AI prompts for game characters

Genie
By Avia Shavit, Product Lead, Genie LabsLast updated

Characters carry a live game: in events, offers, social and every screen in between. These eight prompts cover the work around a character once it's designed: the angles for handoff, the faces and poses for UI and marketing, putting them into scenes, and getting them ready for animation. All of them work best with characters you've set up in Genie and call with @.

What keeps characters on-model?

Three things, across every prompt here. Call the character with @ instead of describing it. Attach a clean reference on a plain background. And feed your best results back to the character, so the agent learns it better with every set you make.

A common order

Turnaround first, so every angle is locked. Then expressions and poses for UI and marketing. Then scenes for events and key art. Rig breakdown when the character heads to animation.
