Based on the positive comment I got on my last post I decided to turn my browser-based prototype into an actual game:

Drive tiny cars on small tracks, with your actual RC remote control. Free demo out now, more tracks and new modes (off-road and drift) are planned.

Coding 100% with Claude, artwork with help of ChatGPT. They also built the website, helped my with itch.io and with becoming a certified Apple developer.

Hey guys.. I'm working on a dream game of mine. This is still the very, very early stages, but I wanted to show you where I'm trying to get graphically. I'm a huge fan of Octopath Traveler, so there are obvious takeaways from it in the HD-2D look.. pixel art sprites in a 3D world, with the tilt-shift blur, bloom and lighting etc.

I made it entirely with Claude (Opus 5.5). Even the pixel art and 3D models are made in code, so there are no imported art assets. The music is a track I made with Suno.

The game doesn't have a name yet. Next up is the battle system, which is in development right now, so I didn't want to show it yet.

If you have any suggestions or advice on how to improve it (the art, lighting, sprites, anything), please let me know!

POSTED NEW SHOW CASE OF ME MESSING ABOUT IN THE REPLIES

This is just a fan project 8 days in for me, not for money and not for anything official. just some fun and yes it looks like Minecraft 😭

I saw Minimunch's video on Opus 5.5, and the part where he makes a fan recreation of Terraria in 3D got me so hyped that I wanted to see what it would look like if someone just kept going. So I subbed to Claude and started this fan project. This is where it is after 8 days, using Opus 5.5 for everything

All the art and assets are generated by code some stuff by Claude using blender animations are code too he just keeps going and reviewing until eventually it's passable no skills or plugins were used by me as well so all art is achieved by coding and reviewing for the own game sound and music as well that's code too

I keep editing but just so people are aware every boss is in with models and full fights the full game is playable from start to finish just some stuff missing mainly decorations and missed things only been 8 days remember

Scale is based off terraria so blocks are similarly small compared to the player.

I started on the $20 a month plan and upgraded to the next one to make things faster, so this is not what a week on the cheap plan gets you.

What's in it right now: A custom 3D engine written in C#. No Unity, no Godot. About 346,000 lines of code, and I wrote none of it.

3,369 of Terraria's 6,029 items. That includes 407 of 481 weapons, all 256 armour pieces and 154 of 158 potions, with models and animations.

313 of 327 enemies and bosses.

All the models, textures, sound effects and music were made by Claude too. The music in the video is the game's own title theme. Also has settings for using my installed terraria copies music and sounds

What's missing is mostly furniture and decoration variations, vanity items and dyes, plus other bits I haven't found yet. It gets closer every day.

How I worked: honestly I did it lazy and tried to push every single part of the work onto Claude. Most of my prompts are things like "continue however you think is best for our goal". When I play, I take screenshots and explain whether something is a bug or a visual change I want, and those go straight to Claude. It also made itself a bot that playtests the game when I'm not around.

It's just a fun game for me, and I can't wait for it to be done so I can play it properly. I have almost 2k hours in 2D Terraria, No Terraria code, sprites or audio are inside it. If you want your own, feel free to give it a go with whatever model is capable enough by the time you read this.

I also asked Claude to build a showcase world to quickly show how much it has done. The video and pictures are from that world and then the other video is me messing about tryna show off randome stuff and the game

This infographic is just there to pull people into reading what I am asking.

Is there some kind of a meta when you develop games with AI agents?
Like which engine to use? Which 3D generation tools etc.?

posted this in the deadrising sub, but got deleted for being ai. this isnt some one prompt easy thing and took me quite a while to get it working at the state it is. thought yall could appreciate this. AMA

https://www.reddit.com/r/aigamedev/s/sIlsOCobwW here is the first post i answered a bunch of questions and sorry im not the best at knowing how to show stuff everyone asked about its just me messing about
its only been 8 days since we started and im on the pro plan and havent had to buy credits.

yes it looks like minecraft

just so people are aware the almost full terraria experience is in this, i can play from start to finish with no hard blocks ruining the game. all modes and map options and even seeds achievments, wiring, minecarts, every biome and everything you need to progress does exist and the usual ways youd take in terraria to get to the end you can do here, same little tricks same a lot of things of course! its just like terraria guys thats all i can say in terms of content breadth idk how to explain, also no intentions of this being a product even a free one

I made this game and somehow keep getting distracted playing it while I’m supposed to be testing 😂

It’s called Brick Breaker Infinite, inspired by Ultra Pool and Bricks Breaker RPG. Here’s me trying to get first place. Would love to have someone give me a score to chase!

Build your ball army, experiment with forging to create overpowered combos and hybrids, arrange their order, and find the best angle to clear the board.

I made this and still haven’t managed to clear an arena myself 😅 If you clear one, I wanna see!

It’s free to play, no login required. Try it in your free time and play your hearts out. If you beat my record, send me a screenshot 🙂

Send it to a friend and see who gets further. Suggestions and feedback are welcome too!

"6,898 loops in the first 30 minutes of Season 2, from 22:00 to 22:30 CEST."

So. I made a game. A browser game. The famous "io" games. Didn't even know what IO games was exactly. But I had an idea. And I bought an "io" domain. InkDom.io
Then I posted a few places online about the game. And it honestly became more than I could've ever hoped or dreamed for. (Okay I actually dreamt about this). But wow.

It's an online game where the world map is the map. You make loops to claim land with ink. Can form alliances. You can claim other players land. And basically it's just about who gets the most land. But with small twists, like it calculates how many people is inside your land, and inside each loop you take - and the people pay you taxes, so you earn money, etc.

Quickly thousands of players had played the game, and now, in no time, it somehow formed the coolest community, where players are chatting, forming alliances, planning actual real STRATEGIES in my game. There's even like special lingos being made like "Shield snipe". Some players are active on a subreddit here on Reddit about the game.

The game runs in Seasons, and Season 2 just began, with a countdown screen, where all the players that waited for it could chat and talk about what they'll do for Season 2.

It's all just... surreal. I've wanted this for so long. I've been creating so many wierd games, apps etc.

And then one of the small wierd ideas, that I purely made for fun is the one blowing up.

I'm posting this in AI Game Dev because I've used a bunch of AI for this.

Now I even see this as a "how far can I take this project" using AI, since it allows me to work sooooo much faster, and use my energy on being creative etc.

Why am I posting this? Absolutely no idea. My better half is tired of hearing me babble about it. And my friends have stopped hearing at my ideas a looong time ago.

Keep building guys and girls. You apparently literally never know what suddenly just hits just right

7 days ago I started a game about grandparents racing wheelchairs after the pub. Last night we had our first playtest and I can't stop laughing

I started the project 7 days ago. I didn't want to use AI at all, but one of my friends convinced me to try "getting a little bit of help", and that little bit of help BOOSTED the entire project.

I was NEVER expecting to have such a fun and entertaining playtest!

The game is called AfterPub. It's a chaotic party game where pensioners leave the pub and settle things by racing on wheelchairs.

It's still very early and rough around the edges, so I'd love some honest feedback:

- What would make you want to play a game like this with your friends?

- Which mode sounds the most fun to you?

If you want to follow along, you can find the project on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5371870/Afterpub

Thanks for reading, and may your grandma never drift past you on the last corner 👵💨

actual gameplay not sped up , would you guys play this ? not adding any links since it removes the post! dm if anyone wants to try it out its on web/threejs - supports mobile,desktop,controller

Hi r/aigamedev! I've been working on KAESHI, a 2D side-scrolling action game where you parry enemy combos hit by hit, break their posture, and finish them. There's no guard button, and elite swordsmen and bosses can parry you back, so it plays more like a duel than a button masher.

All the art and animation were made with AI. The part that took the most work was animation. Every move started as a short AI video clip, which I turned into frame-by-frame sprites. The hard part wasn't getting good motion, it was keeping the character looking the same across dozens of clips and making attacks readable in the middle of a fight. I ended up rerolling a lot and retiming frames by hand so slow wind-ups feel heavy and fast slashes feel sharp.

The story, combat rules, level design and boss patterns are mine, and AI handled most of the production around them. It let me make something much bigger than I could have otherwise, but it still needed a lot of picking and fixing to feel like one consistent game.

The free demo (Chapter 1, two boss fights) is coming soon on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5349160/KAESHI/

Happy to talk about the workflow if anyone's curious!

Everything you see in the video was generated locally on a laptop with an RTX 3070, in a single night, on the first try. The only things I regenerated were models that came out clearly broken.

Then Claude assembled it all into a demo level in Unity.

Assets Studio tool: https://github.com/kvladsrc/gym/tree/main/assets_studio

Full honesty up front, since that's the interesting part for this sub: I didn't write most of this. Claude (Opus) and Fable did basically all of the actual coding. My job was to point at things — "the shadows flicker here," "this looks wrong," "do X next," "not good enough, redo it" — playtest, and make the calls. Director and QA more than programmer.

What they built is a voxel engine from scratch. No Unity, no Unreal, no libraries — just C++ and raw OpenGL. What it does:

• Generates a big procedural world in code — terrain, biomes, caves, castles, villages, creatures. No asset files at all, which is why the whole game is ~1 MB. It's code, not generated art — every pixel is drawn by shaders the models wrote.

• Renders it with a modern graphics stack built piece by piece: raymarched volumetric clouds you can fly through, cascaded shadow maps with soft contact-hardening (PCSS) shadows, screen-space water reflection + refraction, temporal AA, SSAO, god rays, and a dynamic day/night cycle with a volumetric sky.

• Streams chunks with level-of-detail to draw ~450 chunks to the horizon while keeping the whole world in memory. Multithreaded generation + meshing; runs smooth on an RX 7900 XT.

The part that still surprises me is how much of the genuinely hard stuff — the renderer architecture, the shader math, GPU-driver bugs that took days to corner — the models handled once I could describe the symptom clearly. Knowing what "good" looks like and where it's broken turned out to be most of my value.

You can actually play it https://github.com/vengeful180-dot/LumenFall/releases/tag/v0.22 . Happy to talk about the workflow, how the models handled engine-level code, or where they struggled — ask me anything.

Two things people always ask:

• It's tiny (a couple MB) — that's not a stub. The whole game is a custom C++/OpenGL engine with zero external libraries, and every texture, biome, creature and world is generated procedurally in code. There are no asset files to ship, so it all fits in one small .exe.

• It's a single self-contained .exe — no installer, no dependencies, no telemetry. Scan it if you like. Windows may throw a SmartScreen warning since it isn't code-signed (normal for small indie builds) — just click More info → Run anyway.

Hey everyone! A few days ago, I had the idea of combining elements from some of my favorite games, and that’s how I came up with Parrygod. It’s a Hades-style roguelike with a parry mechanic like Sekiro’s, set in a Japanese cyberpunk world.

I started working on it about three days ago. My current workflow is to use Unity as the engine, generate characters and environments with Magnific, turn them into 3D models with Tripo, and animate them with Mixamo.

I also installed Unimate to try generating animations with AI, but I’m really struggling with rigging and getting good animations that actually fit the game. The character models themselves aren’t looking that great yet either.

Does anyone have any tips for improving the models, rigging, and animations? Or suggestions for a different workflow that could help me get better results?

My background is in design, and I don’t have any coding experience, so any help would be appreciated!

I'm using Opus 5.5 on max effort.
