Hello, good people.
I saw the link to here in some of the game developers/testers forums at Facebook. I didn't check the name of the person that posted it, so thank you, unknown good fellow! :)
As most of us are I've been fascinated with games since the 8bit era, trying to create little things here and there including a tabletop version of Archon and a complex variation of Monopoly :) I've tried doing things in Unity and Unreal, but I've never had the chance of creating a "full" game until the current AI development. Creating scripts one by one initially with ChatGPT, but then finding Claude code was really a blessing. Trying my best to avoid the AI slop drama and really create something that I believe is nice.
I would be happy to receive constructive criticism and opinions of normal people, and of course, give back to the community wherever I can. I see there are multiple other venues to explore in the forum as well, so I'll start checking them out gradually.
Welcome, do make yourself at home :)
A small note re AI and how we deal with it here. We have a general policy in favour of encouraging human-made stuff: consequently at the moment things like space in our community newsletter are reserved for human coded and arted projects and if we run community events those are also human-made stuff only, but you're absolutely welcome to post about and discuss projects that do use LLMs on the forum as long as you disclose what you're doing and it's used thoughtfully. :)
If there's anything you'd like to know about this place or how we do things then please do just ask: looking forward to seeing more about your projects when you get a chance!
Thank you, Jubal.
Understood. Yes, I will make full disclosure about the AI and its usage.
As a person that feels a creative urge, but has limited coding and artistic capabilities I perceive ai as a tool to bring ideas to life. I am fully aware of the human-first approach and would always prefer working with other fellow enthusiasts, but so far none of the numerous projects I've tried with other people through the years did not lead to a complete, finished and published product.
I would be extremely glad to find people here that I could work with, not only seek gametests and promotion.
