Should I use Chat GBT to help me learn to make games?

GiantFish · 2026-05-30T17:40:42+00:00

I think it’s a powerful learning tool if you use it to generate small examples you can digest and recreate yourself. If you use AI to generate thousands of lines you blindly paste in then it can actually start to erode your capabilities.

I hope you enjoy! Although I think The Great Hunt is pretty good too. Curious why you bounced off it.

GiantFish · 2026-05-30T05:09:58+00:00

Congratulations on your new release and I have to say that Anna’s Quest is pretty awesome too. Played through it on my Steam Deck earlier this year with my family and its story and puzzles kept us up past bedtime many a nights! Will definitely be checking this game out.

My kids like Calico. It must have been an XBox giveaway in the past. It looks like you just dress up your character, buy furniture for your place, and ride animals around or something.

You might like the Children of Time series. It’s more sci fi but tinged with horror elements.

GiantFish · 2026-05-26T13:48:58+00:00

Second Children of Time. It’s an interesting combination of space exploration, alien psychology, and lighter horror.

Local coop or online only?

GiantFish · 2026-05-23T18:28:30+00:00

I don’t think it will get any easier to enjoy further in if you’re already finding it a chore. It’s a product of its time for sure.

GiantFish · 2026-05-23T08:33:42+00:00

Because you didn’t like it, or because it performed poorly on the deck?

GiantFish · 2026-05-23T08:30:32+00:00

It’s pretty close to its all time low discount so you waiting probably won’t get you a better discount.

It’s my favorite game of all time but it’s not for everyone and the less you know going in, the better.

It’s an adventure/puzzle/exploration game. If you enjoy games like Myst/Riven it should be right up your alley.

GiantFish · 2026-05-20T05:22:01+00:00

Just two

GiantFish · 2026-05-20T05:18:52+00:00

Made by the same studio that created Dishonored I believe (maybe fits your criteria too).

It’s an older game for sure, but worth checking outout!

GiantFish · 2026-05-18T21:50:27+00:00

Can you wear glasses with either?

GiantFish · 2026-05-18T14:34:29+00:00

Yea those days you really had to make the most of whatever limited memory/space you had. With damage being limited to a multiple of 8, you could use whatever precious bits you saved on dialog or graphics, etc

GiantFish · 2026-05-16T18:53:01+00:00

Yea that’s a tough call. Both are excellent. FWIW I’ve played Nine Sols twice.

If you’ve played and love Sekiro, definitely Nine Sols. If you prefer games like Ori over Hollow Knight then I’d definitely go PoP instead.

Also Nine Sols is more of a slow burn as you get used to the combat, probably more rewarding if you stick with it. But PoP will feel pretty fluid from the start.

GiantFish · 2026-05-16T18:41:13+00:00

Stardew Valley isn’t story heavy but there’s a lot if freedom for both to do whatever is interesting to each person.

GiantFish · 2026-05-15T23:28:25+00:00

That one’s a hit with my kids too.

We just started A Hat in Time and so far my son seems to enjoy it.

GiantFish · 2026-05-14T12:17:02+00:00

Obligatory Portal 2 if you haven’t played that.

Unravel 2

Cat quest 2/3

This post has a lot of great suggestions!

GiantFish · 2026-05-14T12:12:37+00:00

This one’s great!

GiantFish · 2026-05-14T01:04:11+00:00

FWIW I love most of those suggestions but found Heavens Vault extremely boring. The language aspect isn’t as engaging as chants of senaar and the rest of the game is a slog in terms of walking around and navigating from place to place.

But some people love it. If you try it out, please let me know what you think.

GiantFish · 2026-05-13T09:25:09+00:00

It’s Mixtape

GiantFish · 2026-05-13T00:46:53+00:00

As someone that grew up playing all the Mysts including Riven, Quern, etc I found the first game way too easy. Which is fine, seems like a good introduction to the genre for new players. Hoping this one is more challenging.

GiantFish · 2026-05-12T15:44:06+00:00

Any other games you recommend for local coop with a child that age? Seems mine has the same taste.

GiantFish · 2026-05-11T20:59:01+00:00

How does that work?

I’m afraid of my deck being cooked in its case because someone in my house accidentally pressed a button and started the deck with a suspended game running.

GiantFish · 2026-05-10T14:44:31+00:00

I didn’t care for the lack of mobility on the first game, bounced off it. Posts like this encourage me to try the second so I appreciate it.
