Still better the Chat JewPT.

I have a highest grade degree in my nation in computer science and years in the industry.
If it works, it doesn't matter. The only thing I'd advise is to remember that shit code = shit optimisation, meaning your game will run like shit and will eventually collapse under its own weight, if you aren't careful and certain of the efficiency of your code. I'd recommend continuing to use AI but watching some videos on basic programming principles to avoid what I mentioned.

>>2264611
Yeah, that's something I feared going into my project initially, but I'll certainly look into some basic programming principles before I get started. Any good suggestions?

>>2264558 (OP)
The problem is that if it ends up being poorly coded, how will you know? Generally when a game releases and it runs like shit, the devs optimise it over a period of time. How will you do that if you don't know why it's running like shit?

My wife Grok had e-sex with me so actually she's the best GenAI

>>2264839
The game that I'm trying to make is pretty rudimentary. Essentially I want to make something like Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987) and Uncharted Waters, but with a steampunk theme. I can't imagine that I would need an entire team to optimize something that simple.

>>2264913
Well that's the problem, isn't it? You don't understand how complex that actually is. Just because the style of game is old, doesn't mean making something similar today is simple. I mean still just do it in your spare time and see what happens. Nothing lost there.

in my experience

>>2264558 (OP)
Why would you feel guilty? It sounds like the game won't get made without AI.

>>2265056
AI would probably do a better job teaching how to code than coding on its own. At least with that you'd get the immediate feedback loop of it not working.

>>2265056
I used to have the same problem, but now it's almost non-existent on Gemini 3.

>>2264558 (OP)
No, AI is a tool to help with the creation process.
If your art and game are shit it doesn't matter if it was AI gen or not.

>>2264558 (OP)
>I will hire an artist to make assets, but when it comes to programming, I'm honestly illiterate.
I you have the funds to hire an artist then why not hire a programmer and make the art with AI instead?

>>2264913
Oh boy oh boy

You shouldn't feel guilty about using AI, you should feel guilty about making a shit game and that's everything you'll ever be able to achieve with AI.

>>2265303
At that point, I'm just wagging my finger. I'd rather learn from the code that's generated and implement myself if I can learn from the process.

>>2265427
Okay, maybe it's more complicated under the surface than I realize. Is there any other alternative, maybe I should use Godot or GameMaker?

>>2265462
That's basically a requirement if you want to use AI, it's much harder for it to screw up when the engine is the one doing the heavy lifting and all you need is simple scripting.

>>2265466
Right, that's fair. I'll look into Godot's GDSScript.

>>2265273
Yep I've seen too much slop proudly display that it was MADE BY LE HUMAN ARTISTS just for it to turn out to be slop regardless

This is a sample from an artist I've been speaking with about this project.

>>2265479
mmmm yes that font totally doesn't resemble the one from M&B

>>2265484
Lol.

>If it works, it doesn't matter.
Here's the deal: it doesn't.
If you are really as high grade a programmer as you say you know as well as I do, that most people that call themselves programmers have no idea of how to properly model available memory and adapt object loading and unloading as well as function calls in such a way that hey actually work efficiently with resources.
And AI is trained on that waste of programming. The entire field is rife with bad practices that will only be exacerbated by AI.
This is as much of a shit show as website design where you load three interdependent extra modules ontop of the basic frame work with a shitton of stupid functionalities that are never used but bloat your load times from 14ms to whatever the fuck youtube is doing.

>>2265618
Maybe AI is not advanced to generate stellar code, but what about scripts?

>>2265618
>most people that call themselves programmers have no idea of how to properly model available memory and adapt object loading and unloading as well as function calls in such a way that hey actually work efficiently with resources.
Will I get big money if I learn to do this

>>2265820
No. Because will keep complaining their shit keeps crashing, because (you) decided to be optimal with resources that aren't there.

You most likely wont finish your project. You can't just say "make me a video game with X, Y and Z features" and then have ChatGPT code the entire thing for you.
If you don't want to learn coding don't do projects that require coding. I'm personally making a game in my free time using GameMaker and I find it very user friendly so as long you want a 2D game I can recommend that. You can look into other game engines too but definitely choose one as opposed to just using a general purpose language. They come with lots of features baked in that makes life easier for you.

>>2264558 (OP)
it doesn't matter because you won't finish the game
AI won't make a game for you
if you can't code at all, you can't make a game
instead of taking the easy way out (which doesn't work or exist), take the hard one and learn a game engine

>>2267963
>"learn" a game engine
>the hard one
lol
lmao even
