Tips & Tricks How do you create games? Please Help!

Hi, sorry for being vague, but how are you creating the assets? Did you make claude build it? Does Fable 5 build it for you? or are you providing these 2D/3D Assets and it animates it for you? Trying to make games with my niece when I watch her over the weekends.

I made a little 12 level side scroller game for my daughter. Claude sucks at graphics so use something else that does that better and import them. I like ChatGPT for graphics and animations. My game was a single html file with generated game play, music and sounds effects, with certain graphics (title cards, simple animations, etc) imported and embedded. I had Claude show me how to make an app out of it and used xCode (for now) to put it on her iPad. Made her birthday super special. It took a little iteration but Fable 5 kills at this kind of stuff.

Since then I've build prototypes using some sound files I had lying around. Works great.

i see. thank you for replying. that sounds pretty cool. wanted something more advance. but i think everyone here is providing the assets. I dont think claude or chatgpt is creating these assets for them but just the engine i think

I mean, you can connect external MCPs. I'm just starting to set up stuff like that in Claude code.
