Hi everyone.
I'm a solo developer from Brazil and I built a survival RPG using ChatGPT as my main development partner while learning Unity during production.
I used ChatGPT mostly to help structure systems like:
– inventory architecture
– crafting benches
– survival mechanics (sleep, hunger, illness)
– shelter progression logic
– dialogue system with ScriptableObjects
– UI behavior and debugging workflows
Instead of generating the game automatically, I used it as a reasoning assistant while implementing the systems myself step by step.
The game focuses on managing characters inside a shelter and exploring dangerous areas outside to gather resources and survive another day.
Steam page (demo awaiting approval right now):

Would love to hear how other developers here are using ChatGPT in real production workflows.
