I Let Tesana AI Build My Game From Start to Finish | AI Game Maker Stefan 3D AI 2026-08-29 | Tesana AI is an AI game maker that can handle game development in a loop, generate 2D and 3D assets, write code, and export playable Godot projects from a simple prompt.In this video I test Tesana AI from start to finish on several projects, starting with simple games and moving into bigger 3D games. I test its Loop Mode to see how far this AI agent can continue developing a game on its own and where it still needs human input.Tesana AI can write code, generate 2D and 3D assets, build scenes, test its own work and continue improving the project through Loop Mode. I also show how the generated games work and how they can be exported as normal Godot projects for further game development.If you're interested in AI game development, AI game makers, Godot game development or tools that can actually build playable games, this video shows what Tesana AI can currently do.🚀 Try Tesana AI: tesana.ai/?utm_source=stefan —🏆 Explore the Best 3D AI Tools on top3d.ai🦊 My 3D AI Course: learn3d.ai/3d-ai/tesana-2 Learn the complete process of turning AI-generated assets into production-ready 3D characters.—ALL games links:Witch Moon TD - tesana.ai/play/174fe8b6-4abc-496b-811e-10336e55a0a0Baby BH - tesana.ai/play/00aeafb9-a466-4266-bdf5-0d9929854e00Wobbly War - tesana.ai/play/679e8a3b-edf9-4d4c-ad39-f8c772ecf996Lucky Mak - tesana.ai/play/eb3f8a8d-f929-4245-8519-c80e503f08bbDuck Blitz - tesana.ai/play/571b91f2-f01b-4dc5-b1d9-5894cdc6f364—⏱️ Chapters00:00 Intro 🚀01:00 Why Tesana + how Loop Mode works02:55 First simple game06:40 Watching the agent iterate11:20 Bigger 3D projects17:00 Where it still needs a human21:30 Final thoughts + playable links—#TesanaAI #AIGameDevelopment #AIGameMaker #GodotEngine #GameDevelopment #AIGameDev #Godot #AIGameGeneratorContacts💬 Discord: discord.gg/am7nu68r9Z🐦 X: https://x.com/Stefan_3D_AI🔗 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/stefan-3d-ai

Nvidia Ardy: New Real-Time AI Animation (Tested in UE5) Stefan 3D AI 2026-07-29 | Nvidia shocked the industry with a crazy new open-source tool for AI animation: Ardy. Unlike previous tools that require heavy rendering, Ardy generates AI animations in real-time natively on consumer-grade GPUs. It features advanced kinematic-level controls where you simply click, and the character follows using generated movements. I tested Ardy locally and imported the results straight into Unreal Engine.

I Recreated The Backrooms | 3D AI Pipline Stefan 3D AI 2026-07-26 | Creating a cinematic film like The Backrooms with AI is not about typing a single magic prompt. It requires a professional pipeline. I used a strict workflow starting with a storyboard, transitioning to a 3D playblast (animated storyboard) to lock the cameras, and finishing with heavy post-processing to achieve a realistic look.
