That one “battle drones” screenshot looks like it just copied a Warcraft 2 level verbatim.
Make it fun - No mistakes!
be creative, make it look great
It’s crazy to me that people can get so excited by pumping out slop.
What do they think creativity is?
This is the saddest blog post I ever read. Asking a machine to “make it fun”… I really hope this is the bottom of the barrel, because I am not sure I can take more.
Yeah, so sad. You hate games that are “designed by committee”, just wait for “designed by a machine regurgitating the most common designs by committee”.
“Please make it fun” it’s such a boring way to make or think about games. The entire point is to find that fun by playing and iterating on it.
I don’t care if AI can make a game for me, I actually enjoy the make process
“Please make it fun”
Would this lead to a game about being a border control agent in a fictionalised soviet country?
I very much doubt it.
If you take a look at this in detail:
So the AI did exactly that: Added some flashy features like adaptive combat music, a progression system and so on, but also ran a lot of playtest sessions and finetuned the game balance and units with them.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. Having Claude “play”-test a game 1200 times isn’t the same as having 1200 humans playtest something. It’s having one pseudorandom test 1200 times.
Also, isn’t the point of games that humans play them? That’s why it’s called a playtest. Humans play the game and report what they found enjoyable versus what needed work. The designer then gets to choose if adding units or balancing abilities is warranted. How would a machine know what an audience finds fun? How could it know what a dominant strategy might be? They don’t, and this idea that you can outsource creativity to AI is fundamentally flawed.
You are right, but … it does work. If you play the game, it really is a solid RTS.
Why would I play a game a human didn’t make? This is actual hedonism. Just raw masturbatory dopamine seeking.
So I guess fun is mashing together a bunch of features from other RTS and MOBAs. In days gone by this sort of thing was considered shovelware garbage. I guess with AI in the mix it’s now called innovation.
Also… combat juice?
All those idea-men out there seem to have run out of ideas pretty fast.
Thanks, i hate it :(
