I Built a GAME OF KAREN with Genspark AI + GitHub (And Made Expensive Mistakes 😅)

What if your silliest, most chaotic game idea didn’t need a full studio, months of work, and a team of developers, artists and musicians to become real? 🤯🎮 In this video, I build GAME OF KAREN — a ridiculous Pygame platformer following a legendary hero on her quest to the manager. I combined an all-in-one AI workspace called Genspark with proper version control on GitHub — as if I were running an actual gaming studio full of human employees! Art department? Check. Narrative team? Check. Sound department? Check. Junior developer who occasionally ruins everything? Also check. 💀 I even got you freebies so you can follow up on your end! 👇 💵 Get 100 free credits on Genspark with my special link: https://www.genspark.ai/?utm_source=y... But here’s the catch: this was my first time using AI for absolutely everything, so I made a whole bunch of expensive mistakes — I wasted credits, I micromanaged, and I made sure to record all that mess so I can help you avoid it on your end! 💪😉 So this video is not just about building a funny prototype. It’s about learning how to manage AI talent with clear roles, proper instructions, credit savings, and a GitHub workflow with branches, commits and merges (yes, I will teach you how to do it step by step! 😀). So if you're curious to see my creative process from start to finish, stay tuned and watch until the very end! 📚 In this video you will learn: How to turn an idea into a software prototype with AI How to balance between AI-guided and manual workflows (saving lots of Genspark credits!!!) Why AI works better when it knows a lot about a little (not a little about a lot) How to avoid wasting credits on the wrong things How to generate consistent character assets for a game How to collaborate with AI on GitHub How to use GitHub branches, commits, pull, push, checkout and merge 🛠️ Tools used: Genspark AI (Claude, Gemini, ElevenLabs) Pygame GitHub WSL / Terminal Python 🔎 Resources & Helpful Links: ⭐ GAME OF KAREN code & project files on GitHub: https://github.com/MariyaSha/game_of_... ⭐ My Pygame tutorial:    • Create a Simple Video Game with Pygame - S...   ⭐ My WSL setup tutorial:    • My Go-To Python Setup! 🐍 WSL + Conda Minif...   ⏰ Timestamps ⏰ 01:30 Project Overview + Time vs Budget Tradeoff 03:01 Genspark Studio Setup + My Credit Consumption History 05:21 Narrative Department — AI Slides + AI Chat 08:19 Art Department — AI Image + Character Assets 10:26 Sound Department — AI Music + Audio Workflow 11:09 Development Department — AI Developer + GitHub Setup 13:10 Local GitHub Repo + Pygame Foundation 15:13 AI Developer Branch + First Prototype 18:14 Manual Refinement of Agent's Code 20:38 Git Merge + Final Integration 22:26 Audio Mistake Review 23:03 Play the Game! 🎮 💸 Expensive mistakes I made (so you don’t have to): 1️⃣ Mistake #1 — Poor resource management [04:06] 2️⃣ Mistake #2 — Natural language prompts [05:31] 3️⃣ Mistake #3 — Micromanaging insignificant design details [06:20] 4️⃣ Mistake #4 — Asset generation chaos [09:01] 5️⃣ Mistake #5 — Late audio integration [10:29] 6️⃣ Mistake #6 — Full code-base revisions [18:14] 💻 Example Git workflows from the video: 1. Download and connect to your remote repository: git clone [email protected]:MariyaSha/game_of_karen.git cd game_of_karen 2. Add new files to remote repository (after files are already saved locally): git add . git status git commit -m "added new files" git push origin main 3. Review the code Genspark added on its dedicated branch (run it only once): git fetch origin git checkout genspark_ai_developer 4. Review Genspark’s revisions (after you ran "git checkout genspark_ai_developer" once): git pull origin genspark_ai_developer 5. Make manual changes to Genspark’s code (after saving the changes locally): git add . git status git commit -m "refined game manually" git push origin genspark_ai_developer 6. Merge Genspark’s branch with the rest of the tree: git checkout main git merge genspark_ai_developer git push origin main 7. Game is ready! 😀 💌 Dear viewers 💌 If you end up cloning GAME OF KAREN and building your own version, please send it to me on social media — I really want to see what kind of beautiful nonsense you create with it!! 🤪 #python #ai #github #pygame #pythonprogramming #pythontutorial #gamedev #aiagents #artificialintelligence #coding #programming #genspark #Genspark #WorkWithGenspark
