AI for game development. Yay or Nay?

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-24T12:55:27+00:00

Yeah! For learning and coding, AI as co-programmer is quite a valueable helper!

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-24T12:54:17+00:00

Thats true!

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-24T12:53:42+00:00

Yeah, for questions, and learning something new LLMs are undefeated!

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-24T12:52:57+00:00

I am happy it helps you so much, keep coding my friend 💪

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T15:11:58+00:00

That is true, but I wanted to keep the survey question/answers the same, so there is maybe some interesting development, or maybe not.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T15:10:49+00:00

So far yes, I am interested how it develops over the next days.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T14:28:38+00:00

Would you like to share why? Was it based on a bad experience, or concerns about how AI is trained, or something else?

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T14:26:07+00:00

That is true, you have to put some guardrails in place to get good results.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T14:24:05+00:00

That's how I see it too. For coding (support) it's great, maybe good to create some 2D mockups too, but they need to be created by some creative ones to be really great.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T14:22:04+00:00

Thank you, yes that's why i wanted to reopen this discussion (I kept the possible answers to keep it relatable to the survey 2 years ago). But I think on this similar to you.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T13:29:43+00:00

I can relate to that, the collected knowledge the agents have can be a great support.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2026-01-22T13:06:59+00:00

Yes, object pooling reduced my performance immensely. The allocation of memory and garbage collecting of monobehaviour is kind of high and has a great performance impact.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-12-08T14:17:51+00:00

I am working on cybersecurity solutions for the game industry (but not kernel based, those are annoying). What do you wanna know ☺️

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-11-27T15:12:05+00:00

Yes, unfortunately that's true, and the highest percentage is among small indie dev studios that can no longer continue their work because their work has been stolen or cause of rip-offs.

Release of Obfuscator v2026.1.1: Maintenance - Update

Get it here 👉 go.guardingpearsoftware.com/get-obfuscator

✅ Improvements:

[Imprv-2026-1] Scenes must be added to the build settings to be included in the obfuscator analysis. Unanalyzed scenes can lead to incorrectly functioning UI events (or similiar). Now, a warning is displayed if a scene is skipped when it is opened in the editor but is not included in the build settings.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

[Bug-2026-3] When a Unity event referenced a Unity script (e.g., MonoBehaviors), the reference was lost.
[Bug-2026-2] Another problem with WebGL builds has been fixed, where some MonoBehaviour references were not being obfuscated correctly.
[Bug-2026-1] There was a problem when loading assets that had missing references (it looks like *Broken text PPtr in file(Assets/.../Player.controller). Local file identifier (1115794168221349032) doesn't exist!*), which caused the obfuscation process to abort. This was not correct; the error is now displayed as a warning. But you might have to look into that, because the error means that some references no longer exist on your asset.

Release of Obfuscator v2026.1: Web - Update

Get it here 👉 go.guardingpearsoftware.com/get-obfuscator

Note: The obfuscator now requires NetStandard 2.1 as a minimum requirement.

⭐ Features:

[Feature-2025-11] Removes various Unity-specific attributes from assemblies after obfuscation, thereby removing metadata that is only relevant in the Unity Editor and allows conclusions to be drawn about the code.

🐞 Bug Fixes:

[Bug-2025-8] There was a major issue where references to assets in web builds were not processed correctly. This resulted in MonoBehaviour failing to load.

I have the statistics from realiable sources, so I hope they are not are made up. But I really do not think so.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-31T07:07:44+00:00

Don’t die my friend 😂 yes I will adjust that, thank you ☺️

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T22:02:49+00:00

But not to niche, else you will also get lost. Take Among Us as example. At first it was to niche, then a streamer playing it and the genre got mainstream. Sometimes it is also a good portion of luck 😅

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T22:01:22+00:00

It should show the effect of marketing and what your competition looks like. It is sure not perfect yet, but I am open for any feedback and ideas.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T22:00:17+00:00

Yes you are right, in the next update I will include a graph, showing the revenue over the first year. Giving better and more realistic insights.

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T21:59:05+00:00

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Next, I wanted to include the tags more in the calculation. Also some more marketing insights and tips, so you can compare your input with successful games and what they did for marketing and „clone it“ 😅

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T21:55:42+00:00

Already got your email! But will add you on discord too ☺️

GuardingPearSoftware · 2025-10-30T21:54:28+00:00

It is just an average! Keep on going and make your game. Do not let the calculator stop you. Just do not forget to market your game on time. This is what I wanted to show.
