What AI tools are you using for game development? Here are a few I’m experimenting with or leveraging that have worked well!

Nathan Campbell asked in another post how to best get started with game development, especially when using AI tools. That question stuck with me, because I think a lot of beginners run into the same trap: They start polishing graphics, assets, menus, sounds, effects, and tiny details way too early. So I made this small workflow infographic as a reminder. My main takeaway: Don’t try to make the game beautiful first.Make it clear.Make it playable.Then make it beautiful. Curious how you all approach this:At what point do you usually start caring about final assets and polish?

Anthropic just plugged Claude directly into Blender, Autodesk, SketchUp, Adobe, and Ableton — letting you create and modify 3D models through conversation. This is the biggest creative workflow update for indie game devs since AI coding tools launched, and it reshapes the Claude vs ChatGPT vs Gemini landscape for creative AI tools. Which of these tools do you use?

Hi All, Here is my take on Asteroids. This was done mostly in one prompt, with another 8 or 9 prompts refining things, adding sound, tweaking a little bit of the gameplay and making the menu screen more appealing. It has 11 different asteroid types, many weapon and other power ups (some really cool ones, wait until you try the TESLA lightning bolt), 3 boss levels and boss rush mode, smart bomb, a particle lab for experimentation, high scores, touch controls and more. I have been actively creating neon vector arcade games which helps massively as creating something new within the context of my previous games has massive upside in terms of what I'm able to achieve in a single pass.https://hyper-friendly-shapes.lovable.app Anyway, it's called Hyperoids (temp name, sounds a bit too close to hemorrhoids so need to change that) and was really just an experiment done on the sofa while watching a movie. But I do think it has potential and the speed of getting it to this level was astonishing. It does need more spectacular particle effects (that's why I added the particle lab, so I can experiment with effects without burning through credits) as I want it to be the Asteroids equivalent of Geometry Wars for those who remember that game on the xbox360.
