Nitrode Features
Canvas
Meet Nitrode Canvas — the "Figma for game dev." Drag-and-drop worlds, tweak mechanics in real time, and watch live previews update instantly. Nitrode Canvas replaces tangled file systems with an intuitive visual layer, so designers and engineers iterate side-by-side—no build waits, no hand-offs. From AI-generated level layouts to dragging in scenes, it's a fresh framework that makes creating games as interactive and delightful as playing them. Try it and feel the difference! 🚀
AI Assistant & Agent Mode
Nitrode AI Assistant is your on-demand co-dev:
Chat Mode
Need a nudge? The assistant maps out every step—design concepts, asset prep, code snippets—and checks your work as you go. It's like pairing with a senior engineer who never sleeps.
Agent Mode
Ready to really move fast? Just describe the game—"add walls", "spawn procedural dungeons"—and the assistant writes, integrates, and tests the feature in real time. Prompt, preview, play.
Whether you're learning the ropes or blitz-building a masterpiece, Nitrode AI adapts to your flow and keeps shipping effortless.
AI Asset Generation
One prompt, one world. Nitrode's AI Asset Generator turns simple text into fully realized terrains, architecture, props, and ambient details—instantly stitched together into a playable scene. Describe "a musty themed desert with old houses," hit generate, and watch the engine auto-spawn geometry, textures, lighting, and NPC layouts. From vast fantasy realms to cozy puzzle rooms, creating worlds is now as easy as telling their story. 🚀
Code Generation
Spot a glitch? Hit Command-K. Highlight the bug, and press command-K! Nitrode's instant code-gen pops up, diagnoses the exact frame, and drafts the fix—whether it's a physics tweak, dialogue timing, or shader hiccup. Approve, merge, and the scene reloads live. Micro-adjustments have never been this lightning-fast.
Built on Godot 4.3
