my advice to my fellow game developer friends:
ai is real. ai changes everything. ai is happening and nobody can stop it even of they wanted. which they don't. this is happening. like the rain; the rain doesn't ask us for permission or advice.
it's critical to abandon the false hope from politicians. they want it to happen too. they just want it to serve them and not you. only a complete idiot would listen to a politician.
don't waste time. the future is happening now. don't let the politicians ruin your life. embrace change or be irrelevant.
behind is a terrible place to be.
Indie devs... Feeling lost in a sea of indie games?
Your job is still the same: build a great game, then show people what makes it worth playing.
AI or hand-crafted, your audience is out there. Give them a reason to care.
AI game devs: players don’t owe us their trust.
They’ve had years of broken promises and broken launches. Their skepticism makes sense.
Make a game so good they can’t ignore it. Earn the trust.

remember: people will judge no matter what you do so you might as well do what you want
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the acclaimed designer behind Super Mario and Zelda, has explained why he believes generative AI won’t make human creativity obsolete.
"There will always be a role left for us to play."

Make stuff and apologize to nobody.
Like an artist does.
Your process is your process.
You dont owe anybody the time it takes for your own creations but yourself.
If youre worried you cant sell or make a living then who are you really making things for?

Every industry since the beginning of time has had a group of people at the top trying to gate keep the top.
Don't believe them when they say you don't belong.

I'm old enough to remember when 'C++ slop' was the battle cry of 'real' coders.
Then it was 'Unity slop' and 'Unreal slop' from those who thought hand-rolled engines were superior in every way.
Now it's AI slop.
People draw a line on the abstraction hierarchy below which they are happy to automate the tedium. The line just moved... that's all.
Skilled people will still make superior software. We have been inundated with low quality slop since the birth of digital distribution decades ago. It's nothing new.
99% of AI games will be crap.
But the top 1% are going to change the way you think about gaming forever... If you let them.
People refused to play games made by gamemaker... Now it's normalized...
People refused to play games with "art asset packs" Now it's normalized..
People refuse to play AI games...
Wait til the 2027 game of the year is made with AI.
Morals will disappear...
The most shocking part of this poll is how many more developers than players responded...
How many times do people have to be wrong about their "inside info" on when fable 5.5 is releasing before you realize they are all full of shit?
At an absolute loss for what I possibly could have done that even comes close to an automated trigger.. was working on 2 game dev projects. none have anything that is even in the realm of anything in the usage policy, and now im locked for 10 days?? @AnthropicAI
Shattered Rift, first round of visual work: the ship, planets, enemies and props now take real scene light, the HUD is down to 4 labels with a lead pip and damage arcs, and shake no longer moves your aim. missingpagestudios.com/games… #ShatteredRift #gamedev
Pip, the girl who draws Wick's map, has left a note at the door of every Wickmoor dungeon, read out in her own voice. At the great barrow: "I put a crown on the big barrow. If arrows come, duck." missingpagestudios.com/games… #TheEndOfMagic #gamedev
All 320 Deck Builder Football Wild Cards rebuilt as cause, reaction, effect, with real named players reacting and the effect shown on the snap. Plus 21 new SNES cutscenes. Internal review build. missingpagestudios.com/games… #DeckBuilderFootball #IndieGame
The number of people pretending to have inside info on anthropic and gpt continually vagueposting for views is laughable.
Deck Builder Football test build: ball carriers now hold the ball tucked under the arm. Officials, coaches, cheerleaders, the band, and the fans, security and groundskeeper in Wild Card scenes now match the players' style. missingpagestudios.com/games… #DeckBuilderFootball
