Game Dev
Game development and game engine tools
unity-scriptableobjects
by odysseythink
Architect Unity 6.3 LTS data and decoupling with ScriptableObjects: config/data assets, shared runtime variables, event channels, and runtime sets/registries. Use when designing data-driven systems, replacing singletons/managers, creating .asset data with CreateAssetMenu, or when the user mentions ScriptableObject, SO architecture, or data assets.
gamedev-router
by odysseythink
Routes any game-development request to the right specialized skill(s): it detects the engine (Godot, Unity, Unreal, Bevy, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, LÖVE, pygame, Roblox) and the task, then reads the chosen skill before acting. Use to make a game or to decide which skill applies — for players, levels, enemies, shaders, art direction, sprites, tiles, textures, 3D assets, UI/UX, cameras, game feel, physics, input, audio, saving, multiplayer, AI, dialogue, procedural generation, or performance, for genres (platformer, roguelike, RPG, FPS, tower-defense, card game, visual novel, survival-crafting, puzzle), and for shipping (game jam, Steam, itch). Start here when unsure which gamedev skill to use.
godot-physics
by odysseythink
Use Godot 4.7 physics bodies and detection in 2D and 3D: RigidBody, StaticBody, Area, and CharacterBody; collision layers vs masks; contact/overlap signals; and raycasts (RayCast nodes and direct space-state queries). Use when configuring collision layers/masks, detecting overlaps with Area2D/Area3D, applying forces to a RigidBody, or casting rays in a Godot project (.tscn with physics bodies).
performance-optimization
by odysseythink
Find and fix game performance problems methodically — measure with the engine profiler first, reason about the frame-time budget, locate the CPU-vs-GPU bottleneck, then apply the right fix: object pooling, draw-call batching, fewer allocations/GC spikes, and asset budgets. Engine- neutral method that pairs with each engine's profiler. Use when the user mentions performance, optimize, low/dropping FPS, frame drops, stutter, lag, profiler, frame budget, draw calls, batching, garbage collection/GC spikes, object pooling, or "the game runs slow".
rpg
by odysseythink
Build an RPG: stats and leveling, inventory and equipment, quests, branching dialogue, save/load, and combat. Use for an RPG/JRPG, or designing stat, inventory, quest, or combat systems.
card-game
by odysseythink
Build a card game: card data, deck/hand/discard zones, draw/shuffle/reshuffle, a turn structure, costs, and effect resolution. Use for a deckbuilder, TCG/CCG, or roguelike deckbuilder.
procedural-gen
by odysseythink
Generate game content procedurally — seeded deterministic RNG, value/Perlin/ Simplex noise for terrain and heightmaps, grid dungeon generation (rooms + corridors, BSP, random walk), and weighted loot/drop tables. Engine-neutral algorithms. Use when the user mentions procedural generation, perlin/simplex noise, random seed, dungeon generator, heightmap/terrain, or loot tables.
godot-2d-movement
by odysseythink
Implement 2D kinematic character movement in Godot 4.7 with CharacterBody2D and move_and_slide(): platformer run/jump with gravity, top-down 8-direction motion, slope handling, and reading collisions. Use when coding a 2D player or enemy controller, a platformer or top-down character, or fixing move_and_slide()/ is_on_floor() behavior in a .tscn with a CharacterBody2D.
tower-defense
by odysseythink
Build a tower defense: enemies pathing along lanes, wave spawning, towers that auto-target and fire, an economy, and lives. Use for a tower-defense/wave-defense game, or balancing waves and economy.
unreal-niagara
by odysseythink
Create and control VFX in Unreal Engine 5 with Niagara: systems and emitters, modules and the spawn/update stages, exposed User parameters, and spawning or driving effects from Blueprints or C++. Use when building particle effects, NS_/NE_ assets, spawning a Niagara system at runtime, setting User parameters, or when the user mentions Niagara, VFX, or a particle system in Unreal.
godot-signals-groups
by odysseythink
Build event-driven, decoupled Godot 4.7 gameplay with signals and node groups: declare and emit custom signals, connect with Callables (incl. bind/one-shot), and broadcast to many nodes via groups and call_group. Use when wiring node communication in a Godot project, replacing tight references with signals, emitting/connecting events, or porting 3.x connect("sig", self, "method") code.
itch-publish
by odysseythink
Publish and update a game on itch.io: create the project page and upload builds with the butler CLI (butler push) to named channels. Use for itch.io publishing, butler push, channel naming for Windows/macOS/Linux/HTML5, versioning uploads, or shipping a jam or release build to itch.io.
godot-ui-control
by odysseythink
Build Godot 4.7 user interfaces with Control nodes: anchors and offsets for responsive layout, Container nodes (VBox/HBox/Grid/Margin) for automatic arrangement, Theme resources for consistent styling, and keyboard/gamepad focus navigation. Use when laying out a HUD, menu, or UI in a Godot project, working with Control/Container nodes, anchors, themes, or focus in a .tscn.
threejs-gltf-loading
by odysseythink
Load glTF/GLB models in three.js with GLTFLoader and play their skinned animations with AnimationMixer, including DRACO/Meshopt-compressed meshes and KTX2 textures. Use when importing 3D models into three.js — when the user mentions glTF, GLB, GLTFLoader, AnimationMixer, animation clips, DRACOLoader, or "load a 3D model". For scene/camera/renderer setup use threejs-scene-setup; for materials and lights use threejs-materials-lighting.
unity-tilemap-2d
by odysseythink
Build and script 2D tilemaps in Unity 6.3 LTS: the Grid + Tilemap components, the Tile Palette, tilemap colliders, rule tiles, and runtime SetTile/GetTile painting. Use when painting tile levels, adding a TilemapCollider2D, using rule or animated tiles, generating tilemaps from code, or when the user mentions Unity tilemap, tile palette, rule tile, or Grid.
game-development
by miles990
Game development patterns, architectures, and best practices
survival-crafting
by odysseythink

create-game-assets
by odysseythink
Plan, generate, source, normalize, and validate cohesive visual game assets. Use for art direction, style bibles, sprites, tilesets, backgrounds, UI art, icons, textures, concept art, or 3D asset briefs.
plan-game-design
by jujumelona
Produce a Fabric mod design, request-resolved implementation methods and acceptance-test plan without writing
prototype-fast
by odysseythink
Build a playable prototype in about an hour to answer one question — is it fun? — with greybox primitives, a hard timebox, and explicit keep/kill criteria. Use when prototyping a mechanic, making a vertical slice or MVP, greyboxing/blockout, or judging throwaway vs keep.
unreal-packaging
by odysseythink
Package and ship an Unreal Engine 5 project: the Platforms menu Package Project flow, build configurations (Development vs Shipping), cooking content, packaging settings and the Game Default Map, and command-line builds with RunUAT BuildCookRun. Use when packaging a build, making a shipping build, cooking content, configuring packaging settings, or when the user mentions package Unreal, cook content, shipping build, or BuildCookRun.
godot-shaders
by odysseythink
Write Godot 4.7 shaders in the Godot Shading Language: canvas_item shaders for 2D and spatial shaders for 3D, with vertex/fragment functions, uniforms (source_color, hint_range), TIME/UV animation, and screen-reading via hint_screen_texture. Use when authoring .gdshader files, writing fragment/vertex code, making 2D/3D visual effects, or porting 3.x shaders (SCREEN_TEXTURE, hint_color) to 4.x.
generate-gui-networking
by jujumelona
Generate server-authoritative GUI/networking contracts and validation tests.
godot-resources
by odysseythink
Design data-driven Godot 4.7 games with custom Resource classes: define typed data with class_name + @export, save/load .tres/.res files, instance and duplicate resources, and load on demand with ResourceLoader (incl. threaded loading). Use when modeling items/stats/configs as data in a Godot project, creating .tres resources, or working with custom Resource subclasses and ResourceLoader/ResourceSaver.
