My philosophy is to make the best game I can as a solo dev. The best is definitely not "one-shot it with AI". The best is definitely not "refuse to use any AI".

When it comes to copying games like this, blaming AI misses the point. A simple, repetitive concept can be copied in a couple of days without AI. If that’s your game, consider saving the reveal for release. Or build more depth, systems, and content that make it harder to copy.
The age of teasing stuff on twitter is over. Release or shut up. this is really sad for indie devs that enjoyed showing progress on twt

I don't see a world where creative people will release anything ever again. people steal it the moment you publish it. if you try to turn an idea into a digital product in the hope to get anything back, stop, this game is over. barrier of entry became $20 subscription. your competition is basically anyone motivated enough to put in prompts for a day and steal the early mover advantage. pivot to hardware/robotics where for the entry you need to put money and skills on the table that isn't yet solved by clankers. that's why frontier labs pay you hundreds of thousands of dollar for your small business company's data btw, because they want to automate digital business as a whole, not only their digital product. I wonder how this will turn out for people that still have the distribution advantage (like many followers), if this will fade away as well or becomes the moat. And I wonder how this will turn out for people with no reach at all - will they just don't try any idea anymore, just give up? That would be catastrophic for our progress in society

Is this why William Montgomery hasn't been on kill tony recently?
A killer is being resentenced after an AI video of his dead victim forgiving him was played in court The victim’s sister wrote the script, and said they “probably could have been friends”

Motherf*cker that’s called Minecraft
Claude Opus 5.5 basically rebuilt Terraria in 3D. 8 days. 346K lines of C#. 3,369 items. 313 enemies & bosses. Custom engine. No Unity. No Godot. And the wildest part? The creator says they wrote none of the code. AI game development is getting absurd.

Palantir is using Jira to kill people. Amazing.
Probably the most current look at Palantir’s maven smart system software. Here’s the DoW’s Chief AI officer showing how it works:

EA has laid off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams following its "record shattering" launch for Battlefield 6, which was the best-selling game of 2025 in the United States. bit.ly/3OQgc9l

I know this is going to sound dark. But based on the resumes and portfolios I see, 90% of the people who want to work in game dev are not good enough to work in game dev.
Hit me with the harshest reality about game dev

You'd think with the amount of hate Larian is getting at the moment, that the Game of The Year didn't use GenAi or something 🤔

one of my most deeply held beliefs about my profession is that it was a mistake to teach words like “optimization” to people who have had their brains surgically removed
can we take optimization seriously again?

No one wants to hear the truth I guess.
Prepackaged engines will never. Make your own, it’s the only way forward.
