@beardalaxy @Mr_NutterButter Except that it isn't just the corporations using AI. Anyone can use it.

@beardalaxy I want employees who understand my company's values and won't backstab me.

@djsumdog @nicholas @r000t Wal-Mart is only big because of corporate welfare and eminent domain abuse. None of that is a result of capitalism.

@matthew The video I linked is from Primeagen.

Little late to this, but I see nobody talking about this. It looks like Devin (the LLM that claimed that it can replace software engineers) is a scam.

>Even God's Disdain wasn't done purely solo, though.

I know that, but I remember you saying that After Midnight would be a one-man studio because you couldn't keep everyone to stick around.

>I am and probably always will be a game dev hobbyist. It would be awesome to make money doing it, but I'll always work on them regardless.

I wish I can say that, but given how many game dev hobbyists eventually have to give up on the hobby, I feel like it's necessary to make some money. I notice that most of them give up after their first child.

@beardalaxy I'm trying to think if there is anything that would make open-world design much easier. The only think I could think of is using a procedural generation algorithm to assist in creating the world and characters, but that obviously has it's own problems (even with AI).

I don't think open world games should be done solo. I bet even most total-conversion mods for open-world games are done collaboratively by people over the Internet, not in an "open-source" type way, but more of anyone can join but must keep the development stuff classified type way.

Also, the whole 6-10 years thing made me realize that I might not be even able to make video games in 6-10 years. I always remind myself of Pixel not being able to make a full sequel to Cave Story and having to make Kero Blaster (a much smaller game) instead because he has a full-time job and family now. It's kind of the reason why I want to make some money off of my games so I can still have some time to work on them, even though there will ALWAYS be someone who will scold you if you do anything for profit.
