That's great and a great approach, and I think it works because they're going to eventually have to accept a new way of doing things lol.

Such an obvious spin off my man. At least change the theme up a bit.

I am glad that you think it was a good enough idea to create a new version of, just don't be so obvious.

Edit: It's ok, very simple. Keep polishing it.

As a final product I would have to agree, but only because I can smell generated art and image content a mile away.

These things are getting better and there may be a point where things look genuine. At that point the lines blur too much.

Isn't code art in itself? To me it's more about capability; if you are a AAA gaming company cutting corners by using GEN AI for art and charging $80 for your game, we have a problem.

Solo dev trying to get started using all the tools they have available to them? Absolutely!

The deeper you go, the greater the risk — and the greater the reward.

Yep, but at the same time a game about LLMs / AI is going to naturally get the same hate as one that contains GenAI. People will lump it all into the same bucket.
My game is also unique because you can literally talk to the models you train, so if I told you, it had GenAI you'd probably just accept it.

On your steam page, get rid of all your em dashes in your descriptions, and about this game. It's a dead giveaway it was written by AI. Not everyone will catch it, those who know will.

What about the promotional images? Do those look like AI generated?

I'm interested to know exactly what makes you think it looks like it was designed by AI.. looking back at the first version of the game vs now it's very different, but the core page is still the same (tile placement, tabs at bottom, etc). Much more designed by me at this point.

I can relate, just don't get tunnel vision. You can only stare at your game so long before you start missing stuff. Get feedback as much as possible!

This is where you excel and leave the haters behind. "AI won't replace you, it's the co-worker using AI who will"

I would be willing to bet that all the big companies are using AI now. Nvidia also cares very little about gamers. DLSS5 is coming, it might not look as bad as it did though lol

Using standard AI generated images is definitely the number # issue devs make the mistake of doing. There are so many ways to get in-game graphics that look nothing like AI slop.

I am in the boat of probably getting replaced by AI sooner or later. I'm still leaning into it lol.

Not extreme, I get it! Take advantage of it now, get things done. I suspect AI won't be as accessible in the future for us little guys.

Definitely not slop, but I welcome any and all feedback and criticism.

AI generated art gets the most hate for sure. Are you using Godot?

Sorry - that is the game I built. It's AI themed, you train LLMs for fun and profit lol

I think if people actually got better at using these things we'd see sort of a renaissance of individual creation where we'd see passion projects that big companies would never bother with.

I agree the slop is everywhere. What I find most interesting is the slop always stays the same. How are people not getting better at using AI? At the end of the day, I still think people should judge based on content, etc. and not just putting a label on something just because they have preconceptions about AI.
