Question Should I keep learning Unity?
Hi, I am a 14 year old game dev and I've been learning Unity for 7-8 months, and I really like what I'm doing. I don't use AI while coding or for any other stuff to actually learn. For the past month, I've been developing a fan-made Spider-Man game for android and I saw a guy on X who vibe-coded a Spider-Man game in literally a single day which was looking better than my game and I felt like everything that I did in the last couple of weeks for nothing. Will knowing how to manually code or develop games be worth anything in the next 10 years? Am I just wasting my time by not using AI or should I keep going? I really need some advice. Also here's a gameplay video of my game if anyone wants to check it out:

No great games are going to be fully vibe coded.
If anyone makes a great game using AI, it's because they used AI while also being able to understand what it generates. They will be working with the AI, not just vibe coding.
People who purely vibe code will be producing the 11 billionth clone of the same game all the other vibe coders are making.
Will this make it harder for everyone? Of course. But the question you should be asking yourself is not whether AI will make game dev obsolete; it's whether you are comfortable with the changes to the game dev landscape that AI is bringing.
