# Unity AI Game Creator

## Overview

This skill transforms a raw game concept into a fully structured Unity development plan with AI-generated assets, scenes, music, scripts, and deployment-ready builds. It guides the agent through a 5-phase pipeline — from extracting core game dimensions to producing ready-to-use AI prompts for every asset category — using the latest Unity 6+ features and AI tooling ecosystem. Unlike generic Unity reference skills, this skill is workflow-driven: the user provides an idea, and the agent delivers a complete, actionable game development roadmap.

## When to Use This Skill

- Use when a user describes a game idea and wants a complete development plan
- Use when generating AI prompts for 3D models, textures, music, sound effects, or UI assets
- Use when setting up a new Unity project from scratch with modern architecture
- Use when creating Scene Blueprints from a concept description
- Use when building a Game Design Document (GDD) from a rough idea
- Use when leveraging Unity AI Assistant, MCP server, or external AI tools in a game workflow
- Use when planning monetization, performance budgets, or app store deployment

## How It Works

### Master Pipeline

Execute these phases in order. Each phase produces concrete deliverables before advancing.

```
PHASE 1: IDEATION ──▶ PHASE 2: BLUEPRINT ──▶ PHASE 3: GENERATION ──▶ PHASE 4: ASSEMBLY ──▶ PHASE 5: DEPLOYMENT
  Game Brief            GDD + Scenes           AI Prompts + Assets     Project Setup          Build + Store
  Genre Analysis        Architecture           Scripts + Audio         Core Systems           QA + Submit
  Scope Assessment      Scene Blueprints       Voice + UI              Polish + Juice         Analytics
```

### Phase 1: Ideation & Deep Analysis

Extract and clarify these dimensions from the user's game idea. Ask only for what is ambiguous — infer the rest from context.

| Dimension | What to Extract | If Unclear |
|-----------|----------------|------------|
| **Genre** | Primary + secondary genre blend | Suggest 3 genre combinations |
| **Platform** | Mobile, PC, Console, WebGL, VR/AR | Recommend based on scope |
| **Perspective** | 2D, 2.5D, 3D, Top-down, Side-scroll, FPS, TPS | Infer from genre |
| **Art Style** | Realistic, Stylized, Pixel, Low-poly, Anime, Painterly | Suggest 3 options |
| **Core Loop** | The 30-second repeating gameplay action | Identify from description |
| **Target Audience** | Age range, gamer profile, platform habits | Recommend based on genre |
| **Session Length** | Average play session duration | Infer from platform + genre |
| **Monetization** | Free-to-play, Premium, Hybrid | Recommend based on platform |
| **Scope** | Solo dev, small team, studio | Ask if not obvious |
| **Timeline** | MVP in weeks, full release target | Suggest realistic milestones |

**Also provide:**
1. **Top 3 Reference Games** — What they do well, what the user can learn
2. **Market Gap** — What opportunity exists that competitors miss
3. **Core Differentiator** — The one unique thing about this game
4. **Risk Assessment** — Technical and market risks with mitigations

**Scope Calibration:**

| Scope | Timeline | Team Size | Feature Budget |
|-------|----------|-----------|----------------|
| Prototype | 1–2 weeks | Solo | Core loop only |
| Vertical Slice | 4–6 weeks | Solo–2 | 1 complete level + polish |
| MVP | 8–12 weeks | 2–4 | 3–5 levels + save + UI |
| Full Release | 16–24+ weeks | 3–8 | Complete content + multiplayer |

### Phase 2: Blueprint & Design

#### Game Design Document (GDD)

Generate a structured GDD covering:

1. **Executive Summary** — Elevator pitch, genre, USPs
2. **Gameplay** — Core loop diagram, progression, abilities, win/loss, difficulty curve
3. **World & Narrative** — Setting, characters, level structure
4. **Art Direction** — Visual style, color palette (hex codes), reference descriptions, UI/UX style
5. **Audio Direction** — Music style per scene, SFX categories, voice needs
6. **Technical Spec** — Unity version, render pipeline, performance budgets, SDKs
7. **Monetization Strategy** — Revenue model, IAP design, ad placement
8. **Development Roadmap** — Phases, milestones, feature priority matrix, risk register

#### Scene Blueprints

For each scene, produce a hierarchy covering:

- **Environment** — Ground/terrain, skybox, lighting setup, props with positions
- **Interactive Objects** — Behavior on interaction
- **Characters / NPCs** — AI behavior, patrol paths, dialogue triggers
- **UI Overlay** — HUD elements, contextual prompts
- **Audio Layers** — Background music (mood, tempo, loop point), ambient SFX, trigger SFX
- **Camera Setup** — Type (Cinemachine/Fixed/Follow), behavior configuration
- **Systems Active** — Save checkpoints, spawners, particle effects

#### Architecture Blueprint

Provide recommended project folder structure:

```
Assets/_Project/
├── Scripts/ (Core, Gameplay, UI, Data, Audio, Utilities)
├── Prefabs/ (Characters, Environment, UI, VFX)
├── Scenes/
├── Art/ (Models, Textures, Materials, Animations, UI_Assets)
├── Audio/ (Music, SFX, Ambience)
├── ScriptableObjects/
└── Resources/
```

### Phase 3: AI-Powered Asset Generation

For every asset category, provide ready-to-use prompts for the best current AI tools.

#### 3D Model Prompts

Recommend tools dynamically (Meshy.ai, Tripo3D, Rodin, Unity AI Assistant) and generate prompts including:
- Asset name, art style, gameplay purpose
- Polygon budget, texture resolution, PBR maps needed
- Animation-ready flag, scale reference
- Unity import settings (scale factor, normals, animation type, material handling)

#### Texture & 2D Asset Prompts

Recommend tools (Leonardo.ai, Midjourney, DALL·E, Unity AI Assistant) and generate prompts including:
- Texture type (seamless tile, sprite, UI element, concept art)
- Resolution, style, tiling requirements, PBR maps
- Unity import settings (texture type, filter mode, compression, max size)

#### Music Prompts

Recommend tools (Suno, Soundraw, Sonauto) and generate prompts including:
- Track name, scene context, mood, tempo (BPM), duration
- Instruments, reference tracks, loop points, dynamic layers
- Unity import settings (format, load type, compression, loop config)

#### Sound Effects Prompts

Recommend tools (ElevenLabs, OptimizerAI/SFX Engine) and generate prompts including:
- SFX name, category, gameplay context, duration
- Variation count, characteristics
- Unity import settings (format, load type, 3D sound config, variation arrays)

#### Voice & Narration Prompts

Recommend tools (ElevenLabs, Play.ht, Coqui) and generate prompts including:
- Character name, voice profile, dialogue line, emotion, context

#### UI/UX Asset Prompts

Generate specifications for Unity UI Toolkit or AI image generation including:
- Element name, screen context, visual style
- States (normal, hover, pressed, disabled)
- Dimensions, anchor behavior, animation descriptions

### Phase 4: Assembly & Development

#### Project Initialization Checklist

- Unity version (recommend latest Unity 6 LTS)
- Render pipeline (URP for mobile/stylized, HDRP for high-fidelity, Built-in for 2D)
- Build settings, player settings (color space, scripting backend, API compatibility)
- Essential packages (Input System, Cinemachine, TextMeshPro, Addressables, Unity AI Assistant)
- Git LFS configuration for large assets

#### Development Order (Week-by-Week)

1. **Foundation** — Project setup, GameManager, event system, scene management, input config
2. **Core Gameplay** — Player controller, camera, core loop, basic enemies
3. **Content & Systems** — Level building, UI system, audio manager, save/load
4. **Polish & Feedback** — VFX/juice, progression, tutorial, settings
5. **Platform & Release** — Profiling, monetization, analytics, platform polish, submission

#### Script Architecture Patterns

- GameManager → Singleton or Service Locator
- Events → Observer Pattern (C# events + ScriptableObject Events)
- Save System → JSON serialization + encryption
- Object Pooling → Generic pool for bullets, enemies, VFX
- State Machine → Player states, game states, enemy AI
- Audio → Singleton with Audio Mixer Groups
- UI → UI Toolkit with MVVM or event binding
- Scene Loading → Addressables + async with progress
- Input → New Input System with Action Maps

#### Unity AI Assistant & MCP Integration

- Setup steps for Unity AI Assistant (Unity 6.3+)
- MCP server configuration for external IDE/agent control
- Example in-editor prompts for scene manipulation, scripting, profiling

### Phase 5: Quality & Deployment

#### Performance Budgets

|                    | Mobile    | PC        | Console   |
|--------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Target FPS         | 30/60     | 60/120    | 60        |
| Draw Calls         | < 100     | < 500     | < 300     |
| Triangles/frame    | < 100K    | < 2M      | < 1M      |
| Texture Memory     | < 150MB   | < 1GB     | < 512MB   |
| Build Size         | < 150MB   | < 2GB     | < 4GB     |

#### Testing Checklist

Core loop stability, UI responsiveness, save/load persistence, audio balance, memory leak checks, frame rate stability, input device coverage, edge cases (low battery, interruptions), accessibility, localization.

#### Store Submission Guide

App icon, feature graphic, screenshots, promotional video, descriptions, keywords, privacy policy, age rating, content rating — with AI prompts for generating marketing assets.
