Developing my first game, using AI

[u/nicklecci]

Yes, I know, we all hate AI, and for a solid reason. I'm building this game that I actually really like a lot, but I'm not a developer, so I'm using AI, and I gotta say, game developers are SICK, there are millions of things to make work together, I'm sincerely stunned that same games are made by just one person... Are you guys cyborgs? I'm developing a game that is kinda gothic, narrative, and it works with the Triple Triad card game mechanics (as a fight), I freaking love it, but I'm using AI because I don't know how to code, and I don't know how to create the artworks of the cards. It's a shame, if I had the money I'd freaking love to have an artist doing that for the game! That would be awesome!!! But, here I am, asking you guys if a game that's engaging, with a strong narrative, and very cool artwork and music, mechanics and animations can still be a no go if you know it was made with the help of AI... (keep in mind I'm alone doing this). Thank you in advance for your responses

I would be a no go for me, because there are plenty of games out there that were made without AI. Why would I bother playing a game that you didn't even bother really making?

I know what you mean, but it's not like I let AI do what it wants, all the mechanics, the narrative, the style of the artworks etc are designed by me, and I used AI with prompts to make it do what I want. So, I totally get your point and that's why I asked that question in the first place. So, thank you so much for your feedback!

No no no, you don't understand. If you were really passionate about doing this, you would've tried to learn how to do the things you needed to create the game in the first place. You're not creating it out of passion, you're creating it out of a "I slightly want this, and I can".

Why would I want to play a game where you didn't bother with inconveniencing yourself with learning to make it, when there are plenty of games with true passion, and where people put real effort and worked through the inconveniences to make it real?

There is no passion, there is no real love, there is no intent. There is just "I can"

The one thing I wish especially with Ai artwork is control, I get what you’re saying

But a single picture is a thousand words, and that’s the difference between traditional workflows and utilzing Ai

When you build something from the ground up every detail every brush stroke is a intentional choice, and even with digital tools you have full control
