๐ 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, itโs now super easy to develop games even as a complete beginner.
In this post, Iโll 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 โ in under 2 hours!
๐ฑ 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
๐ ๏ธ 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
๐ Step-by-Step: My 3D Game Development Process
1๏ธโฃ Game Idea Generation
I asked ChatGPT:
โ[Give me 5 creative 3D mobile game ideas ](

)for beginners that can be made without coding.โ
I picked one:
๐ช โA 3D ball-rolling game in space where the user avoids asteroids and collects energy cells.โ
2๏ธโฃ Asset Generation
Then I asked:
โGenerate 3D object ideas for my space-themed ball game. Include a space ball, asteroid, and power cell.โ
Using Spline and Vectary, I created simple 3D shapes as models.
3๏ธโฃ Game Logic with ChatGPT
I gave ChatGPT this prompt:
โWrite simple logic in GDevelop to move a ball left/right with touch and detect collision with asteroids.โ
It returned a working no-code logic plan I implemented directly!
4๏ธโฃ Level Design
ChatGPT helped me brainstorm obstacles, difficulty scaling, and even suggested background music.
5๏ธโฃ Testing on Mobile
Using Expo Go or Buildboxโs export option, I played the game right on my Android device โ no need to install anything heavy.
๐ฎ Final Game Preview
A clean 3D ball game in space, running smoothly on mobile with responsive touch controls. Designed completely with AI help.
