No bro, i haven't try your game yet 😭

your girl brainwashed you

lol

07 It might hurt, but you're doing the right thing. Maybe remake without ai. Or move the game to hidden to patch out the ai stuff. Fight the good fight friend!

I agree

Hardest Announcement    10 Jan

AI is bad, game will be deleted 30.1. 

This game will be deleted at 30.1. I made this game during the summer in couple months and thought to use AI because in university there is so much brainwashing on students and all the tools are...

Respect the impulse, but this reads like moral posturing, not moral clarity. Tools don't steal value; choices do. You wrote the game; erasing it punishes players and hides the problem while leaving the real drivers (capital incentives, corporate practices, lax regulation) untouched. If you care about AI's costs, use the work as leverage: publish the code, build a truly handcrafted follow-up, donate proceeds to sustainability, or campaign for better policy. Personal reasons and performative deletion won't fix the systemic issues; constructive action will.

I guess you're gonna stop eating meat then too since that arguably uses more water than AI data centers do.

I don't think this is a right move, and think you should reconsider. Rather than focusing on AI. The parts you did yourself is still done by you which means you did create a work of art which all video games are art. You have regrets, and I can completely understand that I don't think there has been a video game ever created where that feeling that something should have been done differently after even way before AI.

I'm not asking you to change your position and your future methods of development. You absolutely should do what you think is right. But please do not destroy art because of a regret you have. Let this game be and view is as a step that you have taken in growth.

Noble, but wasted. I have a family of artists (my wife is too). AI has messed things up, but... it's not going away. Game development required a dozen things to coincide, and every one of those things (before AI) was very expensive. This meant that the solo indie dev rarely completed a game fit for sale, and those that did were VERY rare, and we tended to "try" to ignore the obvious deficiencies in quality. Many resorted to using premade assets, which tended to draw A LOT of forum hate.

You see a lot of solo-indies make a game, and the quality of the graphics and or sound is sad, and they get criticized, and it takes FOREVER (that's a lot of parts to do by yourself - and if you take too long, your game will be too dated, even for an indie by the time it comes out).

You see a lot of solo-indies make a game, and they use premade assets - and all the trolls will never relent with all the complaints about how the game is anything but original (and while I HATE this complaint... it does get uninspiring seeing the SAME graphics in multiple entirely different games).

You see a lot of solo-indies make a game, hire out the individual components, sink a ton of money, and they simply can't continue this for long, and they release it half-baked or quit entirely because their real life bills need them to take up a 'real job' (or one that makes money instead of costing money).

You see a TINY minority of solo-indies make a game, they found a way to steamline the design, and it's rough, but fun... and maybe successful, but in the noise that is Steam... probably not.

Reality is... thanks to AI, some game designers with AMAZING unique ideas, but not a lot of money, or a team, or unlimited time can now make and finish games in a time-frame that is reality - they might even make a profit, and this will give them a chance to either re-invest the funds into non-AI media for their game and or make another even better game.

Even though i agree but i think you should just leave it and give it a price tag of 1e and youll get some income from it, life aint that deep.
