Can AI Build a Game Good Enough for Steam?

Check out his channel!    / @aidevchallenge   My brother and I are making a survival game, and we're taking it all the way to Steam. This is episode one, and you'll see the whole thing: what AI can actually do, where it struggles, and how much work still goes into making something look good. The game is set in the Beskids, a mountain range in southern Poland where I live — forests, narrow mountain roads, wooden houses, and the feeling that something might be out there with you. We start from the concept, put AI agents to work modelling trees in Blender, throw away the first library because it looked too generic, and rebuild it in a style that fits. Then we get the forest running: 34,000 triangles per birch down to 2,800, a procedural dirt road, grass painted onto a handful of planes, props, lighting, and one shadow slider that quietly eats half the frame rate. At the end we go after the ground itself — real elevation data from Poland's Geoportal and routes from OpenStreetMap, turned into terrain. Everything here is Godot 4, Blender and a pile of AI agents working directly on the project files. No MCP server, just plain text and a loop of run, check, fix.
