Individual Game Development

Pleb circa 2018:

I work on individual game projects on and off but I can never justify the great expenditure for what will ultimately amount to little personal benefit. Yes there are great games made by one person teams but said individuals had to live and breath game development for the years it took them to create those projects. I don't have any skill in the visual arts and I'm just not willing to dedicate the time to become a mediocre artist so I can make my own game.

—————————THE FUTURE OCCURS—————————

Pleb now:

Fuck drawing, fuck painting, fuck doing digital art. That shit’s all in the past now. We’re living in the NOW.

That was made by a COMPUTER. BY CODE. And all it took was loads of training data, boatloads of cpu power, and a fuckton of memory. No artistic talent required. We’re living in an era where artistic talent IS NOT NECESSARY.

Yet I still don’t make games. Turns out the drawing wasn’t the problem. It was just akrasia.

But somebody else, a lot of other people, should definitely start making games using ai-generated images. Not Dall-e-2 though because that’s not allowed for some reason. Which is totally 100% fucked btw. Please for the love of god OpenAI commercialize Dall-e-2 already so people can make the best asset flip games ever.
