The Aspiring Deva

This game is a small project I made as a fun experiment to have generative AI drive the core gameplay.

You can check out the video devlog here, and the written devlog here.

Setup

• The backend folder contains the Python FastAPI server.
• The frontend folder contains the Godot project.

Backend Setup

1. Open terminal, and head over to backend folder.
2. Create and activate python environment.
3. Install python packages using pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Duplicate .env.example and name the new one to .env.
5. In .env, fill in the value of OPENAI_API_KEY with your OpenAI's account API key.
6. Start the server using python main.py 🚀

Frontend Setup

1. Open the frontend folder in Godot.
2. Duplicate res://main/common/env/env_example.gd and name the new one env.gd
3. Change class name to class_name ENV in env.gd
4. Set BASE_URL to wherever you've deployed the server. If you have run it locally on your system, then set the value to http://127.0.0.1:8000
5. That's it, now run the game and have fun! 😀
