Hey everyone! [My previous post ](https://www.reddit.com/r/aigamedev/comments/1w9bkiw/gpt6_astra_built_this_postapocalyptic_game_scene/)unexpectedly got a lot of views and comments, so I decided to make a follow-up and share a bit more detail about the process.

Yes, that first game scene really was built in Codex using Astra + Blender MCP + Godot, just as I described, in about 10–12 hours. I started with a fairly large and detailed initial spec, then gave it a few additional hints and directions along the way.

I also use my own approach for starting AI projects — an automated project bootstrapper. It asks me about the task, target audience, goals, stack, and other project-specific details, then prepares the project environment in advance: files, documentation, folder structure, stack-specific setup, relevant skills, and so on.

But I’m not a game developer. I explore what AI can do in areas outside my main field of work (although yes, I do work in IT). So some aspects of game development are new to me or things I haven’t explored deeply yet — optimization nuances, model preparation, common conventions for behavior and mechanics, and so on.

The main thing I wanted to demonstrate is that with proper preparation and today’s models, it’s already possible to achieve some genuinely interesting results.

Yes, it burns through usage limits. Yes, a human can do certain things better. But even so, the latest updates feel like a significant step forward in what’s possible.

In this video, I show how the scene can be improved quite significantly in just a few more hours, again using essentially one main instruction, references, and a few additional directions during the process with Astra.

The stack is exactly the same: Codex + Blender MCP + Godot.

During this iteration, Astra worked on optimization and color grading, added some new objects, improved the details and overall composition, implemented object highlighting, and made a number of other improvements.
