Intro to this Course

Hey everyone, welcome to this course on 3D Browser Game Development with AI and Cursor. I’m excited to have you here! First, I want to share the reason behind this course and why now is a great time to start.

Everyone loves games, and building your own dream game is something many people aspire to. But like app development, creating a full game requires a mix of skills. Some people are more creative, coming up with great stories and concept art, while others are more technical and have no trouble coding. As a solo developer, this can get tricky when you lack a specific skill— and that’s why many people struggle to complete their games.

This is where AI comes in. Using AI as an assistant to fill in the gaps makes game development more accessible than ever. For example, AI can generate models for your game or handle complex code like physics.

However, while AI can take on a lot, it’s still important to have basic knowledge in each area. AI won’t build your entire game for you, and as your project grows, you’ll run into challenges. That’s one reason this course exists—to help you build a solid foundation.

Another reason is "vibe coding", a term popularized by Andrej Karpathy. It’s about coding with the flow, using LLMs to build apps without overthinking perfection. The focus is on rapid iteration—building, testing, and improving often instead of getting stuck on making things flawless from the start. This approach has encouraged many people worldwide to experiment with simple game projects, and now it’s your turn to try.

Finally, I truly believe that building games strengthens your coding skills. I started with RPG Maker 2000 years ago, just learning and having fun, and that experience eventually led me to a career in software development. Eve n now, whenever I pick up a new language or tool, I test it by making a small game. It keeps learning fun and engaging.

This course won’t turn you into a pro overnight (though it might). It’s about starting something new, experimenting, and having fun with AI and game development. Whether this is your first step toward a career or just a weekend project with friends, you’ll gain valuable skills along the way.

I’ll cover the fundamentals of game development, particularly browser-based 3D games. This course is designed to give beginners a strong starting point. But it’s not just about game dev—we’ll also explore tools like Midjourney for generating images, Fala AI for creating 3D models, and Cursor to build our game. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at my workflow and how I build applications in general.

That’s the plan. We’ll use AI, embrace vibe coding, but also follow a structured, maintainable approach to build a simple browser game together. I’m happy you’re here, and I can’t wait to see what you create.

Let’s get started! 🚀
