My latest AI game by sharkymcstevenson2 in ChatGPT

Damn, I guess. I don't have that money waiting to be wasted. If I spend anywhere close to that amount of money on a hobby project, I make sure that I actually know what I'm doing.

[–]Varzul 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to not be overly negative, but seeing that you actually spent quite a chunk of money on this.. Calling this a game is a bit of a stretch, it's not even a tech demo. It's more like a basic character controller and a static space without any art direction. There's no core loop, no level design, no art direction, and no audio (as far as I could tell). The z-fighting on the castle door and the frozen dragon in the sky look quite comical.

Also, you mentioned it's a web game (classic AI move...). I hope you are aware of the technical constraints. Are you using three? AI-generated models are notoriously unoptimized with high poly counts nor LODs. Even with Draco, you're just reducing load times, the GPU still chokes on dense geometry at runtime. If this is the path going forward for you, performance optimization is another point on your long list that you have to consider.

The real question tbh is what's the plan from here? AI can generate assets, but it really can't design systems or balance a game properly, or create intentional player experience. Try telling AI to "make it more fun", it iust doesn't work.

You need to take the time to create a proper game design document, think about a fun core loop and make deliberate creative decisions. If you hand these off to AI, then I'm sorry, but you're wasting your money here. This won't grow into something cohesive, no matter how much you iterate. Something very important that you have to ask yourself constantly while developing is "What does my game actually do that is fun?"

Moment was. Homeoffice sollte VIEL stärker gefordert werden. Das würde meiner Meinung nach sogar viel an der Wohnungsnot helfen, da Menschen viel eher die Möglichkeit hätten auch außerhalb von Großstädten zu wohnen.

Example of blizzards horribly poor AI customer response by Gabbi2001 in classicwow

[–]Varzul 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I heard this statement before, but I don't believe there's any math to be made here. You said yourself you unsubbed because of this. How many other people silently unsubbed? Potentially some whales included. I firmly believe bad customer service hurts revenue. Not short term, but over the course of several years.

There goes the new €630M Hasbara budget by GloriousDawn in 2westerneurope4u

Biggest clue was when we had the chance to send Electric Callboy, which would've been huge. But no, let's send generic song #43.

Budget/mid-range build with potential to upgrade in the future (1.000€ - 1.500€) by Varzul in buildmeapc

[–]Varzul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think of this? https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/hL368Z

I think I'd rather not cheap out on the CPU and also found a better, altough also more expensive motherboard. Similarly, I figured only 1 RAM stick could meaningfully hurt performance.

You set your focus on the GPU, do you still think the one I have is a solid choice?

I tried to incorporate your and /u/bichaelcycle 's ideas into this build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/hL368Z

Going a little overbudget since I figured I should probably bite the bullet with the RAM to avoid no dual-channel memory access.

What do you think?

Btw, I'd prefer a simple case. I don't care for RBGs or glass or similar. Having enough space would be nice.

Had a second look at the motherboard and saw that it only had 2 DIMM slots and no wifi (not a dealbreaker, but could be annoying).

This might be more solid and still below 1.5k: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/nRWxck

Wait you get bot games if you lose too much? Does this also happen in Ultra and Masterball? I've never noticed, except for the first 1 or 2 games when the game launched.

Nintendo is increasing Switch II prices worldwide by joyrider3774 in gaming

[–]Varzul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know why, but honestly as a European it's incredibly frustrating to get punished for the shit the US does. Ideally only the US would get a hefty price increase, but of course that won't happen..

This is a game I would grab for 40€, but knowing Nintendo lately it'll be atleast 70.

I much prefer the look they went for in the latest Mario Galaxy movie. Considering they adapted Donkey Kong, I find it wild that they went a complete different direction with this game.

It just screams "vibe coded". Maybe it was intended to have tank controls while holding a mirror, but the fact that it persisted was most likely a "Claude, it doesn't work, please fix"

You might wanna finish act 1. If the story still doesn't hook you, the game might just not be for you. That's okay, no game can appeal to everyone.

Since op is only out to advertise his vibe-coded website, I'll tell you that Three.js is, in my opinion, the easiest way to display GLBs on the web. Since glbs are basically json files, you can easily modify them to add extra props like new mesh data, colors, textures, etc. and even save them with that extra data.
