A weekend AI game needs a cut list
Plan a weekend AI game around one mechanic, an early playable build and a clear cut list so you still have time to test and share it.
Build your first AI game: one room, five coins, one exit
Make your first AI-assisted game by building a tiny collecting challenge, testing it in short steps and giving someone else a playable link.
Design a browser-game save you can change later
Design a versioned save format with validation, migration and failure behavior so future AI-assisted changes do not strand your players' progress.
Export your Godot game early enough to fix the web problems
Take a small Godot project through web export, hosting and browser checks before adding more content, with attention to input, audio and loading.
Give AI your movement limits before asking for a level
Prototype AI-assisted levels from real movement constraints, compare a few purposeful layouts and tune a gray-box room through observation instead of decoration.
Give your AI game idea a brief it can actually build
Write a short AI game brief that explains the controls, goal and first milestone, with an example you can adapt before your next coding session.
Let someone play your game before you explain it
Run a useful first playtest by watching where a player gets confused, asking specific questions and fixing one clear problem at a time.
