TL;DR of the article, generated automatically.

The guide argues that AI can now turn a short prompt into a small playable browser game, but getting one live with prizes, payments or a store listing is still engineering work.

  • What AI does well: First playable versions of small browser games, placeholder art and code-generated music. One writer built a playable browser shooter with cutscenes in about 10 days, with tool costs put at about $15, "rounding very generously".
  • Where it breaks: Game logic over long sessions, consistent art and animation, multiplayer, mid-range Android phones, and scores or payments that can be changed in the browser.
  • Platform rules: Steam asks for an AI content disclosure, Google Play requires in-app reporting for AI content generated while the game runs, and Apple rejects copycats and spam.

Playable on your phone is not the same as live in front of customers.
