Could you build this?
No Creating a complete story-based indie platformer game requires dedicated game design, original narrative, bespoke art/animation assets, audio engineering, and game engine mechanics.
What it would actually take: Building a full narrative indie platformer requires game engines like Godot or Unity, complex level design, custom physics programming, original 2D/3D sprite and background art, dialogue trees, sound design, and rigorous QA. These disciplines involve artistic, storytelling, and specialized game engineering skills far outside AI coding assistant workflows.
