Welcome to Portal Gen8
We are thrilled to officially announce the Beta launch of our prompt-to-play 2D game engine!
Describe your game, pick a template, and generate a playable version that you can keep iterating on.
🔗 portalgaming.com/gen8
You created the game logic in Gen8. Now you need the art
Without attractive visuals, the game might never find its audience - and that's where Nexus comes in!
Here's exactly how to generate custom, original assets in Nexus to drop straight into your build 🧵👇
Step 2: Dial it in
Nexus isn't a black box, so you have total control:
▫️ Pick a specialized mode like Pixflux, Background Art or Sprite Pro
▫️ Choose your exact AI model, from PixelLab to Leonardo AI or Scenario
▫️ Route the job for the cheapest, best or fastest generation
Step 3: Export and play
Nexus generates your custom asset perfectly formatted (like a clean PNG) and ready to use. Drop it straight into your Gen8 build 🎮
You've just bypassed weeks of art production for a couple of free Shards! Start generating:

Game dev used to have two fatal bottlenecks: coding and art
Gen8 and Nexus just shattered both:
▫️ Gen8 handles the logic: prompt your game prototype and let the engine build the mechanics. Tweak them instantly in the Live Editor
▫️ Nexus handles the visuals: generate custom sprites, models, and animations on demand
Everything you need to build, iterate, and publish is right here 💡
You have FREE Shards in your account right now. Log in and use them today:

The barrier to entry for 2D game dev is officially gone with Gen8 and Nexus
Learning traditional game engines takes years. Gen8 takes ~3 minutes.
Here's how the loop just changed forever 🧵👇
The new loop is stupidly simple
1️⃣ Type a prompt
2️⃣ Let Gen8 generate the mechanics and environment
3️⃣ Tweak the physics and speed in the Live Editor until it feels right
Hit publish.
It's definitely time. It's time to start creating your game
You get 50 free Shards the second you log in. Prompt a game, break the physics, and drop it on the Discover tab.

Claim. Prompt. Publish
How long does it take to become a game dev? With Gen8, it takes ~ 3 mins ⏳
▫️ Step 1: Log in and claim your FREE Shards: portalgaming.com/gen8
▫️ Step 2: Drop a prompt into the engine
▫️ Step 3: Tweak it in the Live Editor
That's literally the entire loop. Stop scrolling through the timeline and start creating your own 2D game!
