Make your own Poppy Playtime style 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 it, like ‘a closed-down candy factory where the old mascot follows you through the vents, with three puzzles to get the exit door open’, and the first version is playable 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.
