Background: I've been making games and apps with Unity for 16+ years. I had someone ask a question about how to use Claude Code to make a game and after writing a short novel, I thought, "hey, this could be helpful to others" -- but I'll let y'all be the judge. (note: a lot of this would also apply to making an app or any piece of software with Claude Code) Someone asked me about making something based off an existing game, but also how would he attract programmers to help him / work for him. Below is my response: --- To start... you need Unity (and some basic familiarity with it) and the Unity MCP and Claude Code (the CLI) -- and claude opus. Opus is extremely good at letting you drop the whole vision at once (including screenshots) and tell it what you're wanting to do. In this case, make a game like XYZ. And it'll tell you where to start and how to progress from there. The one thing that AI cannot do is make a game that's fun. Not intentionally, anyway. It's pretty much always going to need tweaks. In your case, wanting to make a game with big monster trucks... The key to ANY game is usually going to be one core piece or mechanic. I would tackle that hardest piece first. You need to get those vehicles rolling and feeling good to play. AI can build something, and it can build something you can tweak, but it cannot "make a fun game" any more than AI can "make a song that moves me" -- it's too subjective to the person interacting. Talk to Claude Opus, tell it the grand plans, ask it where to start, ask it to build a tech spec for the v0.1 -- again, I'd absolutely start with the car. Tell it you're going to use claude code and the unity mcp. It can build a markdown file very specifically for claude code, along with instructions. Then go to a directory with that file in it (probably needs to be an existing but empty Unity project if you're going to use Unity), go into claude's CLI and reference that file with @ saying something like, "I want you to plan out and then build to the specification in the @car_game.md file" (and the @ will bring up a list of files, fyi)
