How long have you been making games? Cuz that shit is sick mate

[@AndrewDavidPyle]

@@cowl6867 I’ve been toying with game development for over 10 years, but I didn’t really step up my game and properly learn to program until around 2020. Anyone can get as good as I have with enough practice, but my true passion has always been more towards design than actual programming. I feel like I’m only just scratching the top of the iceberg, but I really appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm :)

[@ArtemiusMiave]

Hey @@AndrewDavidPyle, i was just curious but what line of work are you in? i'm assuming something design related.

[@AndrewDavidPyle]

@@ArtemiusMiave If only! The game industry and similar positions using my skills are very competitive and require a bachelors degree and several years of experience at minimum. My professional work hasn’t gone much further than various teaching/instructional positions and just recently entry-level marketing. Without an impressive portfolio and a bachelors degree, there’s little time for game dev outside hobby and freelance gigs. Not to discourage anyone from getting into it haha

The funniest for me is Prompt Engineer. I mean sure you can come up with names for it but engineer or Ai artist is just so wrong lol. (Also an actual Ai expert is very good at coding a bunch of complex Ai concepts, probably not someone who just uses Ai services)

[@niktniewiem4785]

​​@@roggos3668there is a certain knowledge involved in prompting to get the best results. I've used some chatgpt plugins and I was surprised how elaborate prompts they give you and how drasticaly it changes the resulsts. Sure, you can learn how to write such prompts, but it takes some time to sit and use AI and research what works best and you have to have at least an idea how AI work. If you don't want mediocre results and don't have time to try many many times to get something at least decent out of AI, then why not pay for it?

Why would you pay someone to put a prompt into chat gpt?… You got scammed man

[@Icu282]

Yeah I don't really understand. If he paid someone to make a good scenario for an AI like AI dungeon I could maybe understand, because ChatGPT isn't really made for a big roleplaying experience like that, and it might be hard to come up with details to make it go through an interesting roleplaying experience. But asking ChatGPT to come up with a game idea is as easy as talking to it like you would a child xD. Asking it questions or telling it things (like come up with a game with x mechanic, or can you come up with a game concept with x concept?) then if it doesn't understand, explaining what you really wanted it to do.

To me, 1 and 4 looked very cool. 1 seemed to be really cool in terms of intense puzzle and problem solving, while 4 having much cooler concepts but seemed a bit on the easier side due to switching gravity holding you in place.
