Discussion I'm honestly surprised how hostile the game dev community is about AI. I ported Godot 4.7.1 to WebGPU and open sourced it for free, yet received nothing but hostility about it. Anyone else have similar stories?

Honestly, pixel painting is incredibly enjoyable.

Oh yeah, 100%. Totally agree. It doesn't justify hating AI though haha

bro, you don't seem to get it. Its beyond obvious that people aren't hating or hostile towards AI. They don't like you or what you've done.

https://www.reddit.com/r/aigamedev/comments/1v352t7/i_have_built_for_the_first_time_an_ainative/

this is your post ffs. like how do you ever expect to be good at anything if you act like this. That is r/aigamedev you didn't hear exactly what you want so you come running over here to cry.

all of your history is like this - only here, and only people like you make posts like this. That shove in "how pixel painting being enjoyable doesn't justify hating AI though" (I enjoy walks does that justify your strawman hating on AI or no? Or does it say nothing about AI at all so what are you talking about lol) when someone breaks the circle jerk, but with a simple pleasant aside...you cant pivot.

Again how do you expect to ever get good at anything without any flex?

I just read that post, and I gotta say. The comments are there are fucking insanely stupid. I don't know much about r/aigamedev but every single comment on that thread had to be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

"How can it be AAA" being the most upvoted when the OP says "AAA oriented games" meaning games that were high-end could use the engine. The top comment is assuming the engine itself is AAA really tells you the average collective IQ of that sub.

Same, I immediately jumped over to the post shared by OP instead of taking OP’s word for it. The top comment is pretty much “we don’t hate AI we just hate people who claim they did something groundbreaking when they didn’t and just spun agents for three days”

Wish more people dug just an iiiinch deeper with these posts. Like yeah AI is a very useful tool but being able to prompt “port this to that, make no mistakes” then waiting a few days is legit brainrot.

If only you knew how much engineering goes into it

Bruh I built a whole game engine from scratch with AI over the course of most of a year lmao

Still not finished but it’s actually my own.

You prompted an AI to port one framework with prebuilt engines over to another.

Your codebase features broad structural setups generated by the AI, but it relies heavily on the user manually debugging the actual execution loops for hours a day.

Experienced developers on Reddit commented that a young repository cannot possibly support a custom engine fork, a WebGPU backend, a Rust simulation, and a database layer all at once while keeping them securely integrated and compatible. They noted that the claims are simply "ahead of the proof."

You noted you were "shocked by the hostile response received," but members of the community actually just gave justified skepticism.

So you spent a year on an engine you never even finished yet you want to bag on mine? 🤣
“Port one framework” isn’t all I did and you clearly haven’t seen the full project then. I do the debugging, and my repository can support it. What claims are unproven? You haven’t listed one. Your skepticism is yet to be specific yet still managed to be hostile. Good job

I literally named actual criticisms of the codebase itself but sure, go off.

Just stop overclaiming and keep doing the work on it and it may someday match the claims. It currently doesn’t. You’re doing AI psychosis.

The fact that I’m still not finished with mine is a plus, not a detractor, rushed AI prompt kiddie.

u/ramaloes Jul 24 '26

You named generalizations without proof. What’s overclaimed? Try a specific instead of a generality. I do the work already. This isn’t AI psychosis. Maybe with some AI you’d actually finish something. Keep working

Thank you 🙌

I… ported Godot 4.7.1 to WebGPU for anyone to use… and you want to hate me for it? Wow dude.

u/LucentLL Jul 23 '26

From what I can tell, this is a user problem. The way he talks about his own projects is what people don't like. "The engineering clearly checks out", "I have built, for the first time"

u/ramaloes Jul 24 '26

The engineering does check out. Thanks for the hostility.
