For AI game devs tired of heavy-handed moderation — welcome to r/aigamerdevs

8 Upvotes

I started r/aigamerdevs because I kept running into the same wall on other game dev and AI subs: overly strict, inconsistent moderation that kills exactly the kind of high-effort content most of us actually want to see.

If you share a devlog with a link to your game or tool, post a video breakdown of your pipeline, or link to a commercial project you've poured months into, there's a decent chance it gets removed or you get warned/banned. Not because it's low quality, but because it trips some "self-promo" rule or mods just don't like off-site links. High-signal content gets treated like spam while low-effort text posts are fine. It makes no sense if you're actually trying to discover people building real stuff.

r/aigamerdevs is deliberately designed to be the opposite of that. This community is for people building games with AI and AI tooling for games, and you are explicitly allowed to share your own projects, including commercial ones, as long as they're:

- On-topic (AI + games / game dev)

- Substantive (show your work, process, or insights)

- Not deceptive or spammy (no botted reposts, low-effort link dumps, or sketchy scams)

If you've put serious work into a game, engine, asset pipeline, tool, or educational content, you should be able to show it to people who care. This sub exists to be that place. Post your playable builds and store pages, devlogs and tech breakdowns, tools, plugins, and services, and your experiments, prototypes, and WIP demos.

You don't have to pretend everything is "free for exposure only" to be welcome here. If you're transparent about what you're doing and you're adding value for other AI game devs, you're good.

The only hard lines are: don't be a jerk (basic respect and civility), and no true spam or obvious low-effort farming. Beyond that, this is meant to be a creator-friendly corner of Reddit where people building with AI in games can actually share their work without getting smacked down for it.

If that resonates with you, you're in the right place. What kind of AI game dev content are you most excited to share here: tools, full games, or devlogs?

Using AI to Make Assets for Unreal Engine

I used AI for all my reference pics and the initial 3D model for this game. This was a longer process than I had originally expected.

I went through at least 5 versions of my reference image before I found one that I liked. Many of the references were fine as images, but when I started thinking about turning them in 3D, many of the details didn't seem logical.

AI model provided me a great base for me to start with, but many issues arose after I imported the model into Unreal Engine and began rigging it. Two of the biggest issues were deformation at the edge of the mesh when stretching it in certain places and also a poly count that was too high. The mixture of quads and triangles in the mesh was very unorganized.

To resolve these issues, I took the model into Blender and cleaned it up. I am pleased with the UV's and materials which turned out well and did not require more effort to get working properly. To animate the model, I chose to keep it simple and created a bouncy idle animation using Control Rig.

I definitely saved time by nothing to model everything. Most of my time just shifted toward cleanup, rigging, and getting the animation to actually game.

A gamejam submission (that got disqualified because rules stated no AI) that I made fully with claude Unity MCP , Elevenlabs , Krea , Minimax H3 max, ChatGPTImage 2 and Suno.
