If you’d rather farm than fight, our list of games like Stardew Valley has more.

Make your own game like Minecraft

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 world, like ‘a blocky island where you mine ore, craft tools and defend a base at night’, choose 3D, and you’ll be playing your first version in minutes.

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.

Our guide on how to make a game like Minecraft goes step by step, and how to make a game like Valheim covers survival building for a group.
