here’s how to build an ori-style platformer with gpt image 2.5 + tripo + claude opus 5.5...

playable on desktop and mobile

the trick is “make it exist first, then make it good”, there’s a smart way to set it up:

• step 1: mock up the mood in gpt image 2.5: night storm, piers, wrecks, one glowing boss
• step 2: turn the mockups into 3d models with tripo p2: the giant, the ships, the piers, the buoys
• step 3: clean the models up in blender: scale, pivots, low poly so they run on mobile
• step 4: make the hero a 2d sprite (run, jump, attack) and drop it into the 3d world
• step 5: have opus 5.5 write the game: movement, jumps, camera, rain, water
• step 6: build the boss around one readable rule: the giant’s light shows where its fist will land
• step 7: add sfx and music from elevenlabs
• step 8: deploy to vercel and send the link

ship an ugly version that works before you polish anything
