Assets are very hard to produce and largely unsolved by AI at the moment.

This is definitely correct. I had a dream about a new video game the other day, woke up and Gemini one-shotted the game, but the characters are janky as hell because it has made them from whole cloth.

What it should have been willing to do is go off and look for free external assets on the Web that it could download and integrate.

There's AI based 3d asset generation tools around. For example https://www.meshy.ai/ https://hyper3d.ai/ https://www.sloyd.ai/

Today I learned all you need is some random 3d assets to solve for 'games need assets' problem.
