To make a game set in your city, pick one thing locals recognize, such as a coffee order, a transit line, a skyline, or a local rivalry, and build one simple game loop around it. In Chatforce you describe the place and the idea in chat, four AI agents build a playable browser game, and you share it with a link. Grand Theft Toronto, a delivery game through Toronto made on Chatforce, is the worked example on this page.

The worked example: Grand Theft Toronto
Grand Theft Toronto does three things well. It picks one local joke (Toronto driving and Tim Hortons runs). It uses one loop (pick up an order, deliver it, avoid robbers). And it stays small, a top-down 2D map that loads fast and plays on a phone. It is the most played game on Chatforce, and local press picked it up: see Toronto Life and blogTO. More Toronto examples are on games set in Toronto.
Build your city game in four steps
Pick the local hook
Write down one or two things everyone from your city knows: a food, a transit line, the weather, a landmark, a neighborhood rivalry. The game should make sense to a local in one sentence.
Choose a simple loop and a view
Delivery, racing, a runner, a clicker, or a defense game all work. Choose 2D or 3D when you create the game; that choice cannot be switched later. 2D top-down is the quickest way to a readable map.
Describe the place in detail
Give the Artist real texture: street names that sound right, the color of the buses, the skyline at night. Use original art and names rather than real company logos. Ask the Sound Engineer for music that fits the city.
Play, fix, and share
The first playable usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Play it, then ask for one change at a time in chat. When it is ready, publish it and send the link to people from your city. Friends can play without an account.
Example prompt: Make an original 2D top-down game set in my city on the first snow day of winter. The player is a snowplow driver clearing five neighborhood streets before the morning rush. Parked cars, a hill that gets icy, and a coffee stop that refills your boost meter. Show a map with street names that sound local, use original art, and add an upbeat soundtrack.
Ideas that work for almost any city
- A transit game: drive the bus or subway line everyone complains about, and keep to the schedule.
- A food run: deliver the city's signature food before it gets cold.
- A skyline game: fly, clean, or defend the skyline from something silly.
- A weather game: survive your city's worst week of weather.
- A rivalry game: race the neighboring city or the other side of the river.
Chatforce publishes every game at a shareable browser URL. Friends can play without an account, the game runs in desktop and phone browsers, and published games have no watermark. You own the work. Online multiplayer works in both 2D and 3D games, so friends from the same city can play together.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI make a game about my city?
Yes. Describe your city and a game idea in Chatforce, and four AI agents (Studio Director, Coder, Artist, and Sound Engineer) build a browser-playable 2D or 3D game with code, art, and audio.
Can I use real places and brands?
Real places, streets, and landmarks are good material. Use original names and art for businesses and characters instead of real logos or someone else's characters.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe the game in plain language and change it in chat. No engine install is needed for you or your players.
How do people play it?
You publish the game at a shareable URL. It runs in phone and desktop browsers, and friends can play without an account. Paid plans start at $20/month, or you can join the Creator Program.
