Guides to making games with AI
Updated · Türkçe
Quick answer
Everything here starts from a real game you can open, and says what Teleplay can't do as well as what it can. Pick the kind of game you have in mind, the occasion you are making it for, or a classic genre to learn from. Teleplay is an AI game maker: describe a game in one sentence and play it in about half an hour, alone or with friends, in 2D, with 3D (beta) open to testers first.

Questions
Where should a beginner start?
With the smallest complete game you would enjoy. A dodge game or a snake game shows you within minutes how a sentence turns into a game.
How do you keep these guides accurate?
Prices, player counts and what is in beta come from the one source the rest of the site reads, so a change there changes them here. The games shown are real and playable, and comparisons say the day their sources were read.
Do I need to pay to read or play?
No. Reading is open to everyone and so is playing any public game. The plans page says what making a game takes.
Why isn't my favorite genre here?
A genre gets a page only when real games on the site can show it. As the catalog grows, so does this list.
