About Taipei GTA
A free browser game in the style of open-world crime games, set in Taipei with landmarks such as Ximending and Taipei Main Station. Press reports that the developer, known by the Threads handle aicodewithme, built it with AI at a cost of more than US$10,000 in tokens, and that it drew 1.2 million concurrent players within three days. No AI tool or model has been named: one outlet described "AICodeWith" as a model-access platform, but other coverage identifies it as the developer's handle. These figures come from second-hand reports without an official statement. Similarly named sites exist and are not merged into this record.
How it was built
UnverifiedThe developer says many AIs ("200 AIs", more than US$10,000 in tokens) helped from research through development, as reported by press, but has not named any tool or model. "AICodeWith" is the developer's handle, not a confirmed tool or platform.
Vibe-coded with several unnamed AI models; the developer reports spending more than US$10,000 in AI tokens.

Verification notes: All claims are second-hand: player count and token cost come from press citing unnamed reports, and the developer's original Threads post was not retrieved. Re-checked 2026-11-03: no source names an AI tool or model. "AICodeWith" appears as a platform only in New Mobile Life and matches the developer's handle @aicodewithme, so the record no longer credits it as a tool.

Reviews & rankings
PTT users found the Taipei streets very faithful and fun, but it is minigame-sized: stuttering, GTA III-level graphics, poor PC optimization and frequent crashes in car chases — fun, but not yet good.
