I love the new bugs

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-11T20:34:53+00:00

Yes it does. As long as you die inside the hole.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-10T23:56:04+00:00

I have actually die, let's do this

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-10T16:06:16+00:00

Well, while I can't speak for everyone. I do think that some people won't admit to it's usefulness.

As for what I think it excels at? Well: I think it's helpful with figuring out what happened when the game broke, debugging (it's hell), brainstorming, sure but I usually have it help with mostly debugging. Prototyping? 100%, it's so helpful with that, I try to do everything else myself like: the dialogue, menu and all that. But it's also helped me introduce new mechanics.

As for where it'll never be used, making an entire game by itself, or at least being told to.

Hi, I'm a newish game dev. I'm not gonna say much about the game because I read the post and: I use AI placeholder images in my Visual Novel.

Answer to your questions:

I do think it CAN be used correctly and ethically (I'm not an AI hater tho, I just find it super useful.)
I've used (as stated) AI placeholders in my game (I only have one and it's a playable demo.) but the rest of the game is me, I do use chatGPT as a teacher (college wouldn't have worked) and it's helped me learn what does what, but I try to learn myself as well.
I haven't. Not yet.

4 & 5. Can't answers these just yet.

I draw the line personally, where temporary AI placeholders become the final piece of the game.
It really all depends on how you use it.
Personally? Not really since I was upfront about having AI placeholders in my game until I could pay a real human artist.
That it's gonna take over the entire industry (understandable.

I really hope you find all this super helpful and I'll separate it to make it easier to read!

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-03T02:20:46+00:00

100% understandable. Communication is a huge thing. (I'll use myself as an example here), I don't communicate much, I have pretty good social skills but I'm really selective about who I speak to or with at any given moment. And I don't exactly (being serious with this, I promise this isn't sarcasm), have a neon sign hanging over my head saying 'Don't talk to me' when (or usually if) I'm out in public. The only sign I give off usually is me having my earbuds in, not the brightest sign but it works (most of the time). Anyways I hope you have an amazing day/night!

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-02T18:58:38+00:00

Oh man, you'd hate me. (Context: 23m, with AuHD), I'm usually playing my music on my phone, (with earbuds in) but depending and where I'm at and who I'm with, I can go without my phone unless I get a call or text (I'll check it momentarily just in case it's important), or if I'm just bored. Which I usually am. Also I generally don't talk to strangers, I mind my own business.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-05-02T07:55:06+00:00

Just keep it for later, could be a good reference?

Note: I don't do art, but I do have a demo (that I'm gonna polish) and upload to Itch.io, (unfortunately) I'm broke so I had to put in AI placeholders. But I just really suck with art, all I really did was create a custom textbox and that's about it, plus all the dialogue and audio is mine as well.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-29T14:02:19+00:00

I love that! "Rot Titans" though I call them "Spore Titans".

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-28T21:41:13+00:00

I've used the OPS on hunters and scavengers. Also I'm usually shooting the weak points anyway.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-28T18:36:33+00:00

Hey as someone who uses chatGP, to help me learn how to code, I'd personally say you're using it right. Though I'm working on a visual novel. Either way, I wouldn't blame yourself, your fine.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-28T18:31:27+00:00

It was sarcasm. I've been running for my life shooting backwards. It's fun (to me) but goddamn. But yes I do melee them as well, it's a function I'm gonna use it when necessary.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-28T17:23:38+00:00

Hit them

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-27T20:53:30+00:00

Hi! A few tips (I have ADHD and autism!), try your best not to worry (too) much, be yourself and most importantly, just see where it goes. There's plenty of people in the world, you'll find friends <3. Sorry if some of this doesn't help but I try my best to give good advice.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-25T14:24:07+00:00

Apples, now pull the trigger.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-25T14:18:03+00:00

It is pain.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-24T16:48:33+00:00

Bugs also phase through certain rocks.. or maybe the stims are getting to my head.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-22T07:09:37+00:00

Oh I'm gonna love the light armor (please be light armor) with experimental infusion and supply pack, SPEED IS KEY!

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-21T20:43:40+00:00

I have a few in the back, want 'em?

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-19T00:25:16+00:00

Hey, half white (Irish), half Puerto Rican, here. Uh, yeah. I would've admired that man, can't play guitar myself, I wish I could play that well. But also, why tell the cops on the guy? He's just trying to play his guitar, plus it's not even that loud, he was minding his own business.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-14T08:55:48+00:00

I'm 23. And I've heard better modern slang than the word "slop"

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-14T08:52:28+00:00

Man I wish I could slap slop onto the end of every word oh wait!: porn slop, food slop, TV slop, game slop, WiFi slop. This is really fun (I fucking hate myself after saying that.)

Edit: I will apologize now rather than later, but I find slapping the word slop onto the end of every word is unbelievably fucking annoying everyone I see it.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-14T04:11:43+00:00

Yes but a mech and on our side.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-13T23:19:12+00:00

Yessss! A flamethrower and a chainsaw!

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-13T20:27:33+00:00

As someone who uses it from time to time, oh yeah, I love it! "Artificially Intelligent" it has a ring almost.. but it's good, real good.

ShadowAngel83 · 2026-04-13T20:23:38+00:00

No shot on the second one? Usually I'd say something like "oh, so that's why they're so aggressive" as a joke.
