Start here: making games with AI
A plain path from nothing to a playable web game to a portal submission, plus 18 tools that can help. Every link was checked on 2026-10-20.
About the tags: “Tested” means we have built something with the tool ourselves. We haven't yet, so every tool here is marked Untested. Descriptions come from each tool's own page.
The path
- Pick a web engine. Portals like Poki and CrazyGames run games in the browser, so choose something that builds for the web: Phaser or PixiJS for 2D, three.js for 3D, or Godot with a web export. See engines and frameworks.
- Give your AI assistant game skills. An AI coding assistant can write most of a small game. Skill packs and editor connectors help it follow your engine's rules. See AI agents and skills.
- Make it playable, then small. Get one fun loop working first. Then keep the download small and make sure it runs on phones; portals check both. Read one HTML5 build, many portals.
- Add art. Use placeholder shapes until the game is fun, then make or generate assets. See asset and art tools.
- Add the portal SDK. Each portal has its own SDK for ads and loading events. See portal SDKs.
- Choose portals and submit. Compare terms on Poki, CrazyGames, GameDistribution, YouTube Playables and itch.io, or read Poki vs CrazyGames vs GameDistribution, how to publish on Poki and how to publish on CrazyGames.
- Track every submission. Use the free Portal Launch Tracker, and read what other developers went through in Experiences.
