My Fable today shipped a stable and app store compatible linux as an mac app.

Opus 4.8 started that project but even with rounds and rounds of feedback and gpt 5.5 quality assurance subagents it stayed buggy / unstable as hell.

the version now seems pretty stable. an ai within that app is humming along quite fine for hours without any crashes.

slide game yes, different goal and mechanics though, and as stated developed / directed via frontier models

https://squishy.franzai.com/ - fable 5

even with opus 4.8 it could not come up with the necessary algos to reliable create harder and harder levels - in the now famous big fable 5 gap of 2026 opus even screwed up the algo a few times and needed to recover it from git.

my take: better at findings bugs, worse in conversation and design.

and that finding bugs stuff was exactly the thing where it was neutered...

When I bought my XBox i spent half a day setting up an account and payments.

Good old times. The last time I tried to buy something on Xbox it fails miserable with multiple cryptic error messages - mostly around my credit card.

No problem though to biy the game on my mac via browser and then after a few more settings actually showed up on my xbox.

hypothesis: connecting an ai autoblogging script to Google Analytics / Google Search Console:

00 you seed some articles

10 wait for traffic

20 bot fetches GA / GSC

30 bot analysis what works what does not

40 instructed to create more of what works

50 more ai slop that works in search / social

60 Go To 10

aka a "positive" / unchallenged feedback loop

content cost dismissible - cents per article

I also hate ads in games, ... and as another serious restriction I only play on thumb slide games (think 2048) that just make me think enough (i want to relax) so I and Fable 5 developed https://squishy.franzai.com/ (Design is Opus 4.8, iOS Frame also Opus 4.8 - as Fable was gone by then).

Now waiting already for a week for Apple greenlighting my iOS update for the level builder...

looks good, but can you explain what it does without marketing copy. what does it run where? locally? your servers?

No, the reason is that it is a follow up on a (multiple) threads march last year and shows the progress of ai.
