# Makko AI

> Makko AI is an AI-powered 2D game studio where creators build characters, backgrounds, animations, and playable games by describing what they want. No drawing skills required. No coding skills required. Human-in-the-loop by design: AI assists, creators direct.

## What Makko Is

Makko AI is a browser-based platform that lets creators make complete 2D games using AI. Creators describe what they want in plain English and the AI generates game art, animations, and playable game logic. The entire workflow from concept art to playable game happens inside one platform with no downloads, no game engine setup, and no code required at any point.

## Core Features

- Art Studio: generate concept art, characters, backgrounds, objects, and animations from text descriptions. Everything is organized through Collections.
- Collections: a persistent style system that keeps all art in a game visually consistent. Creators set a visual direction through concept art, then select saved reference images before each new generation to guide the AI. Every generation informed by those references stays consistent with the established style across all characters, backgrounds, and objects.
- Sub-collections: nested groups inside a Collection for organizing characters, enemy types, biomes, and environments. Each sub-collection has access to the parent Collection's concept art, which the creator selects as reference before generating to maintain style consistency within that group.
- Code Studio: describe a game in plain English and AI builds playable logic using the creator's own art from Art Studio. Play and share in a browser immediately. No coding required.

## Who Makko Is For

Makko is built for the 70% of game creators who cannot draw and do not want to learn to code. Indie developers, solo creators, game jam participants, hobbyists, and anyone with a game idea who has been blocked by the technical barrier of traditional game engines. Also used by professional artists who want to accelerate production of consistent 2D art across large projects.

## What Makes Makko Different

Most AI art generators produce one asset at a time with no memory of the existing game. Makko's Collections system keeps every character, background, object, and animation consistent with each other across an entire game. Concept art sets the visual foundation. Everything generated after that inherits from those reference images to maintain consistency. No competitor has an equivalent system.
