Oreshkin credits AI tools with 15 game prototypes in weeks

Kirill Oreshkin said in a LinkedIn post captured Oct. 18 that AI tools helped him create about 15 game prototypes in a couple of weeks.

The claim matters because Oreshkin said game-design iteration can shrink sharply: “What used to take a month takes a day.”

Oreshkin described starting with Astra, an AI tool he said he bought, getting poor results from a single prompt, then moving to Godot, an open-source game engine. He later said he worked with Unity and Unreal, two other game engines, added Blender, a 3D creation tool, and used services including Tripo, an AI 3D asset-generation service.

“No, this isn't "I made GTA in one prompt" - that's nonsense,” Oreshkin wrote. “One prompt gets you a rough shell. Then you live through another 1000 prompts.”

His core point was that AI may be more useful for prototyping and game design than for instantly producing finished games. He wrote that micro-teams of 2-5 people can now attempt projects that previously looked out of reach, but only when their workflow is built around AI.

The discussion under the post was more cautious. Paolo Abela, commenting on LinkedIn, said AI can help with small single-player games, but live-service games still require architecture, maintainability and production judgment. Alex Misarins wrote that it took “40-50 prompts” to polish a small feature for a free-to-play mobile game, calling “Zelda with 1 prompt” claims “BS.”

Oreshkin did not identify a shipped game, disclose the prototype concepts or provide independent evidence of production quality.
