AI should handle what slows you down. Not your creative decisions. That is the difference between a tool and a replacement. Catch more conversations like this every Wednesday at 1PM PST: discord.gg/makko 🎮

Old vs. New? Which do you prefer? I got a ton of feedback that the first 90 seconds of my game were WAY too text heavy and way too gameplay light. HUGE THANKS to all the testers! I submit a new start to Sector Scavengers: Signal & Salvage. Link to wishlist in the comments ⬇️.

A little under a month ago I started making an Idle Basebuilding RPG with a Deckbuilding Roguelike Adventure set in space, Sector Scavengers. I published my first Devlog today, the same day that my man Jay Powell talked about how AI is going to drive a golden age of American Efficiency. I hope he’s right, but even if he’s wrong I’m gonna have a hell of a fun time building this game.

I prototyped Sector Scavengers, my Roguelike Idle RPG with a Deckbuilding Adventure, in 10 days with @makkoai , here’s how: 1. First I worked with Makko to define the core game loop in two design documents (Markdown Files). 2. I asked Makko to create a Markdown file with a list of all the assets I needed with example prompts for the art studio. 3. Makko and I generated 4-10 images per art piece and then I choose my favorite, these become concept art for the game collection as a whole. 4. Makko and I generated animations and art for each scene/ui element 5. Makko integrated these assets into the game 6. I will spend the next few weeks tuning , adding animations, and changing game logic to be more fun and entertaining. I’ve written a full devlog below that covers my first 10 days of development. Take a gander if you’re curious and follow along for more content like this!

Would you skip this or read it? Is 7 seconds too long for a tutorial? I'm assuming 1.5 second read time per message. Wishlist Sector Scavengers: Signal & Salvage today on Steam! Link below ⬇️

My take on the impact AI will have on the economics of indies and the artists that support them!
Sector Scavengers | Wishlist on Steam@playmygamesnow

AI gamedev take - real artists will make more money as AI gamedev grows in popularity. Take my game for example. I’ve already invested more than $1,000 in sound and art commissions for the game to polish up the pieces I’m not satisfied with AI output for. I have $6k set aside for a professional trailer and capsule art. Sector Scavengers is a passion project that WOULD NOT EXIST if I couldn’t make it with AI in the evenings. This means that over $7k in work simply would not go the hardworking artists that produce or will produce this content. Someone explain to me how I’m stealing money from artists. You can’t do it. What you can do, and what I see a lot, is stroke your own ego about the Naruto “inspired” art you create that no one wants to buy. More people making games they take pride in enough to pay for polish is a good thing. And the insistence that these people don’t exist at scale is farcical.

Faceless YouTube channels are blowing up, so I built Ghostline. Give it an idea. It makes the script, voiceover, captions, music, and final video locally on your PC. No paid APIs. No camera. No editor.
