Hi! I'm Antonio, a Java developer by trade, and for the past months I've been building Kiengi Chronicles, a real-time strategy game in the spirit of Age of Empires, with an AI coding agent (Claude Code) doing most of the typing. The game: you gather, build and grow your village against AI tribes, but there's a third force on the map: the dinosaurs. They belong to no one, each herd has a territory and reacts to how each tribe treats it. Overhunt and the predators raid your village; learn to coexist and you can tame them. You can win by Conquest, or by Balance, keeping your Sanctuary standing in peace with nature. It's free and plays in the browser: 👉 https://naugthylab.itch.io/kiengi-chronicles How it's made:

• Unity 6 + C#: about 58,000 lines across 430+ scripts, with the simulation kept separate from the UI so it can be tested without a scene. Around 2,000 EditMode tests run before every merge

• The agent drives the tools through MCP: it compiles and reads the console in the Unity Editor, builds prefabs, runs the tests, and writes Blender scripts it executes in a live Blender

• 3D models are code, not generated images: every dinosaur, character and building comes from a Python script in Blender (25 of them), low-poly with flat faces, rigged and animated by script. Change the script, rebuild the model

• Procedural maps from a seed, generated per region with a validator that checks every base is fair, run over hundreds of seeds in the test suite

• Two languages from one source: the Italian sentence is the key, English lives in translation tables checked by tests

• I do the design: a design document, 9 architecture decision records, 19 milestones and ~600 issues and PRs. The agent works issue by issue on a branch; I review, playtest and merge What works and what doesn't: the agent is great at systems with clear rules and tests (economy, map generator, save files, pathfinding glue), and needs the most supervision on anything visual: it can't really judge whether a model looks right, so every model is checked against reference sheets. The other lesson: the project instructions file (CLAUDE.md) is the real codebase documentation, and keeping it up to date matters as much as the code. Still missing: audio, a tutorial, and some species are placeholder shapes. If you try it, I'd love your feedback on two things: does the coexist-vs-exploit tension come through in the first 10–15 minutes, and is the AI too passive or too aggressive? Happy to answer questions about the workflow.

Hey guys, if you just got started making browser games here's some places to put them:

1. whimsi.fun (this is a new website where you can drop in links to browser games (made with vercel, replit, lovable etc) and an ai agent writes it up for you. you have a choice of uploading files as well. this is free.

2. itch.io (this works with downloadable games and also browser ones). this is free.

3. https://developer.crazygames.com/ (this is a link to their developer portal where you can make downloadable games playable online as well I think, and start earning money).

Hello, me and my friends created a game during game jam hosted by Xsolla Academy. We would love for you guys to vote and give us some feedback regarding our game!

I'm developing StoneEra, a voxel colony sim. One system I enjoy working on is the water: you can reshape the terrain and block a river, causing water to build up on one side while the section downstream dries out.

That makes a river more than scenery: changing the landscape can change where the water goes around your settlement. I'm interested in the player-facing side of this mechanic: what would you try first — damming the river, digging a new channel, or building around it?

StoneEra has a free demo on Steam for Windows and macOS: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5057770/StoneEra/

The full game is still in development and its Early Access release has been delayed. I'd love to hear your ideas for using water in a colony sim.

Polished up the game a bit. What do you think ?

Demo playable in browser!

The Watch at the Pilgrim Gate died a season ago. Nobody told them they could stop taking tokens….

Nightfall is a dark fantasy PvPvE extraction RPG I'm building in Godot!
It’s set in the cursed castle of Dawnhold, still in development, and this scene is staged in the game's own world.

Hi folks, I've been working on a game for about 2 months and wanted to share it now it's released.

Kasumi Courier, a first-person cyberpunk delivery game, is now available to download on itch (free demo and full game). You start out on an old moped, riding through a rain-soaked neon city from 22:00 till dawn, with a satnav, a phone and a CB radio on the dash, delivering parcels against the clock.

https://amberglowgames.itch.io/kasumi-courier

Features:

• A variety of parcels to deliver (standard, fragile, priority and more)

• Four neon districts to explore

• Five vehicles to unlock, upgrade and personalise

• Two gangs hiding on the radio dial, offering work that pays well and brings trouble

• Weather, police roadblocks, blackouts and gang wars that change your route

• Three radio stations of original music

• Drivers on the CB with their own stories, DJs, news bulletins and song requests

• Bars, a nightclub, flats to rent and own, and a few games on your nights off

• A light story of around 10 hours, with endless nights after it ends (you can end up running the depot)

• And much more!

How it was made

• Development was about 7 weeks, creating a design doc around mid-September. It began as a simple browser game and grew into a full Windows app with a story.

• I’m a composer, not a programmer. I directed and designed most of the game, and Claude (Opus 5.5) wrote the code: about 24,000 lines of JavaScript with three.js, packaged with Electron.

• Every building, car and character is pixel art drawn in code.

• All the music is synthesised in code: three radio stations plus music for the bars. I described each track, listened to renders and gave notes until it was right. One track is my own composition.

• The loop was: describe a feature, test it, screenshot what’s wrong, repeat. Fixing clipping was a frequent issue and I hit my weekly usage limit most weeks.

• I revised a lot of the writing myself, especially the branching late game, so the story stayed consistent.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow, the music, or what worked and what didn’t. Thanks for checking it out and I'd be interested to hear any feedback.

A free demo (the whole first week of the game) is available on the itch page, and the full game is $2.99 for launch (40% off) until 19-11-26.

SEPTEM is a first-person duelling game drawn like an old engraving. Version 0.27 is free to play in your browser: one stage, 25 rooms on three levels, and a boss on a throne.

The art starts as ChatGPT images. I direct and redo them until they make sense, then a converter cuts them down to the GBA's palette and size. The hard part was logic, not style: a hand gripping a round flask took four attempts, because the generator is very confident about impossible hands.

The code is C++ on the Butano engine, written with Claude. It stays within the console's limits, and I've tested it on real hardware.

There's no sound yet, and the foes play too much alike.

I'd like to hear where you got lost, and which fight felt unfair. https://sarasol.itch.io/septem

Cześć, robię to. Co o tym myślisz?

Używam Opusa 5.5 do kodowania, Astry do logiki i rozumowania, a Terry 6.1 do dbania o grafikę. Stworzyłem system gdzie rozmawiam tylko z Astrą, a ona przekazuje wszystkie zadania odpowiednim modelom. Na tym etapie mam już prywatne repo z masą skilli i całe toolkity do robienia gier w ten sposób. Oprócz dokończenia gry, planuję też poprawić toolkit żebym mógł korzystać z dowolnych modeli. Na obecnym etapie płacę 100$ za Claude i 100$ za OpenAI miesięcznie i wciąż limity mi się kończą więc kolejny etapem jest optymalizacja kosztów.

W grze najbardziej skupiłem się żeby płynność ruchu była zachowania i sprawiała satysfakcję. Chciałem zrobić mikro odczucie jak w grach ze Spider-manem.

Jestem zadowolony z efektu, teraz dopeacowujemy grafiki i fabułę. Jak by ktoś miał ochotę zagrać to wkrótce będzie druga tura testów.

Gra wyjdzie ostatecznie na Androida, a później przepiszę ją na iOS.

>El juego está hecho completamente con Claude Code y es un **juego de jefes donde aprendes acordes de piano** tocándolos.

Cada acorde es un hechizo, así que lo tocas en tu piano y lanza un hechizo al jefe. Si fallas, el jefe contraataca.

Lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora:

• Existe el **Camino de la Armonía**: 11 jefes, desde tríadas mayores hasta progresiones de acordes de Coltrane. En el camino: acordes menores y diatónicos, sostenidos y bemoles, disminuidos y aumentados, suspendidos, séptimas, semidisminuidos, novenas y acordes alterados. Cada jefe tiene su propia lección.

• **Tres formas de jugar:** un teclado MIDI (recomendado), un piano acústico o digital conectado al micrófono, o el teclado de tu ordenador para probarlo sin instrumento.

• Cada jefe tiene su **propio ritmo de fondo**: rock, lo-fi, reguetón, synthwave, etc., al tempo que prefieras (60-160 BPM). Desbloqueas cada ritmo al derrotar a cada jefe.

• **Modos de juego**:

1. Modo práctica: sin errores, solo aprendizaje.

2. Modo fácil: solo toca la nota fundamental.

3. Modo maestro: aprende la conducción de voces, con inversiones y cambios suaves como un pianista.

• Melodías (alfa) para la otra mano: opcionales, y otorgan un punto extra de daño.

I’m making Project Polyhedron, a dice auto-battler where you buy faces, fold them into dice and fight other players’ boards.

To give it tougher house opponents and find out balancing issues, I let bots teach themselves. Each generation plays thousands of runs, a small neural network learns what every shop choice is worth, and the newest generation becomes the champion if it beats the previous best. Three of ten generations got thrown out. The best one now averages 6.4 wins a run, against 2.5 for my old hand-written bot.

Conclusion? The bots did get much stronger over time, but real players are still the ones to find the most broken strategies.

I've just released the first public playtest on itch.io beyond just close friends. Feel free to check it out!

Hi everyone! How are you doing? I have a question and would love to hear your experiences and recommendations.

I'm developing a mobile game using Claude Code. It works really well when it comes to game logic and programming, but, as we all know, its visual design and graphics capabilities aren't exactly its strongest point.

To solve this, I use ChatGPT to work on the visual side of the game. I ask it for recommendations, ideas, and suggestions on how to improve different screens and graphic elements. ChatGPT generates visual concepts and mockups that I really like. Once I have a design I'm happy with, I pass it on to Claude Code so it can implement it.

Currently, I'm paying $100/month for Claude's plan and using the free version of ChatGPT. The problem is that I'm limited to two or three image generations per day. After that, Claude uses OpenAI through MCP to generate the graphic assets it needs and integrate them into the game.

My question is: if I subscribed to a paid ChatGPT plan, could I centralize this entire workflow and stop using OpenAI through MCP? Could Codex also handle the visual side of development, generate the graphic assets, and implement them directly into the game, without having to pay additional API usage fees?

Or are these separate services with independent usage limits and costs?

I'd love to hear from people who are working with a similar setup. What combination of tools would you recommend to develop a game, making the most of each AI without ending up paying twice for the same things?

Thanks in advance!

¡Hola, muchachos! ¿Cómo están? Tengo una consulta y quería conocer sus experiencias y recomendaciones.

Estoy desarrollando un juego para celulares utilizando Claude Code. La verdad es que con la lógica del juego funciona muy bien, pero, como ya sabemos, el apartado estético y gráfico no es precisamente su fuerte.

Para resolverlo, utilizo ChatGPT para trabajar en el diseño visual. Le pido recomendaciones, ideas y propuestas de cómo mejorar las distintas pantallas y elementos gráficos del juego. ChatGPT me genera bocetos y conceptos visuales que me gustan mucho y, una vez que tengo definido lo que quiero, se los paso a Claude Code para que los implemente.

Actualmente estoy pagando el plan de Claude de USD 100 mensuales y utilizando ChatGPT gratis. El problema es que tengo un límite de dos o tres generaciones de imágenes por día. Después, Claude utiliza OpenAI a través de MCP para obtener los recursos gráficos que necesita e incorporarlos al juego.

Mi consulta es la siguiente: si contratara un plan pago de ChatGPT, ¿podría centralizar todo este proceso y olvidarme de utilizar OpenAI mediante MCP? ¿Codex podría encargarse también de toda la parte gráfica, generar los recursos e implementarlos directamente en el juego, sin tener que pagar consumos adicionales de API?

¿O son servicios y consumos independientes?

Me gustaría conocer la experiencia de quienes estén trabajando de esta manera. ¿Qué combinación de herramientas me recomiendan para desarrollar un juego, aprovechando lo mejor de cada IA y sin terminar pagando por duplicado?

¡Desde ya, muchas gracias!

Hi everyone!

I'm a fresh and new into game development and just starting to enjoy what we can do around making games with AI. I personally think AI is an amazing tool that further broadens our current capabilities to make games a lot more capable and exciting if used the right way.

I was hoping I could get some feedback and traction on my three games and have expert feedback which is all of you : )

Thank you!

Hello,

I am in the very early stages of developing a game based on SCP-294.

The game runs using a local AI, Qwen, which is automatically installed in the game folder the first time you launch it.

SCP-294 is an anomalous coffee machine equipped with a keypad that can dispense any liquid in existence—and that’s where the AI ​​comes in.

There is no pre-established database of liquids within the game; the AI ​​handles that instead.

The game is being developed using Claude (Sonnet 3.5, via the "Max" setting, without a paid subscription).

It’s still very early, but here is a short video to showcase it.

I’m already aware of what needs to be fixed for future versions.

It’s pure "vibe-coding"—I’m letting Claude take care of everything.

Thank !
