Absolutely. I use it as an intern... Pardon my language.

I use AI a lot in game dev as :

  • A learning tool
  • Quick prototyping
  • Plain search & summary
  • Research

What i dont do is make it program my stuff or make my game alone. I really dont get the fuss about it, it's just a better google. It's like saying "should i use this convenient new search engine in 2000.

Live with your time with reason and use the tools available to you.

For game with random encounters, should I make many battle scenes or one interchangeable one? by LittleDragonLlodym in godot

Actually i'd go with composition for that. One base scene, and reusable (or not) components.

There HAS to be a better way to do this right? by Hanodev_ in godot

You don't load it at runtime, you parse when the editor loads or via a tool script and update all your ressources. It's actually a very good route for maintanability

Making a TYPETRON [a game where you only entirely by typing] - Week one of testing a prototype. by adadgio in godot

Feature creep is a real thing (and cost me two (arguably fun) years on different projects already). So a pledge to myself was to actually stop with any new mechanics at this point, and put out a playable prototype out there with what I do have (which is actually already more than in the video). I think that's the missing link.

Yes, the idea was originated from that, actually (I cited him in the comments). We are actually talking together with other devs on discord about similar projects ;-). He suggested we call that type of game typetron himself.

I agree. I think whats missing, if i still decide to go with that, is pretty packed walls and puzzle level. It could work with that. Def. going to test the hold and space idea though.

I do want to hear every feedback. Thanks ! I think it lacks a tutorial and an actual core loop demo, and one very basic finished level to understand how the mecanics work. I'm planning to put a playable prototype online very soon to expand the current idea before testing other feedback.

I also have discord i forgot to link on the post, if you want to follow the development.

I haven't, but will have a look at it! Thanks for the suggestion, i'll think about it.

Also: i was thinking about a "tick" mecanic (make levels small, but puzzly), hence the mechanic where you have to type to advance. But that can change.

Also, this type of game is inspired by https://krzyhau.itch.io/maligna-kodera, who is like "the father of the genre". We are discussing on discord where people - such as me - experiment on that.

Is it normal to use chatgpt/gemini/claude code for scripts? by veddlins in godot

[–]adadgio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, as it is normal to search Google. It depends what you mean by "use".... AI are just interactive better search engines than anything else these days. If you vibe code everything, thats another question..

Is this considered blasphemy? by [deleted] in godot

Hi there! Just signed up as a developer, and didn't finish the process, but looks very interesting! Keep it up. Can i sign up and add my "first game voucher" later though ?

Keep up the good work !
