I'm planning to do a podcast with a bunch of game devs that have embraced AI in their workflows and would like to share their side of the story on how tough it is even with using AI and what anti-AI folks are getting wrong. Reply to this post if you're interested in joining the conversation #gamedev

Must try if you have a Mac
FeelMyMac adds haptic feedback and sound to your cursor. It launches on @macpiphq, the free Mac app directory, on Nov 16: macpip.com/apps/feelmymac Did you know your trackpad could do this?

At this point I truly think @valvesoftware must remove AI disclosure from devs, there are some genuinely good efforts coming from use of AI. It's almost a huge shift in the industry. Let creativity thrive! Repost if you agree

Tell me this isn't absolutely mindblowing!?
I wanted to test Fable 5.2's quality with one-shot prompts without human feedback. Everything in this game is from scratch: models, sounds, textures. ~$550 at API pricing, ~2.7M output and 445M input tokens, heavily cached. Took 8 hours! Play it here: claude.ai/artifact/BGY1SztrA…

Built a game. Now what? I asked @PlaygamaCom’s Pavel about finding players, AI & real earnings. Watch on my channel: youtube.com/channel/UC7rPcca… Want a visibility boost? Submit your approved PlayGama build for consideration: forms.gle/E3TpRkfh7fqauVqy6

Absolutely agreed. The ones using AI understand this very well
Replying to @nikmlnkr
Vibe coding is not a one shot miracle, it is still real work. Testing will humble you fast. But yeah, years turning into months is INSANE.

Clean architecture from day 1 makes for a great foundation. One can apply the same principles of traditional coding to AI assisted workflows to get far better outputs than ever imagined
Replying to @nikmlnkr
In my next vibe-coded project, I’m going to try and approach it more like how I would manual coding. No more one-shotting and then having to clean up the mess afterwards.

Looks great, with performance optimizations this will actually be fun to play!
Replying to @nikmlnkr
100% agree. Thousands of prompts in this, and lots of gameplay testing. And lots more of both of those to come. circuitry.k2research.ca/

Even if one vibe codes their games, it's still going to take tons of iterations and weeks of manual testing and fixes. Not as easy as a one shot prompt, direction and sense of taste still needs time to develop. Only thing is that now what used to take years can be done in months or weeks
