How to Add Levels to a Game with AI

To add levels and progression to a game, plan a difficulty curve, give each level one new idea, place checkpoints before hard parts, and reward the player for finishing. With AI you describe each level in plain words and let it build them, then tune them yourself. On Chatforce you ask for new levels in chat, lay them out in the Level Editor and tune the numbers in the Variables tab.

The six steps below are plain level design and work for any game. After them is how to do each one on Chatforce.

Six Steps to Good Levels and Progression

  1. Plan the difficulty curve

    Start easy and get harder in steps, with a short breather after each hard part. Write one line per level: what it asks of the player and how hard it is.

  2. Add one new mechanic per level

    Introduce one new thing per level, like moving platforms or a new enemy. Show it first in a safe spot, then in a harder one, then mix it with what came before.

  3. Place checkpoints

    Put a checkpoint before each hard section so a mistake costs seconds, not the whole level.

  4. Reward progress

    Give the player something for finishing a level: a new ability, a new area, a better score or a cosmetic. Rewards make the next level worth playing.

  5. Tie the levels together

    Decide how the player moves forward: levels that unlock in order, a world map, or upgrades that carry over. Keep it simple at first.

  6. Playtest the whole run

    Play from the first level to the last in one sitting, on a phone and a computer. Note where you got bored or stuck, and change those levels first.

Adding Levels on Chatforce

Ask for levels in chat

Describe the next level in a sentence: “Add level 3 with moving platforms over spikes and a checkpoint halfway.” Chatforce builds it and updates the game at the same link.

Ask for progression

Describe how the player moves forward: “Unlock each level after the one before it.” “Give the player a double jump after level 3.” Chatforce adds it to the game.

Lay out levels in the Level Editor

Move platforms, enemies and pickups yourself in the Level Editor, custom-made for your game.

Tune numbers in the Variables tab

Change live values like enemy speed, health or timer length in the Variables tab, then play the level again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many levels should my game have?

Start with three to five short levels. Play them, fix what isn’t fun, then add more. A few good levels beat many rushed ones.

What is a difficulty curve?

It is how hard the game gets over time. A good curve starts easy, gets harder in steps, and gives the player short breaks after hard parts.

Can AI make levels for me?

Yes. On Chatforce you describe the level you want in chat and Chatforce builds it. You can then arrange it yourself in the Level Editor, custom-made for your game.

How do I make my game harder or easier without code?

Ask for the change in chat, or change live values like speed, health and timers in the Variables tab.

Can I add levels to a 3D game?

Yes. Chatforce makes 2D and 3D games, and you can ask for new levels in either. You choose 2D or 3D when you create the game.
