Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Something something use godot

Or make your own bespoke/in-house engine (if you can)

It's half the fun! Of course, historically, I always run out of steam by the time I get something going and get to making something playable.

Engine developer here, the hardest part of developing engines is the tooling. That's why Godot and Unity are where they're today.

Oh, no doubt about that. I tend to make 2D games as my art skills are beyond embarrassing anyway so 2D map/terrain makers are much easier, quicker, and more fun (to me) to create.

Or some of it's alternatives.

Shameless self-plug.

(In progress to make the basic-IO part (iota) to be independent of the D runtime and GC, thus making it a good candidate for use with other languages with C or C++ interop)

why not LOVE2D if you want better documentation and easier to use?

I hate Unity. I hated it when it was new and a buggy piece of shit, I hate that it's taken over Steam, and I hate that it's integrating AI slop.

Nothing says "40 FPS low-poly game" like a "Made with Unity"-splash screen

Well good am not the only one.
This is why I hate looking for a game to spend my money on.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

Cool, so they can waste a ton of resources generating games no one will ever play. Absolutely fantastic. I can’t think of one possible way the Unity devs could better spend their time than this new slop generator.

"The End of UX", as I've been calling it, continues apace. 😭

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

God, screw Unity am tired of this engine.
I want this engine to crash and burn.

This chart may bring joy upon you.

Yeh I don't think so. If the AI tools that Unity already has are any indicator, i don't think it'll work.
