You do not sign in to use Flockbay. A new install builds on a guest account.

Three separate things happen around this app, and only one of them asks you to sign in. Downloading, installing, opening, sending a message to Flockbay, Play, and the builder: no sign-in, no email address, no card. Sharing a play link, a Community profile, and the Steam page: you save your account, which is a free sign-in. Playing a game you have already built: nothing at all.

That third one matters more than it sounds. What you build is a Godot project in a folder on your own machine, and it becomes an ordinary desktop program. Anybody you hand that program to runs it without a Flockbay account, without our app installed, and without us being involved in any way.

So the sign-in covers exactly one part of this: putting your game in front of other people. Not the software, not your files, not the game, not the builder on your machine, and not the part of building that runs on hardware which is not yours. That part runs on a guest account, which Flockbay makes for you.

Flockbay writes the GDScript for your game through a model that runs over the network: the free Demo, which comes back each day, or your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, your own agent, or an API key. What it builds with, the library of ready-made objects and the world data the builder pulls in, comes from our servers, and those serve an account. So a new install gets one on first launch: a guest account, made by our server and tied to that install, with no email address and no password.

That is as close as this kind of tool gets to an AI game maker with no sign up. The work cannot be anonymous, because a free daily allowance has to belong to something. Here it belongs to the install, and nobody types an email address to get it.

Nothing stands in front of the first message. When the free usage for the day runs out, a card offers your own ChatGPT or Claude and says when the free usage comes back. It does not ask you to create a Flockbay account.

It is not where your game lives. Your projects sit in folders on your own disk, and Flockbay keeps no copy of them. The exception is one you choose: inviting a team member to a game keeps a copy of that game under your account so they can open it. That copy is for sharing, not a backup, so a lost laptop is still a lost game unless you kept your own copy.

It is not a licence to the engine. Godot is open source and free, and a copy of it ships inside the app. The account does not rent you a renderer.

It is not a seat either. There is no team plan, no per-seat pricing and no enterprise tier. One person, one account, one desktop app.

More on this: Refunds and cancelling

An email address, and not a card. Saving is free, and it is a sign-in in your browser: the app opens a tab, you create an account or sign in, and your projects and chats stay as they are. Save your account is in the account menu, and one card offers it after your first Play, with Not now beside it.

Building by hand is not the part that meters. Sculpting terrain, drawing a lake, setting the weather and placing buildings in a 3D project is you doing work on your own machine, and so is dragging out tile ground and placing sprites in a 2D one. What uses your AI is asking Flockbay for behaviour, because that is the part that leaves your computer.

So the objection has a short answer. You can install Flockbay, spend an evening on a game, and find out whether any of this suits you without signing in and without paying Flockbay anything.

People who need a tool that runs entirely on their own machine with nothing phoning out. That is a legitimate requirement, and this is not the tool for it. Godot on its own is free, open source, needs no account and needs no connection. It also expects you to write the code, which is the whole of the trade.

You can build, Play and use the builder without deciding anything at all. An email address shows up when you save your account, which you do to share. That is a smaller ask than most tools in this space make, and it is still an ask, which is why it belongs at the top of the page rather than buried in a footer.
