Hoping this makes someone feel better because AI stuff is cool but gets fatiguing to see I think game dev social media/ai tech bros on twitter really paint a grim picture about the landscape with all these “look at my one shot opus 5.5 game!!” posts And I think a lot of passionate creative people in the game dev community get discouraged and heart broken about this But ultimately those who do really well and stand out in game dev are going to be the ones who iterate on ideas for months and build actual crazy tooling and workflows with the help of ai, and constantly learn a bunch of new skills adjacent to game design and agentic engineering now. AI never changed that requirement of hard work iteration, development cooperation, and learned skills, despite what these one shot sloppers would have you believe. The skills required now are just shifting , and it doesn’t mean your old skills as a coder artist or designer aren’t valid , they’re just a nice head start and advantage for you into learning what everyone will be required to learn in the coming months and years
