Meet Smelty · Your in-editor AI assistant
Your game. A helping hand at every step.
Some days you want to learn how it works. Some days you want to see your idea running. Smelty helps with both, right inside your Iron Grid project. You set the direction and decide what stays.
Help me bring it to life.
Describe what you have in mind. Ask Smelty to build scenes and gameplay in your project, then playtest and shape the result together.

Work through it with me.
Adjust the controls, investigate a bug, or understand some code. Move between hands-on work and assistance as your confidence grows.

01 / Learn by making
Understand the next step.
Then try it yourself.
Ask Smelty to explain a tool, break down a mechanic, or guide you through a change. Connect what you learn to something you can actually play.
Start with your question.
“What is a Stage?” or “How do I make the camera follow my player?” No technical vocabulary required.
Request a walkthrough.
Ask for one step at a time, an explanation of the code, or the reason behind a setting.
See the result in Play.
Make the change, test it, and ask a follow-up. Each small experiment builds your understanding.
02 / Create from your ideas
Describe a moment
you want to play.
Ask Smelty to help build a scene, write gameplay, or change your project. Begin with one mechanic, review the plan, and test the result before adding more.
An example request for Smelty
“Help me make a small 2D platformer with left and right movement, jumping, a few platforms, and an exit. Explain your plan before building the first level.”
Once jumping feels good, ask for a collectible or a moving platform.

Before you begin
Room to experiment.
Clear expectations.
Smelty is an AI assistant in an actively developed alpha. Results need review and playtesting; a request does not guarantee a finished game. Save often and build in small steps.
Included usage
Free accounts include Smelty Tokens. Your account shows your available balance and next refill. Connected assistance requires internet access.
You stay in control
Choose the idea, review changes, and try the controls. The regular editor, visual tools, and scripting remain available for your own work.
