Godot Survivors Template

A complete survivors-like arena game for Godot 4.7, built so your AI agent can turn it into your game.

The demo above is the template as it ships, with nothing added or changed.

CodePlate templates are written for coding agents such as Claude Code. Each one comes with a brief for the agent (AGENTS.md), step-by-step recipes and checks the agent runs after every change. We write the templates with Claude Code too. The placeholder art, sound and music come from our own scripts, which draw and synthesize them in code; no image, audio or music generation models were used.

What's inside

• "Moonlit Grove": a young witch holds out for 10 minutes against bats, slimes, skeletons, ghosts, treants and a Moss Golem boss.
• Weapons that fire themselves: 5 kinds (homing bolts, orbiting blades, an aura, thorn bursts, lightning strikes), each with 5 levels, and 7 passives.
• Level-up cards: pick 1 of 3 on every level-up, by click, tap or the 1/2/3 keys.
• A wave timeline: waves that grow in number and toughness, plus timed events and a boss.
• Feel: damage numbers, hit flashes, screen shake, smooth 30 Hz simulation with interpolated drawing, hundreds of enemies on screen with pooled sprites and effects.
• Controls: keyboard, gamepad, and touch (drag anywhere to move).
• Settings and credits: music and effects volume, fullscreen, reset records, and a credits page.
• Content as data: every weapon, passive, enemy and wave lives in JSON files, the easiest content for an agent to edit.
• Free to ship: original pixel art, sound effects and music.

For your agent

• AGENTS.md: the brief, with 12 step-by-step recipes (including weapon evolutions) and a full content reference.
• A deterministic simulation core with no nodes, and 28 headless checks covering every rule, content file and screen.
• A balance bot. It plays runs fast-forward, and the checks fail if it can't survive the early game or levels up too slowly.
• A screenshot tool that fast-forwards into a run, so the agent can see what it changed.

2. Install Godot 4.7.
3. Open the folder with your agent and say something like:

This is a survivors-like template. Read AGENTS.md, then let's make it mine: a robot in a scrapyard fighting rust bugs, with a magnet weapon that flings scrap.
