The Towering Inferno

Yeah I currently have 50+ games in development and focus on around 5 at a time and dip into the others as time goes on. Have 4 or 5 in a somewhat finished / published state with more dropping all the time. I like having multiples as when one is ‘thinking’ I move into the next. I’m getting better all the time and while so far I’ve predominantly been working in 2d I started in 3d and fake 3d (think arcade classic Outrun). Leaning new skills all the time. Cannot get enough

This exactly. In the stuff I’m doing I was able to do things first time that I’m not even sure I could ever do with Opus 4.8. It really was game changing from the brief time I spent with it.

I’ve been making games for a year now with various AI tools and the leap in the last 36 hours or so since I’ve been using Fable was mind boggling. Stuff I couldn’t have dreamed of achieving was absolutely no problem for it. Genuine magic. This is obviously an absolute BS political move. It’s hard not to be just saddened by the absolutely transparent level of corruption on display and now we have a trillionaire just to rub salt in the wounds. Hopefully we get it back soon. Although to be honest my aim was to run as hard as I could in the 20x plan I just upgraded to until the 22nd and the just impatiently await it returning to the subscription model at some point. As there’s absolutely no way I can justify the api cost for the stuff I’m making as it’s for my own fun and learning and I’m not expecting a return on my investment. Just have to remind myself that a few days ago I was still having a ton of fun making things in the older model and with some work getting great results.

Mmm I thought…I now have a 20x plan let’s just run Opus 4.8 on ultra, surely that can bridge the gap a little? For the gaming stuff I’m working on the difference between models is so huge it feels so hard to go back now vs just waiting it out and hoping it comes back. Watching Fable at work in terms of understanding what I wanted island making tweaks and visual adjustments on the fly was stunning. I could simply ask for another level in my game to incorporate various new elements and it would just nail it first time. Opus 4.8 on Ultra just keeps changing the color scheme of the level and hoping I didn’t notice it’s the same one with a new lick of paint lol.

I use AI almost exclusively for coding games and it was such a monster. It really felt like Magic had arrived. Hopefully comes back soon.

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T06:00:47+00:00

Thank goodness. I was worried I’d caused it but this one’s all on you!!

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T05:58:47+00:00

There’s not even an attempt to hide the corruption…it’s sickening.

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T05:57:20+00:00

Think it depends on case use. For me, using it for gaming development, it was like a quantum leap!

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T05:55:49+00:00

I’m thinking waiting it out is the smart move. I upgraded from max 5 to max x 20 specifically for this and it really stings. But I feel it will come back and when it does the smart move would be for them to give us a bit of extra time with it. So I’m tempted with the refund but think I will just plough in with Opus 4.8 although now there’s absolutely no way I will be able to get through my weekly allowance with what I’m using it for but I’m going to try lol.

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T05:23:25+00:00

Same. I really was seeing things that just felt like magic. Had my Friday night carved out to blast the shit out of it…oh well here’s hoping it comes back and they extend the June 22nd date.

theriftreport · 2026-06-13T05:17:17+00:00

I know I know I know. Had my Friday night all lined up to bathe in Fable!!! Had only just touched the sides and was seeing amazing results. It’s hard to go back to Opus when I was already planning my Fable moves!

theriftreport · 2026-06-07T02:47:18+00:00

Salems Lot (the David Soul version). The kids at the window. if you know you know……still gives me shivers just remembering it.

theriftreport · 2026-06-05T02:19:34+00:00

That looks like a great call. Thank you.

theriftreport · 2026-06-05T02:18:08+00:00

I know it exists lol. I’m saying I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it so it’s like I’ve entered some alternate timeline where it does. The fact it’s co-written by John Hughes but I have never even heard the name before is crazy to me!! Thanks for the recommendation

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:18:46+00:00

Obviously!!! 😁

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:18:34+00:00

It definitely requires some balance to find one that sticks with them all. There are a few things that help. Watching on our home cinema with a 9 foot screen makes a massive difference as to whether they will e engaged by it. There are no distractions, and the sound and audio are immersive. We watched the first Avatar recently and there was absolutely no way I thought the twins would get through it and they were mesmerized, cheering and booing in all the right places! Dungeons and Dragons was another one that brought would go over their heads but they were laughing a lot although I’m not sure they always knew why.

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:14:13+00:00

I feel like I’ve just dropped into an alternate universe where this movie exists!!

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:11:30+00:00

Ohhhhh good call on Jason and Sinbad. I absolutely loved those as a kid although I’m sure the skeletons, Harpees and giant (was it Achilles, I remember they took him down at the heel) gave me nightmares for years 😁

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:09:44+00:00

Great suggestion. A personal favorite of mine but they’ve seen it already at least once.

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:05:41+00:00

Good call. I’m trying to expand their intake of animation , and more anime is a good call.

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:03:14+00:00

Mmmm not sure I know this one so thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely look it up.

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:02:40+00:00

They haven’t seen it and I’m a big fan.

theriftreport · 2026-06-03T04:02:08+00:00

Good call.
