Cloud Build Tips

Write simple, specific prompts.

Creating a fishing game

Bad prompt

Make Fishermon but better

Better prompt

Create a simple fishing game with a giant island surrounded by water.

You can see fish swimming around in the water outside the island. 

Add an aimed fishing ability and if it lands on a fish, add it to my inventory 
with an epic animation.

Add a shop NPC in the center of the island that I can sell my fish to. 

Add a rod NPC next to them where I can buy a better rod. The better rods make
the fish I catch more rare. 

Add lots of sound effects and simple animations to make the game tactile. 

Adding a gameplay feature

Bad prompt

make combat better

Better prompt

Add a sword ability with a 0.5s cooldown. It does 20 damage to nearby players. 

Add a dash ability with a 4 second cooldown. 
Play a short trail effect as they dash and a cool sound effect.

They are invicible while dashing

Pick the right model for your needs.

Low quality models are cheap and fast, but they struggle with full game builds. Use stronger reasoning models for scripting and structured changes. Use visually strong models for map building and layout ideas. Experiment to find what works best for your use case!

High quality models are pretty good at most things!
