How to prompt your way to an amazing racing game with Rosebud AI

Building a 3D car game with Rosebud AI is fast — but designing the right prompts is where your creativity shines. Here’s how to plan your prompts for the best results.

1. Choose Your Game Type

Before prompting, decide what kind of racing game you want.

• Style: Realistic sim or arcade fun?
  Example: “A futuristic hover-car race in a neon city.”
• Setting: Desert, space, post-apocalypse?
  Example: “Monster trucks racing through a canyon at sunset.”
• Mechanics: Time trial, drift combo, elimination, combat?
  Example: “Unlock new tracks after winning 3 drift challenges.”

2. Pick Your Visual Style

Your visual style sets the tone.

• Graphics: Realistic, low-poly, cel-shaded, pixel-art.
  Example: “Cel-shaded world with bold colors.”
• Cohesion: Keep cars, UI, and world in the same theme.
  Example: “All assets in neon cyberpunk style with glowing trails.”

3. Design the Cars

Define how your cars look and behave.

• Attributes: Speed, handling, drift, durability.
  Example: “Add 5 cars with unique speed and acceleration.”
• Backstory: Give them names or origins.
  Example: “GHOST – a prototype from ex-space marines.”
• Visuals: Describe materials and color.
  Example: “Carbon-fiber body with neon underglow.”

4. Define Game Mechanics

Now set the player experience.

• Modes: Time trial, drift challenge, elimination.
  Example: “Checkpoint race — finish under 3 minutes.”
• Progression: Unlock cars, tracks, or boosters.
  Example: “Earn coins to upgrade engine and tires.”
• Feedback: Add effects for speed or collisions.
  Example: “Camera shake at 300 mph with engine roar.”

5. Combine It All — Example Prompt

“Make a neon cyberpunk racing game with 5 futuristic vehicles. Include two modes: Time Trial and Drift Master. Unlock new tracks after every 3 wins. Multiplayer up to 8 players with leaderboards. Add glowing trails, metallic reflections, and engine roar increasing with speed.”

Why Prompt Design Matters

Good prompts = better games.
They reduce trial and error, make your visuals consistent, and turn you into a designer, not just a user.

Quick Prompt Tips:
✅ Be specific — use numbers, styles, and limits.
✅ Iterate — play, refine, re-prompt.
✅ Separate — cars, mechanics, visuals, then combine.
✅ Add story — names, lore, or humor give life to your world.
