Hey all!

I’m looking for feedback on Grimstep, a 2D pixel-art tactical roguelite I’ve been building for iOS in Godot over the last few months.

The game is portrait-first and touch-only. Runs are built around small tactical boards, telegraphed enemy attacks, hero abilities, relic synergies, and trying to survive escalating floors without the game turning into a spreadsheet. The design goal is something that feels readable and quick on a phone, but still has real positioning decisions each turn.

The part that may be most relevant to this sub: I’ve been using Claude and Codex throughout development, not just for code, but for the asset pipeline too.

For the artwork, I built an AI-assisted art pipeline with Opus and Fable using mostly Python tools plus a few third-party utilities. The pipeline starts from an art-style spec, then uses AI-controlled tools/APIs to create pixel-art assets, scan them against constraints, and iterate on them. Once the style is defined, it can produce assets from descriptions or reference images, while still checking things like palette, format, and consistency before I bring them into the game.

The video shows the current build, including gameplay and the intro cinematic. I also included a few stills from the art pipeline.

I opened a small iOS TestFlight beta with 50 seats for now. If more people are interested, I can expand it. Mostly, I’m looking for feedback on the gameplay and artwork. It’s still rough, but I’m at the point where I want to improve what’s there rather than keep adding new features.

I’m also turning the art workflow into a small studio tool that I want to put on GitHub once it’s cleaned up. The goal is to include the prompts, constraints, validation checks, and workflow notes so other people can use or adapt it.

(The video did not post, so re-posting)
