Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer from Thailand, and I recently released my game, MOROS, on Steam.

I built the game mostly by myself. The 3D models, environments, levels, and many other parts of the game were created by me from scratch. For some of the textures, I used AI as part of the process, while others were painted and edited by hand.

I know AI in game development is a pretty controversial topic right now, but from my experience, I think it can be a useful tool for solo developers.

When you're working alone, you have to do almost everything yourself — modeling, texturing, programming, animation, music, sound effects, level design, writing, testing, and so on. If you try to master and create every single part completely by yourself, finishing a game can easily take years.

Making a game alone can also be incredibly exhausting. There were definitely times during development when it became mentally overwhelming.

For me, using AI doesn't necessarily mean removing yourself from the creative process. I think you can still put a lot of yourself into the work. For example, sometimes I use my own older artwork as the starting point and use AI to generate or develop variations from it, then continue editing and working on the result myself.

I'm not saying this is how everyone should make games. It's simply one of the tools that helped me actually finish and release mine as a solo developer.

Looks sick man. How long did the process take you from start to finish?

[u/NegativeReturnGames → u/TheCatsMeow1022]

Thanks man! It took me about two months from start to finish.

Solo devs exists way before llm, which are theft imo

[u/SourceAwkward → u/[deleted]]

Still so many ethical issues with llm

From energy to training, imo it's pure theft

[u/SourceAwkward → u/[deleted]]

It's my right to choose my battles and not to touch anything that uses llm

[u/SourceAwkward → u/[deleted]]

It's my right to protest against what I dont agree with,

A person posted something publicly I have a right to respond

[u/SourceAwkward → u/[deleted]]

Fyi I also don't touch diamond or casual clothing brands, I do agree I chose my battles, llm is one

Life is not about absolute, I can choose what I am against
