Make your own asymmetric horror game
Chatforce is an AI platform that turns a game idea into a playable 2D or 3D game you can share with a link. It’s slop-proof by design, because each agent specializes in one part of game development: the studio director plans the game, the coder builds it, the artist makes the art, and the sound engineer handles music and sound effects. A first playable takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and then you keep changing it in chat.
Describe the match, like ‘four survivors fix generators in a cornfield while one player hunts them’, choose 2D or 3D, and test it with friends from a link.
You can join the Creator Program for free. Accepted creators get chips, the credits you spend to build and edit games, with a welcome grant and a daily top-up.
Start with the multiplayer game maker, or see how to make a game like Phasmophobia for co-op horror.
