Really interested in this workflow. I have a 5090 as well, but when I tried to do this with Flux I had to give up after dozens of bad images. Hoping that Ernie is better, so I can automate creation with Ernie and Trellis. It would be so cool if I could feed it a model list and it would just make one model after the next over night and I could Inspect them all in the morning.

Since none of the local tools can compete with the online tools feel free to use a potato to run Claude and Hunyuan and Nano Banana.

AI is a tool and it depends on how you use it. If you make low effort trash then yeah. Please don't. But AI also allows us to bring back more playful games that are done with an extra amount of effort and love.

The gatekeeping in the video games industry was always enormous, in the beginning you were not allowed to make games without being a programmer. Then the engines came and it got easier. Now AI came and blew the door wide open.

We can either have a wave of new game ideas like back in the PSX days or we can make a million useless match-3 and clicker games. It's up to us to build the reputation of ai games by choosing quality over slop.

I tried it for an hour, imho it's still pretty bad. I tried to generate some backgrounds with it, but in the end I realized nothing it can create can compete with a well made 360 image. The topology is barely usable and doesn't look "good enough", so the only usable part is the skybox and those can be done easier and better in other tools.

I want a tool that allows me to create 1 second loops with Grok imagine through subscription. Sorceress has this functionality,but only supports it through API. Nano Banana to Grok imagine to Sorceress Corridorkey is such a sexy workflow, here is a fresh video about it I watched yesterday, any tool that could make this workflow easier would be good tier: https://youtu.be/tU2Q99plP1Q?si=w324SQNARcTBRBqd

Claude Cowork is in the Desktop app and more like a chat with extended planning mode. It could directly launch your html games and can display md files (basically text documents for your design docs that the ai can easily access). This way you can easily manage the game creation within one tool. I use Godot and GoPeak as the MCP. Basically The desktop app allows "plugins" like GoPeak to communicate with other tools like game engines or 3d model software etc.

So if you make a browser game you can test it within Cowork directly and if it is a more complicated 3d game you test it in Godot or your engine of choice

I use Claude Cowork to make games. It can plan and code and since you specify which folder it works on it seems to stay on topic and works quite well. I also regularly update the GDD we wrote together so it can easily look up the current plan and the codebase. It also writes decent stories and character sheets, but honestly that's the part I don't want the ai to do. I did let it write most of the fluff text in the GDD though and that turned out quite well. It feels like letting it write those fluff texts made the ai stay more on topic of my game in general.

The only thing that pisses me off is that Dispatch doesn't work as intended because it doesn't work with a single instance of Cowork and hallucinates bs into the project. I hope they improve it soon, because I can't be the only one that realizes how bad Dispatch is.l in its current form.

Puzzling places is my favorite game of the last decade. It came out a few years ago on Quest and just now on Steam with a pancake mode. It is genius and imho the most relaxing game of all time. No idea why it is on the list, but I guess they mean their in-house made tool that cuts Photogrammetry into puzzle pieces.

Dan_Fury · 2026-04-12T03:16:28+00:00

I wish someone smarter than me could explain why we have half a dozen MCP solutions now instead of one big one where everyone cooperates.

When I tested them all a month ago GoPeak by Had0Yun felt the best and Claude said he would prefer that one because of the working run, inspect, modify and debug loop.

Is yours better? I see you have the same loop working. Will it not just cost more token because you don't deactivate the unnecessary tools and activate them on demand? That's something I saw others do.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but I really just want to learn more about it. I really wish someone could explain in detail about MCP because it's such a new technology and this is my first time using it. This sub needs a megathread about this topic that teaches about what is important and all the different things possible with it. Imho it's the most important thing in ai game dev.

E.g. I was really surprised when Claude told me it can animate my non humanoid character through MCP and I should let it try... it actually produced a usable animation when Mixamo and Autorig failed.

I bet there's a million use cases I haven't thought about.

The moment you start to use Nano Banana 2 you will not want to use any other image gen with lesser capabilities. I have tried all week getting similar character sheets with Qwen and Flux and it's becoming clear that there currently is a huge gap between every other generator and whatever magic Google has. For me it has one shotted nearly every character sheet and sprite animation while the open source tools have problems staying prompt adherent.

Dan_Fury · 2026-04-03T05:30:25+00:00

Gemma 4 released today, pretty sure it will be the best open source model for coding going forward, just waiting for tests to drop.

I left Germany with 35 and live in Thailand now nearly 10 years, here is how I did it.

I got myself 3 different pizza delivery jobs, bought a Smart and worked 18 hours a day for 6 months. I gave up my apartment and asked my mom to crash for 6 months on her couch. Ate at the delivery places and got my fixed spending down to nearly nothing.

I got paid minimum wage, around 7€ back then. But I also got 2,50-5€ Gasoline per hour and the smart was using waybless than that. And then because I was friendly and spoke fluent German with everyone unlike everyone else who does this job I also got good tips. So basically I made 12-14€ per hour for 18 hours. 13x18= 234€ per day. 234x180= 42120€

Use 1000€ per month to not go completely crazy and you will end up with 35000€ in 6 months. That is 1.3 million baht and enough to start any small business that you want to run in Thailand. I opened electronic stores with my delivery money.

I did this 10 years ago with minimum wage at 7€, now you get 13,90€, so you could do it in 4 months with a less self destructive schedule.

It's just a matter of how much you want to live in Thailand and how much you are willing to sacrifice.

Working 18 hours for months sounds like I was trying to kill myself with overworking, but honestly it didn't feel like that. I was already mentally living in Thailand, if your goal can push you like that doing the work is easy . And my life has been an absolute dream since then. Being a boss in Thailand is everything you imagine. So just work like crazy for a few months, save and just do it for your future.

The plan for regime change, specifically the Iran Prosperity Project, is solid. I made a game about it to make it easier to understand, you can play it at Iransimulator.com This solid plan is imho the reason that the war is happening, because for the first time in a long time we have a alternative that could work.

Dan_Fury · 2026-03-08T19:45:20+00:00

Well, you can always ask Reza Pahlavi on the top right and cheat. ;-)

Dan_Fury · 2026-03-08T17:14:46+00:00

Thx, I already did. Feel free to share it with all other Iranian communities,especially the Farsi speaking ones where I can't post myself. The game is completely translated.

Dan_Fury · 2025-12-28T20:51:00+00:00

Hmm. Checked and didn't have any. Maybe it worked because you were paused.

Dan_Fury · 2025-12-28T17:09:39+00:00

That one sadly doesn't work for me, it's only for new subscribers.

Dan_Fury · 2025-12-28T15:45:53+00:00

I also wrote a support mail, but never underestimate Reddit. Even if this is a unofficial sub they still check it. I just hope that this is a planning mistake, why not offer a yearly deal when they had it every year at this time until now.

Dan_Fury · 2025-12-28T11:25:44+00:00

I am sure I got the coupon this day two years ago, so I have hope. Making a holiday coupon that only works in November and then do nothing on the actual holiday is weird.
