"Computah, make me a clone of a 20-year-old game, but worse..."

3:38 "not a demo, not a prototype, a finished game..." even the prompt is ai 😭

wow, never came into my mind "AI essentially a slot machine", no wonder they addicted to AI

Recently started my game dev journey and I can’t imagine actually desiring to churn out an entire game with a prompt. 99% of the enjoyment for me is the process of dreaming, planning, attempting, failing, trying again, succeeding, repeat. It’s a journey. And I know it’ll be many years before my game is done. But I love that.

They broke 1 rule of the AI hype. Do NOT tell the slop price!

"looks like an early Call Of Duty 2 kid-style game"

Didn’t cook em but made it more accessible which means more slop which means less discoverability.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Also no

There's a hundreds of ai manga and comic dropping everyday, yet I can't see my self reading even a chapter of one of them, but I keep subscribed to Manga apps and whiting for my favorite authors to drop something, same with games I check steam everyday for new game , a game made by actual human with an intentional design, carefully crafted experience.

They forgot the most important line in their prompts... “make it not suck and make me millions”, shake my head smh

Don't mind me over here just imagining all the things I would do with $5000 that are not throwing it into the AI slot machine of doom.

You make the key point - these generic games can be made in a much better/ more stable/expandable way using assets (bought or free).  The 'shortcut' to avoid starting from scratch was already there.

Great video. I think the biggest limitation of current LLMs is their context window. They can’t even fit a small project (like the examples from the video) into their memory in its entirety, so they have to work with smaller, separate segments, where they naturally omit important references (which are essential across game systems), and then subsequently correct these gaps one by one at great cost, all while creating new gaps elsewhere. That’s why these guys paid $5,000 in tokens for a game that literally no one would play even for free.

Gamedevs are not cooked ; indie golden age is upon us

Guys! Wishlist his game. Helps this man succeed

Games are so big and complex, that even with an AI assistant Youre still cooked 😂😂

Also those people saying "If I wanted to have a game made by an AI I would just generate it myself" which apparently means they'd spend 4 GTA6 deluxe editions on one broken game with generic level design and characters that look more like placeholders.

if that cost over $800 in AI tokens, then no, game devs are not even close to being cooked.

Yes, I think the gap will only increase. Before AI slop, we already had all those asset-flip games, but how many of them actually found success? I can’t recall a single one.

I think it will be the same with AI tools. They’ll help experienced developers make games faster and more efficiently, while others will just burn money and flood the market with games nobody wants.
