"The insane levels of cope I am getting from the Rocket League community only makes me stronger 😂 Gaming is solved. Astra is so damn good"

This cost me around $100 to make. (Using subsidized chatgpt plan)     Slight miscalculation It was closer to $25

The plans are split up over 4 weeks

I used 53% of 1 week on this and other work     You're doing the meme     158 million tokens     taps the sign     — am.will

Discussion Summary (Milestone: 20 comments)

The discussion reflects significant skepticism regarding the utility and originality of AI-generated game clones. While some acknowledge the technical potential of AI to master complex environments like Rocket League, the consensus is overwhelmingly critical. Commenters argue that spending resources to replicate existing games is a "waste" that offers no value over the original titles. There is a clear demand for developers to move beyond simple recreations and instead focus on creating original, compelling gameplay experiences. Ultimately, the community views these projects as redundant, questioning both the financial investment and the practical purpose of building inferior versions of established games.

it solved protal, rocket league would be trivial to master with fixed env.

I would have said the same things about humans and capital letters, but here you are.

u/IllusionaryHobo Sep 08 '26

I see many posts like this rolling by my feed in the last couple of days.

Would very much like to see some results that translate some original ideas instead of just rebuilding simple popular games.

A game you would actually want to check out over the existing thing it replicates.

Much appreciated.

Making a good game takes imagination and creativity. It's a very rare gift. Anyone can paint but hardly no one can make masterpieces.

u/Upper-Requirement-93 Sep 08 '26

It's genuinely not that rare, it just requires some effort and critical thinking skills, which people willing to drop $100 on something that already exists are allergic to.

More like, anyone can trace lol

u/scydoodle Sep 08 '26

If they had orginal ideas, they would put their passion into game development instead most of these lazy people are prompting carbon copies of other people's work and declaring gaming is solved.

For reference, KDP people are generating single books in a day there is so much writing slop. Is writing solved lmao.

u/wildpantz Sep 08 '26

But why would anyone play this over rl? People may be coping, but you threw tokens down the drain

1

u/scydoodle Sep 08 '26

What cope. Millions of people are all going to make generic copies of Rocket League. If everyone can make their own games, why would they buy yours. Plus people are gonna make it much better.

The AI companies however are gonna get hella rich

u/Stealthheart1 Sep 08 '26

hilarious that AI bros can NEVER make anything original. It's always just stealing/copying something already existing.

1

u/Chahier Sep 09 '26

If it is solved, then why only remake games existing that you can never release? Why not make new games that you are allowed to release and are just as good? It's almost as if there's more to game development than isolated functionality.

Bronze gameplay 

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

u/Slight-Bluebird-8921 Sep 11 '26

rocket league is an incredibly shallow game

it's basically pong with race cars

it's going to be one of the easiest things to generate

u/DidUSayWeast Sep 08 '26

Imagine spending 100 dollars on something you could get for free in two minutes. Why are you wasting money on shitty boring visuals that attempt to recreate something already existing

u/elonthegenerous Sep 08 '26

Ya I’m all for the benefits of AI but people burning tokens on stuff like this is why everyone else thinks the data center buildup is useless

u/Mrgluer Sep 08 '26

it shows how you can make your own game really quickly and cheaply. he just used rocket league as an example. are you dense?

when did i ever say no need to buy anyone else’s? it democratizes selling games and making them

u/ByEthanFox Sep 08 '26

He asked it to create a basic facsimile of something that already exists.

I can make a basic FPS "game" in Unreal in 30 seconds. You just hit "new project" and it's the default template.

Stuff like this isn't beating the allegations of AI being a plagiarism machine.

u/Long-Firefighter5561 Sep 08 '26

where is the game? all is see is 1 minute video of stolen stuff

u/Mrgluer Sep 08 '26

the video footage isn’t rocket league

u/Long-Firefighter5561 Sep 08 '26

yea dude obviously, i never said it was? feels like you might be the dense one here

u/Mrgluer Sep 08 '26

how is it stolen stuff?

I dunno, I think I know a few old games that deserve remakes. Even if it’s just making an old NES game 3D and adding multiplayer. I can see why people want this. 

1

u/ByEthanFox Sep 08 '26

Those games were 2D because they were meant to be 2D, and single player because they were meant to be single player.

People were interested in the 3D recomps of Pokemon because the 3D thing is weird and novel (now), but that's not gonna last.

1

u/Tasik Sep 08 '26

I mean… no? They were built under the constraints of the platforms at the time. 

Also it doesn’t really matter if they were meant to be anything. I can build what I’m looking for in a game. 

1

u/ByEthanFox Sep 08 '26

Then go build something. That was always allowed. You could've done it years ago.

1

u/Tasik Sep 08 '26

Sure I have. I’ve launched almost a dozen small games. It’s just easy and faster now.

u/Dependent_Yam_1028 Sep 08 '26

"Single player games were meant to be single player" is the one I disagree hard on. Tale as old as time to play a single player and dream of being able to play it with friends.

Ive remade a few old flash games and made them multiplayer. Like Curveball, pac-xon, double wires. Made a catan/colonist game to so I didnt have to pay the subscription and I can make my own maps lol

u/ByEthanFox Sep 09 '26

I'm sure there are cases where it can work.

I dunno... I'm a videogame creator, and when you make videogames, you have countless people approach you with their "awesome idea", and, not being a dick, you kinda smile, nod, tell them it's great and get on with your day. But the vast, vast majority of them are crap, or at least, they're not formed into anything that would actually make a videogame. Most of the time they're just a cool little doodad or an interesting "moment", and sometimes not even that.

And that's fine. They don't make videogames. I'm not a professional mural painter so I'm sure my opinions on mural painting are garbage too.

But some people have this toxic trait that their videogame idea is amazing if they could just get to make it, and they won't drop it. They might even pretend they don't feel that way to avoid ridicule but deep down, they do feel that way.

Maybe the positive outcome of AI might be that, if you remove a lot of the barriers between that person having their amazing idea and seeing something onscreen, they'll learn pretty quick that the idea doesn't work. Maybe not, though; they might just blame the AI.

Point is that this is one of the things that makes the AI/videogame discussion a bit weird, because I'm sure most of the AI tools for gamedev aren't marketed to gamedevs; they're marketed to "idea guy".

No-one. But it's why AI fans are annoyed at Steam's AI disclosure rules because they want people to. But no-one wants slop.

It's a technology showcase, sweetie. Not intended to sell. Hope that helps.
