ugh what is this AI crap 🤮 why would anyone want to pay money for a slop game made with AI cover and music? I know you denied it but I bet everything about this game is AI slop too, just a quick money grab from a lazy “dev” 🤮🤮🤮
Viewing post in Dig-Pit Runner - E1 (Playdate) + free Demo comments
“AI slop”, “lazy dev”… did you actually play Dig Pit Runner?
Quick clarification for everyone: AI was used only for the promo materials and the music.
The game itself (code, level design, Tiled maps, pixel art/animation, balancing) is handmade.
AI doesn’t “make a game in 2 clicks” — it can generate assets, but the work is in directing, selecting, editing, integrating, and polishing.
For the music: I wrote the lyrics and directed the style/structure, then edited and refined the result
If you have specific feedback about the gameplay or visuals, I’m happy to hear it.
Personal insults and “lazy dev” takes aren’t critiques — they’re just noise.
This is very rude. I played this devs air combat on playdate game to 100% completion, and it was better made than most games. It was excellent and clearly had a lot of hand coding and art poured into in it.
Honestly, the guy has been transparent about using it for the music and title art – and I quite like it.
Do I want it in the game? No.
Do I always want the dev to be transparent about any Ai. Yes.
Do I wish he could commission an Illustrator and Musician. Yes. But I also understand these games take a lot of work and rarely make the coder substantial returns.
Show some respect when you comment please.
