Make your own creature collector

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 your creatures, types and world, like ‘catch water and fire spirits on a chain of islands with turn-based battles’, and keep adding monsters in chat. Original creatures work best, so your game is yours.

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 Pokemon-style game maker or the AI RPG maker. For creature collecting with survival and base building, see how to make a game like Palworld.
