🎮 Game Design Swarm

Game Design Swarm is an AI-powered, collaborative multi-agent system that automatically generates a professional Game Design Document (GDD) tailored to your unique game ideas. This tool simplifies and accelerates the traditionally time-consuming process of game design, enabling both novice and experienced developers to conceptualize and pitch their ideas efficiently.

---

✨ How It Works

Game Design Swarm brings together four specialized agents, each focused on a key area of game development. These agents collaborate dynamically to generate a cohesive GDD that covers every major aspect of your game.

Think of them as your personal game design team, each handling a different focus:

🧙 Story Agent

• Focus: Narrative & World-Building
• Role: Craft compelling storylines, character arcs, and world-building to bring your game's universe to life.

🕹️ Gameplay Agent

• Focus: Mechanics & Systems
• Role: Design core gameplay loops, player progression, and game systems to create an engaging, balanced experience for players.

🎨 Visuals Agent

• Focus: Art Direction & Audio Design
• Role: Define the art style, visual direction, and sound design, ensuring the aesthetic complements the narrative and gameplay.

⚙️ Tech Agent

• Focus: Technical Architecture & Tools
• Role: Recommend the best game engine, tools, and platforms, while ensuring optimal performance and scalability.

🚀 Why Game Design Swarm?

Gone are the days of spending months on a game design document. With Game Design Swarm, you can generate a complete, professional GDD in no time, ready for prototyping, pitching, or even early production.

The tool is powered by OpenAI GPT-4 and features an intuitive Streamlit interface, allowing you to easily input your game ideas and watch as the agents collaborate in real-time. This streamlined process frees up your time to focus on the creative aspects of game development.

🧠 Real-Time AI Collaboration

Once you input your game concept, the agents begin working together, integrating their insights into a unified design. You’ll see how the agents interact and update each other’s work, ensuring consistency and cohesion across every element of the game.
