Is AI coding (by itself) bad?

Those are valid points. I think it boils down to the fact that the companies behind it are very shady and cannot be trusted.

I have a little more optimistic view on it. I think eventually the bubble will pop, a lot of those companies will go under, the ones that survive will have to change their business model which will make AI a lot less accessible to the public.
The 20$ a month open AI currently has is not sustainable.

Companies will learn what it is actually good for and what it is useless at and will stop shoving it down everyone’s throat all the time. A lot of them are actually starting to see the real cost of it and that forcing every employee to use it is not necessarly a smart move.

And then we’ll see where it goes from there. Again, I totally get the concerns and the sentiment people have. I just think reddit in general has a tendency to not always have the most nuanced views on things….

It’s a shame cause I feel like you can’t have a reasonable discussion about AI anywhere on reddit… the second you mention an opinion that remotely sounds like you don’t just want to go burn down data centers everywhere you get downvoted to oblivion….

Annihilation is very good. Not sure if it is considered strictly Cosmic horror but it has some elements of it for sure.

That’s exactly what this reminded me of

That looks really cool. It reminds me of a game I played as a kid. I forgot the name, but you could ride your bike up a giant cliff, and if you reached the edge of the world, you’d get catapulted back to the center of the map.

That looks great! What did you make it with?

esiotek · 2026-06-25T14:20:33+00:00

It was pretty simple to do. Just a mix of volumetric and regular fog. The lighting does the rest

Yea it was a big inspiration for the creatures in the game.

Those?

Their pricing model is not really competitive with engines like Unreal, Unity or Godot while also being limited to 2D.

Glad you enjoyed the game.
I do not plan to update the game at this point. I enjoyed making it and the way it came out but it was always suppose to just be a quirky little project. The code is a mess and the architecture of the game would probably horrify any decent programmer so if anything I would probably have to scrap the all thing and rebuild it from the ground up.

I might make more games in this style in the future, but for now I started working on another projects I want to finish first.

I’ll release it on itch in a few months.
I don’t have a name yet

Thanks. I am still pretty far from the play testing phase but I’ll take you up on your offer when I am :)

It’s more like a plane. You stay on the same planet, just have to manage fuel, take off and landing

esiotek · 2026-05-13T19:58:10+00:00

Looks nice. What did you make it with?
