Gemini 4 Argon has proven to be outright unusable for real code work in my codebases. It aggressively hallucinates about how systems work.

Day 18. Building the game I've dreamed of for 15 years with AI. I've learned how to build proper levels with AI. I take the design and the architecture, and AI helps me put it all together and check the balance. I made the first level of my game almost entirely by hand. I wanted to understand how it works and what I like, from how big the trees should be to how the textures tile. After a day digging around in the terrain tools it all made sense, and I could see how much of it could be automated by painting zones. Claude helped me a lot with the tileable textures. Matching the colors took a ton of iterations, and that was the hardest part of the whole level. For level two I took a different route. I built myself a simple HTML planner with a logical map of the level, where I place everything and design the layout. Painting a level and making it fun to play are two different jobs, so I kept the design for myself. We even made automated tests with Claude: 2D simulations that show which routes a player takes and how hard the level is. They're rough, but they give a real sense of how the level plays. Once the plan was ready, I handed everything to Claude, and 3-4 hours later I had a working level. It reused the patterns from my first level, scattered objects unevenly so nothing looks placed on a grid, and generated extra props whenever I asked. I showed it one example, it picked up what worked, and we turned that into a skill for the next levels. The video is a quick flight over level two, then how it got there, from my first sketch to the version I play now.
Day 17. Building the game, I've dreamed of for 15 years with AI. Dang.. this whole process is getting so much smoother. My first flying unit is in the game! The harpy took a little over a day, including the time I spent getting distracted along the way. One of the smoothest characters I've made so far. I used my existing workflows from concept to getting her into Unity, and tested GPT-6.1 Sol on this one. It worked beautifully. Also, if you're making game models, I really recommend Tripo P2.0 with Smart UV. The UV layouts are good enough that I can take them through Image Edit to make roughness maps or masks for emission. Having a clean layout makes those texture edits so much easier. For this quality of UVs, the only alternative I've found so far is unwrapping by hand. Smart UV saves me a lot of that work. Look at her in motion. I'm so happy with how she turned out. I'll make a separate video about this workflow too, including how it's getting faster as I refine it.
