AI tools for solo Godot devs

Solo devs have one scarce resource: hours. Here's a lean stack that covers code, art and audio without a big subscription bill. Coding tools need the most supervision: GDScript changed a lot in Godot 4, and models often mix in Godot 3 APIs. Tell your assistant which engine version you're on.

Scope first

AI speeds up production, but it doesn't fix an oversized design. Pick one core verb, build a 60-second loop, and make it feel good before you generate a single asset.
