistence, physics, and visual QA before deploying each major refinement.
-
Repeated the same improvement loop throughout: inspect the live build, research the issue, set a concrete refinement goal, use subagents for critique, implement, test, deploy, and repeat.
- Final step
Completed full-loop, responsive, persistence, physics, and visual QA, then deployed the refined miniature coaster experience.
