🚀 Introduction
What if I told you that you could build a 3D mobile game without writing a single line of code? Sounds impossible, right? But thanks to the power of ChatGPT, AI tools, and some clever platforms, it’s now super easy to develop games even as a complete beginner.
In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how I created a basic 3D mobile game using only ChatGPT and free tools, and how you can do it too — in under 2 hours!
📱 Why 3D Mobile Games with ChatGPT?
No programming skills required
No expensive software
No Unity or Unreal Engine needed (unless you want it)
Everything AI-assisted and cloud-based
Great for solo creators and indie devs
Perfect for Android or iOS
🛠️ Tools I Used
Tool Purpose
ChatGPT-4 For generating code, ideas, and logic
Spline / Vectary For designing 3D assets (free versions available)
GDevelop / Buildbox No-code game engines to build the game
PlayCanvas (optional) Browser-based 3D game builder
Piskel For icons and sprites (optional)
Figma UI design help
Expo Go To run the game on mobile easily
🔄 Step-by-Step: My 3D Game Development Process
1️⃣ Game Idea Generation
I asked ChatGPT:
“[Give me 5 creative 3D mobile game ideas ](
)for beginners that can be made without coding.”
I picked one:
🪐 “A 3D ball-rolling game in space where the user avoids asteroids and collects energy cells.”
2️⃣ Asset Generation
Then I asked:
“Generate 3D object ideas for my space-themed ball game. Include a space ball, asteroid, and power cell.”
Using Spline and Vectary, I created simple 3D shapes as models.
3️⃣ Game Logic with ChatGPT
I gave ChatGPT this prompt:
“Write simple logic in GDevelop to move a ball left/right with touch and detect collision with asteroids.”
It returned a working no-code logic plan I implemented directly!
4️⃣ Level Design
ChatGPT helped me brainstorm obstacles, difficulty scaling, and even suggested background music.
5️⃣ Testing on Mobile
Using Expo Go or Buildbox’s export option, I played the game right on my Android device — no need to install anything heavy.
