Describe a piece.Play with it.
Type what your game needs and Arcade makes it with Meshy or Tripo: a full 3D model with real materials (colour, normal, roughness and metal maps), sized for a game and placed in your Godot scene. Characters get a skeleton and moves from the animation library.

Real worlds.Real games.
Tactical and extraction shooters, stealth, survival horror, RPGs and open worlds. Start from one sentence and Arcade builds it as a real Godot game, with rigged characters, real light and game pieces made with Meshy or Tripo.

Underthe hood.
Simple on the surface. Serious technology underneath, so what you make is real.
A game studio,in one window.
Arcade puts an agent, a story board, a world editor and a character studio around the Godot engine, so you shape the game in plain words and with your hands.
Piye Gamer
The game agent you talk to. Talk to shape the idea, Make to build it, and Bug hunt to have it play the game, find what's wrong and fix it.
- Pick the model it uses
- Undo this turn takes back a whole AI turn
The story board
Your chapters as cards you drag and write on, saved inside the game. Build this chapter hands a card to Piye.
Paint the land
Shape the world with your mouse, on land up to 4 km across. Start from an island, hills, a valley or flat ground.
- Raise, Lower, Smooth and Flatten
- Water, and six grounds to paint
- Scatter to dress the land
Place pieces
Drop pieces into the world and they stay on the ground. Turn them with the comma and full stop keys, and scatter many at once.
Character studio
Set a character's body, skeleton and moves, make it a hero or an enemy, and dress it.
The Godot editor, inside
The full Godot editor is built into Arcade's window, with undo and save, for the moments you want to go deeper.

Goodquestions.
When can I use Arcade?
Arcade is coming along with Windows: they launch together. In Piye, the Arcade button opens the waitlist: join, and tell us which kinds of game you want first. That's how we decide what Arcade builds first.
Which engine does it use?
Godot, the open-source engine indie studios ship real games with. Arcade drives it for you, and the full Godot editor is there when you want it.
Do I need to know Godot?
No. You shape the game by talking to Piye Gamer and with Arcade's own tools. The engine works underneath.
Is the art free to use?
Yes. The library's art is free to use, and its credits are written into each game for you.
What does it cost?
Piye Gamer runs on Piye credits, like the rest of Piye's AI.
