The author shares a process of significantly upgrading game visuals by providing more specific prompts to AI after the core gameplay loop was built. The prompt detailed requirements for vegetation, rocks, road surfaces, car paint response, sky with real clouds, ocean waves, lighting and post-processing stacks (tonemapping, exposure, bloom, etc.), atmospheric perspective, particle effects (smoke, tire marks, dust, sea spray), and shadow systems. The method advocates building the lighting and post-stack first to ensure all subsequent adjustments happen under final light.
