How to make a multiplayer game with AI

Short answer: Get a fun single-player loop working first, then ask your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or an AI game maker) to add networking with a simple server: a Node.js WebSocket server or a hosted realtime service for browser games, or the built-in networking in Godot or Unity. Builders below shipped browser racers, a multiplayer shooter, a hometown MMORPG and a co-op hunting game this way, some in days and some over weeks with several agents at once. Test with friends early, keep the server authoritative so players cannot cheat, and watch hosting costs as player counts grow.

Get started in 3 steps

Prototype the game alone first; adding multiplayer to a loop that is not fun only multiplies the problems.
Ask the agent for a server-authoritative design (the server decides positions, hits and scores) and a small lobby or room code system.
Playtest with two or three friends on different networks before sharing widely, and set a hosting budget alert.
