Read the comments on this post. The anti-AI crowd is completely delusional. Super Smash Bros. Melee being 100% decompiled is a huge accomplishment. AI helped accelerate the work, and people are calling the result “slop” because Claude was involved. At this point it doesn’t even matter whether you like AI. This is happening anyway. Arguing against AI in game development is like arguing for horses when cars arrived, or typewriters when computers showed up. You can hate the technology as much as you want. It doesn’t stop everyone else from using it. Five years from now, game devs who completely refuse to touch AI will be obscured into nothingness. There will obviously still be successful games made without AI, just like there are still people making things by hand today, but they’ll be the exception, not the norm. GPT Astra has accelerated this even further. It’s the best model I’ve used for game dev so far, and the important part is that it won’t stay the best for long. Models that feel capable today will be surpassed by even better ones tomorrow. I have zero idea how to code, yet I can already build things in hours that would have taken me months or required hiring developers before. Imagine what this looks like after another five years of model improvements. This is only the beginning. You can adapt or you can spend the next few years calling everything “slop” while the rest of the industry moves on.
