A shared workspace for game teams and AI

Build games with AI.
Keep the whole project in view.

Your teammates and AI work in one project. Its AI sees everyone’s progress, helps plan what’s next, and starts the work once you agree.

Making a game on your own? MiniGrove’s built-in expertise can help you complete it.

  • MiniGrove works on a cloud computer; a version that runs locally is coming soon and is on the product roadmap
  • Your code lives in your own GitHub repository and remains entirely yours; AI changes land on Task branches, and a team member confirms each merge into main
  • Works with Godot, Three.js, Phaser and other open-source engines you choose to install; Unity is not supported yet and is on the product roadmap
  • MiniGrove does not train models on your code or data

01 / COORDINATION

One AI sees the whole project.
And moves it forward.

Ask “What is everyone working on this week?” or “What should we do next?” Working alone, ask “Where did I leave off?” It reads the project’s tasks, conversations and code, answers from real progress, then proposes the next task. Once you confirm, it gets to work.

When the project moves, MiniGrove’s advisors also take a look on their own, and speak up only when something deserves attention. No new progress, no check.

Discussions and advice are read-only and never change the game. You decide when work starts. Advisors never mention or message anyone and speak at most once a day. They are on by default; a project owner can pause them.

01 · YOU ASK
L

How is everyone doing this week? What should we do next?

02 · AI CHECKS THE WHOLE PROJECT AND ANSWERS
Actual discussion reply: MiniGrove, the project’s cloud computer, lists progress from Lin, Weishan and the sound direction, then recommends settling the sound first
03 · AI SUGGESTS. YOU PRESS.
Actual suggested-task component for settling the sound direction, with Create Idea only, Create Task and start conversation, and Abandon Task creation

Actual discussion reply and suggested-task control with demo data; the question illustrates the flow.

02 / ADVISORS

Making a game alone,
with advisors beside you.

MiniGrove’s advisors look at your project from four angles: product, engineering, player experience and art. When the project moves, they take a look on their own and suggest something only when it deserves attention. Press Start work and the suggestion becomes a task.

For a thorough look, run a project checkup. It reads the main line and reports on repository health and project architecture: what deserves attention, why, and what to do first. Anything worth fixing becomes a task in one press.

Advice and checkups are read-only and never change the game. You decide when work starts. Advisors speak at most once a day and never mention anyone; they are on by default and the project owner can pause them. A member starts a checkup; it takes up to 30 minutes and uses the project computer’s AI allowance.

01 · WHEN THE PROJECT MOVES, AN ADVISOR SPEAKS UP
Actual advisor note: the product advisor suggests watching new players try the first-day exploration flow, with Start work, Dismiss and Put away
02 · PROJECT CHECKUP: WHAT, WHY, AND WHAT FIRST
Actual project checkup: repository health is heavy, with 6 uncompressed WAV files and 46 assets that look unused, each with a button to open a Card

Actual advisor note and project checkup with demo data.

03 / AT ONCE

Several AIs.
Working at once.

Each task has its own conversation and branch, so several AIs can work side by side. The board lays the whole project out: what is still an idea, what is in progress, what waits for your answer or review, and what is merged into main.

Drag an idea to In Progress and an AI starts on it. Anything that needs you appears under Action Required.

A trial project runs 3 AIs at once. Paid plans open soon.

04 / DECISIONS

Keep the decision.
Keep the reasoning.

AI suggests decisions worth keeping as you talk. Edit, confirm or defer them, so future work and collaboration can build on today’s choices.

In game production, decisions get lost as soon as the conversation ends. Keep the decision, reasoning and alternatives with the project: fewer detours, clear handoffs, and MiniGrove draws on these records in later answers and suggestions, understanding the project better over time.

01 · TELL AI WHAT TO REMEMBER
林

Focus the first version on exploration and building. Add resources next. Record this decision, why we chose it and the alternatives.

02 · CHECK THE DETAILS. YOU CONFIRM.
Actual record dialog: review and edit the decision, reasoning and options not chosen, then press Record
↓
After confirmation, keep the decision with the project

Return to the reasoning yourself, or share it with a teammate.

03 / SUBSCRIPTION Supported projects

ChatGPT subscription

In projects that support subscription connections, use your existing ChatGPT subscription allowance for production.

Available models and allowance depend on your subscription

Using your own key or subscription requires an eligible paid plan and remains subject to provider allowance, plan machine-hour limits and project support.

06 / GAME PRODUCTION

Game-making expertise.
Built into MiniGrove.

You do not need every specialist skill to start making a game. Built-in capabilities for gameplay design, character animation, asset production and testing help fill production gaps, so your team can focus on ideas and key decisions.

Gameplay design Animation & assets Testing & review

Character animation is one example: AI handles the character design, the frames and the in-game result, then you or a teammate review it.

ROMETD: FIRE AND BRICKS

A grunt’s walk cycle

AI designed the character and animated the continuous walk cycle.
