Slop
Machine

A live multiplayer party game in the lineage of Gartic Phone and Quiplash, except the creative act is prompting an image model.

Everyone in the room gets the same seed, types their own prompt, and the AI renders whatever they asked for. The images come back all at once and the table votes. The fun of the game is in the divergence and surprise: six people read "most cursed vehicle" six different ways, and the payoff is the moment someone says "wait, THAT is what you made for that?"

I built the whole thing myself, from the server-authoritative game engine to the AI pipeline to the brand, and it runs live at slopmachine.app.

Slop Machine started with a simple goal: build a playable version quickly and find out if the idea was actually fun.

The first version used a managed AI service because it let me focus on gameplay instead of infrastructure. Once people started playing, I ran into the next challenge: I needed more control over costs, usage limits, and the image generation process itself.

I rebuilt the AI pipeline to run through my own backend, giving me direct control over generation costs, rate limits, moderation, and player usage. That change turned the project from a prototype into a platform that could scale and be managed sustainably.
