Gaming just witnessed its DeepSeek moment. Ten days ago at @consensus_hk, I predicted solo developers would build and operate online games via AI prompts within 1-3 years. It took just 6 days: nitter.gq/levelsio/status/189512… This is gaming's DeepSeek revolution. One person with zero game dev experience accomplished in days what traditionally required 5-10 professionals working for months. At AI's current trajectory, within a year we'll see solo creators launching games rivalling today's top-grossing mobile titles. The quality gap is evaporating. We're witnessing the democratisation of game development in real-time. The industry's new currency isn't technical expertise or expensive degrees—it's imagination, distribution savvy, and creative vision. If one novice can achieve this today, imagine what a nimble team of experienced creators will build tomorrow. The industry is coming full circle. Like the pioneering bedroom coders of the 80s, we're entering a renaissance of micro-studios creating groundbreaking experiences. This is an extinction-level event for bloated development structures, but the dawn of gaming's most innovative era yet. The future belongs to the fast, the creative, and the bold.

Holy shit, I think we might have a world's first! Someone attended a cosplay event dressed as a character that was fully designed by GenAI (Luna Blanc from @playgoatgaming built using our own AlphaAI).
