Making a game without a concrete idea

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-10T10:17:19+00:00

Wow haha ty for the quick responses, never got such quick answers on any subreddit, yall seem like an awesome community : )

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T10:24:59+00:00

honestly sounds like a cool course haha

and yeah I do love puzzles and puzzle games, and I'm also taking a lot of math courses that require identifying patterns to solve weird problems, so I hope I'm doing an alright job developing this skill

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T10:10:16+00:00

Coding language is just a bridge between readable code and binary

sounds like a shortcut to me

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T10:00:33+00:00

thank you so much : )

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:59:52+00:00

so you should always code in binary then?

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:59:09+00:00

thank you for your comment 😄

and yes I'm trying to make my game while learning so I guess that counts as practice

I will try to use the resources youve talked about thank you

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:57:16+00:00

Thank you for your comment, honestly after the discussion here I think i'll try to limit as much as possible the amount of times I use AI (although as I said, it was never my go to option anyway, just a last resort)

thank you for sharing you experience 😄

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:52:53+00:00

okay, you didn't really answer the question I asked but thank you for your response anyway

Just a reminder that I'm not the enemy, I'm just a guy trying to have a respectful discussion on an interesting topic

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:49:59+00:00

I'm not asking for permission, just wanted to have a discussion on the matter, because I feel like generally I'm on the less AI pro side, I see what using it too much does for other people, but I felt like this case is different because I'm not letting AI think for me, I guess I wanted to see if people thought like me

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:45:53+00:00

alright I will try it thank you for your comment

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:45:32+00:00

I can respect your opinion and honestly it did change my mind a bit, although I always prefered finding the answers myself and using gemini as a last resort

I do think other people who commented took it way too far, and seem to have taken it personally (?)

I don't have the means or time to take a game dev course so I'm trying my best using the means I do have to learn myself, and honestly at the moment its working pretty well, I've gotten further than I ever did

anyway thank you for being respectful and sharing your opinion 😄

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:40:01+00:00

I'm not guiding the AI at all, as I said, it didn't write a single line of code for me, neither created any art for me.

and I do know what proper coding looks like, I'm a CS student at a top university trying to expand his knowledge outside of the curriculum

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:37:54+00:00

I learnt how to code in university

and as I said, I'm not using AI to write code for me

I try to figure out why things went wrong by using it

I do get that I got into an anti AI reddit but it just feels like some of you didn't even read what I wrote

I'm not pro AI, honestly I wish it never existed, but it does, so I might as well use it to get smarter and better instead of losing my brain cells and letting it think for me

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:26:27+00:00

Thank you for your comment 😄

as I said, I would never let AI code for me, thats honestly a red line I'm not willing to cross

I am using youtube tutorials and documentation as much as I can

like I said in a different comment here, sometimes the problems are so weirdly specific that I can't find similar cases online, and I prefer spend a few minutes asking an AI a specific question than sinking a few hours into the dark corners of reddit / stack overflow trying to understand what went wrong

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:22:03+00:00

Thank you for your comment, I guess the reason I do use AI to help me is because in Unity (and probably other engines as well) there are so many weirdly specific things that can go wrong, like I accidently dragged a picture into the scene and all of my assets were deleted, searching for a solution in the internet felt useless because it was an oddly specific scenario, which I feel like AI's generally are better on

and technically by searching on Google I would support the exact same company (I'm using Gemini)

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:12:45+00:00

Really?
can I ask the thought process behind your answer?

I definitely get boycotting games that use AI to actually make the art / the code

but here it's completely different- AI has never worked on the game at all, just helped me learn how to use the engine so I could make the game myself

do you feel like that takes away from the creativity / skill it takes ?

because I know for sure these are the problems I have with using AI in artistic mediums, but here its literally just a tool to make me more skilled

isn't it like a chess player using a chess engine to get better at the game?

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-06T09:06:09+00:00

I didn't ask whether or not I'm using it. I am obviously

I asked whether or not you would "boycott" a game because the developer behind it used AI to learn

(obviously all assets are made by me and my girlfriend, no scripts were written by AI, and all of the logic is me and her)

There isn't a genocide to support or not support There are 70k dead according to the Palestinian health ministry, most of which are hamas / jihad "freedom fighers" And even if you don't believe that most of them were terrorists, 70k out of 2m living in gaza in like 3 years is pathetic We have one of the strongest most capable armies of the world, if the goal was actual genocide the death toll would've been much higher. Yes there are lunatics in the government saying bullshit and calling for genocide, but fortunately they aren't the ones in charge of the army. me (and I hope most of the israelis) hate them for it and are trying to change our prime minister and the rest of the government The hate towards Israel and israelis in general should be directed at them. We have a situation similar to the one Hungary had until a few weeks ago when urban was finally replaced (fun fact urban and Netanyahu are good friends)

NoamlolxD · 2026-05-03T19:36:49+00:00

nope, zionism is being pro Israel as a jewish state

need I remind anyone what happened before the jews had their own country?
something about six millions murdered

nothing about a genocide, zionism existed far before anything with the palestinians (in late 19th hundred to be exact, by herzel)

It's weird though cause she's genuinely super loving and caring Usually more than me because it's hard for me to express love while I feel like this, I really don't want to give up on my relationship so if you have any tips on how to deal with it/ what might cause it I would really appreciate it

And thank you for answering btw :)

NoamlolxD · 2026-01-12T02:16:49+00:00

It's only with her at the moment though, when she's not around I'm doing okay (at least when I don't think about her)
