Context: I've been using agents (both Claude Code and Codex) for my daily work and for personal projects, but always in domains where I had some knowledge and I'm currently happy with them.
I tried using Claude Code to build an RPG game with Godot and GDScript, using free to use assets: a total failure :/
The game was supposed to be many implementation steps long but I asked Claude to first produce a one area demo, so I could test the assets and choose the one I liked. First it produced some garbage using the assets randomly. Then it tried to copy from an existing demo but it had not idea where a door or a path were and at a certain point it even admitted it with something like: "I can't design an usable and nice area: I either make it functional and ugly or I copy and adapt the existing demo but I will have no clue about what is what"
I've never even attempted to develop games before so I'm sure I don't even know the basic concepts, but this use case definitely didn't work for me.
Maybe it could generate the code of the game if I provided the full design?
