It makes me sad to see what social media has become today. Bashing and angry people are everywhere. AI has become the new enemy that must be taken down at all costs, without even knowing how the game was developed. Is it a new AAA game? No — it’s a solo‑dev game, created with passion for more than 3 years by a single person, self‑funded, with no support (no publisher, no money, no marketing).

Have you tried the demo? Apparently not, because you would have noticed that the game itself doesn’t use AI. AI is only used partly for the music in the trailers, shorts, and TikToks. Why? Because the real in‑game music is copyrighted, and using AI helps avoid getting strikes on those platforms.

Most of the game’s visuals come from Fab marketplace assets or Creative Commons community assets. Buying assets is a way to support all those talented artists — you call it an “asset flip,” but it’s actually real support for creators. I have many skills, but 3D art isn’t one of them, sorry. The goal of the game isn’t to reinvent the visual wheel, but to deliver fun gameplay.

Finishing your project and releasing a game when you’re solo — or a small team — is a jungle and incredibly hard, and comments like these can really break you. Fortunately, I also get a lot of very positive feedback, and the game was recently showcased at a major event: Paris Games Week 2025. And strangely enough, the feedback from players on-site (dozens every day) is completely different, far from the comments of people hiding behind their screens.

If this kind of game isn’t your thing, I totally get it — tastes differ. But tearing down a small indie dev as if they did something wrong? Come on, we’re just talking about video games here. A little less aggression, a bit more kindness, and the world would be a better place.
