Description
After Light is a 2.5D game that is built entirely in Codex using Astra, Unity Plugin, Blender MCP and my own AI Game Studio tool (which itself is built using Codex and Astra). What makes it stand out is the fact that we can create a unique and immersive 2.5D experience - where we combine pure 2D sprites with 3D models in Blender - without doing any manual asset creation at all. We also gamify education - to pass the demo you have to know some Linux admin skills.

Could you build this?
No Building a full 2.5D action-adventure game with custom 2D/3D sprite blending, WebGL/Unity physics pipelines, animations, and sound design requires specialized game development expertise beyond conversational code prompting.
What it would actually take: Building a playable 2.5D game requires a modern game engine (Unity or Godot compiled to WebAssembly/WebGL 2), custom 3D environment shaders that interact accurately with 2D billboarded or sprite-sheet characters, and an animation state machine. The team needs 3D modeling skills (Blender), technical art tooling for 2.5D parallax/lighting, and game design experience tuning collision detection, camera framing, and input latency on web runtimes.
