Hey there, and thanks for checking out WAVEBEAM!

I've put a lot of effort into working on this game, and have learned a lot about AI coding tools in the process. I know there are a ton of ethical  and environmental concerns about AI tools, and while I agree with all of those concerns, it is undeniable that AI tools are an an irreversible path to becoming ubiquitous within nearly every major industry - which can clearly be seen in today's software and game development industries. My publication of this game should not be misconstrued as any kind of advocacy for AI tools, but rather an example of how they can be properly leveraged to grant a world of capabilities to individuals who would otherwise lack technical efficacy to do accomplish their goals on their own.

I plan on continuing the development of this game - adding new features and making tweaks based on community input - for as long as incoming donations can cover the cost of the AI tools and my time investment. I have a lot of things I'd like to try, and I'll be publishing a roadmap both here and on the discord if folks show enough interest.

Thanks again for checking it out, and please feel free to discuss here or on the discord and let me know what you think!

Sincerely,

Ryan Collins
