Create games with Agentic AI Chat

Applies to: Makko ▸ AI Studio (Agentic AI Chat)
Prerequisites: A Makko account

Overview

Agentic AI Chat lets you create scenes, characters, logic, and UI by describing what you want. The assistant plans tasks, proposes changes, and executes them inside your project, all from chat.

Steps

1. In the header, open Projects and Create new or select an existing project.
2. You'll land in AI Studio. In the left toolbar, click 🤖 Chat to open the AI Chat panel.
3. Start prompting in natural language (see examples below).
4. Mode control (under the text box):
   • Think (default): faster, lower credit usage, and good for most tasks.
   • Click ✨ to switch to Ultrathink: deeper planning for multi-step tasks.
5. Review each change summary the AI posts, refine with a follow-up prompt if necessary.

Prompt examples

• "Create a 960×540 scene called "MainMenu" with a Start button centered."
• "Bind WASD to switch idle/walk/run; flip sprite on the X-axis when moving left."
• "Spawn 5 enemies every 10 seconds; give each 30 HP and 10% drop chance for "Gem"."
• "Make a 3-lane endless runner level; increase speed by 5% every 15 seconds."

Tips

• Be direct and specific. Include names, counts, sizes, and coordinates if applicable.
• Use consistent names. Prefer "CamelCase" or "snake_case" (e.g., "MainScene", "Rogue_Movement_V1").
• Control cost. Stay in Think for quick edits; use ✨ Ultrathink only for complex, multi-step changes. Bundling multiple simple tasks in a single message will also reduce cost.
• One task per message. Is better when the task is complex, you need to verify the result before moving on, and when one task depends on another.
• Multiple tasks per message. Is better when there are multiple tasks that are related/share the same context and when tasks are independent.
• Reset context per task. Click the 🗑️ trash at the bottom of the chat to start a fresh chat when switching tasks. This will help the AI model stay focused on the context of the task and ensure there is enough context to finish the task.

Troubleshooting

• I don't see the chat panel. Open AI Studio's left toolbar and click 🤖 Chat.
• Model overplans or times out. Switch back to Think, break the request into smaller steps, and retry.
• Assets not found. Verify names in 📦 Assets and reference the exact manifest/sprite sheet name.
• Model displays an error. There could be an intermittent outage with the AI model that is being used. Change the AI model by clicking the Gear icon in the upper right of the chat window.

FAQ

• When should I use Ultrathink?
  Use ✨ for multi-file edits, complex scene setups, or refactors. Otherwise, stick to Think.
• Can I revert changes?
  Yes, use the project's change history to revert back to save spots.
• Does clearing context delete my project?
  No. It only clears the chat's working memory, increasing available context for the next request.

Next steps

• Add animations to your game using your manifests in AI Studio.
• Bake & export: Create sprite sheets and export PNG + JSON for your engine.
• Polish: Ask, "Add a pause menu," "Add hitboxes," or "Play music "ForestTheme" on loop."
