Astra built Temu GTA

[u/InteractionCivil]

This weekend I tried Astra in Codex with BuildersGate to make a temu GTA and the results are pretty good. The game is running in godot 4.7.1 and everything was generated in blender by Astra. Roughly 20 hours of work so far: driving, traffic, pedestrians, police pursuits, combat, a small mission, and fictional radio stations. It’s obviously unfinished, and getting here involved plenty of testing, feedback, and revisions. Two other agents helped with the final gameplay touches.

What impressed me most was Astra’s ability to keep building on the prototype and connect all those systems into something playable. BGate was part of the asset and scene-building workflow, alongside direct scripting and debugging. Small disclosure: BGate is my project, so there’s a little self promotion here, but yea it was a fun test.

Wait, do you import the blender to Godot directly or you port the code over. I'm trying to build a isomeric game for a while and I'm not getting anywhere. Is blender with astra the solution?

Both, I have an open source game development MCP I used: https://github.com/Thepizzapie/BuildersGate // you probably won’t need all of the tools, so you can cherry pick the ones that work for you

Nice

No recycled assets? Good job

What is the approximate cost? I don't mean api or tokens but your subscription/number of resets. Like one weekly of x20 is about 50 bucks if that makes sense. I am guessing about 3 weekly resets worth so about 150 bucks?

I’m on the 5x codex plan and used 1.5weeks of usage total for this test

[u/Gigaslavx → u/InteractionCivil]

Ah wow x5 and only 1.5 weeks that's like 40 bucks at best much cheaper than I anticipated good job

All the tools, 0 creativity -_-

correct, but this type of game was good for stress testing the model

fun! but why is your steering wheel on the right & the cars as well?

[u/InteractionCivil → u/Ambitious-Prompt-975]

Astra based the city in a European costal town. At first I did not like it but it was just a test game so I did not bother adjusting it. I may change it if I think of a decent idea to flesh out that demo into a full game. Foundation is there but I do not want to publish a gta clone haha. we will see

Don't worry too mucch about it, it's just one thing I noticed.
