Inspiration of the project

I enjoy experimenting with new AI models, especially those that handle code generation and visual creation. I wanted to challenge myself by seeing how far I could push these tools together in a real project. That idea became Pokeween — a small, complete game built to demonstrate how smoothly AI can generate logic, visuals, and structure when guided properly. My goal was to combine both coding and art generation into one cohesive, playable experience powered entirely by AI.

What it does

Pokeween is a simple story-and-combat RPG that showcases how AI can produce clean logic, consistent visuals, and a functioning gameplay loop.
It includes:

Story scenes
Scene transitions
Character interactions
A turn-based battle system

The goal is not size, but demonstration of AI's capability to create both the logic and the visuals of a game through structured guidance.

How I built it

Since this was my first time creating a web-based game, I started by outlining the basic story flow and the kind of combat I wanted. I described these ideas to Kiro in plain language, and Kiro generated the core logic, scene structure, transitions, and combat cycle based on those descriptions.

All visuals were created using Gemini Nano Banana Pro, and I provided those PNG files to Kiro.
Kiro automatically:

Analyzed the assets
Mapped them into the project
Generated the necessary code structure
Wired the logic with clean transitions

Throughout development, I refined prompts, updated specs, and tested gameplay until everything behaved consistently.

Challenges I ran into

My biggest challenge was describing gameplay mechanics I had never built before.
Since I had very little experience with web game development, I often didn’t know exactly what logic was required.

Challenges included:

Explaining new mechanics clearly
Getting the right visuals for scenes
Ensuring consistent flow between story and combat
Understanding what features to ask Kiro for

Despite the difficulty, Kiro often generated cleaner logic than I initially expected, which helped the project progress faster.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

Building a complete, fully playable web game in only a few days
Creating my first-ever browser RPG
Successfully guiding AI tools to work together
Seeing visuals, story, and combat come together into a cohesive experience

What I learned

I learned that AI is extremely efficient when given clear instructions.
At first, I was worried that letting AI generate all the code might complicate the project, but Kiro made development smoother.
