DAI 3.0 · LEARN BY SHIPPING

Build Playable Games with DAI

Start with a complete-game track, then use the Create Anything guides to add each custom DAI system without losing the playable loop.

Two ways to learn

Learn one DAI capability at a time: items, blocks, entities, weapons, physics, timelines, UI, modules, automation, worldgen and more.

Follow a production-style sequence from safe spawn through gameplay, recovery, multiplayer, migration, performance and polish.

Use short patterns only when you already understand where the system belongs in the larger game loop.

These are the flagship tutorials. Each track is designed to end in a genuinely playable game experience rather than a disconnected feature demo.

Personal Home → generated rooms → encounters → ten floors → extraction → migration-safe campaign.

Personal ships + shared planets + literal planetfall + modules + canonical timeline geography + environmental physics.

Trion → classes → weapons → projectiles → abilities → dummies → PvP/team-ready combat loop.

Persistent six-direction rooms → connector integrity → encounters → survival progression → safe frontier generation.

Pick one complete-game trackUse its milestones as the spine of the project.
Open Create Anything only when a milestone needs a new primitiveBuild that primitive, test it alone, then integrate it immediately.
Keep the game launchableEvery milestone must leave a valid spawn, checkpoint and resume path.
Test physical traversalDoors, sockets, water exits, stairs, drops and terrain matter as much as JSON state.
Add failure recovery earlyDeath/rejoin/void/loading failures are architecture, not end-of-project polish.
Add multiplayer ownership before content explosionPrivate and shared state must be explicit.
Add migrations before public releasesEvery terrain/room/ship fix after release needs a local upgrade path.
Polish last—but polish deeplyModels, HUD, audio, loading screens and cinematic FX amplify mechanics that are already correct.

Authored terrain, native creatures and RPG progression.

Large authored province plus directional weapon combat.

Owned persistent home/pet simulation and UI.

Vanilla-resource-compatible ability addon with optional future companion hooks.
