He's obviously made up his mind, why don't we just cut our losses, and get out of here.

DAMN.. no need to be that harsh lol

First it's no one's job to help me, I chose to work on this project as a passion. if it will flop or succeed? only time will tell.

What GrimForge is now is basically a rough sketch in progress, there's a reason I still call my drops INDEV.

Now I still try to figure the game's identity, at first I put my focus on making a basic minecraft-like engine and to kick things off from there.

The reason I'm already publishing those rough sketches is also to see what other people  think I should add into the game or report for bugs I don't notice initially.

Just calling this small project of mine a "lost cause" from the get go is straight up mean for no actual reason, I haven't forced you to try or test it, I just put a concept on the table so people can try it and get their impression on  it.

I hope you have a great day and I'm sorry my project hasn't picked your interest.

Regardless, thank you for at least giving it the time of day.

Sorry if I came off as a little too mean. I don't really care how good or bad the game is. I'm mostly just upset with the use of any Generative AI being used. And also, what I said was a direct reference to a television series. So don't take it to heart.

Developer

I understand and get your concern, I only use AI to translate my ideas into code. I'm like very new to C++ and also try to learn it in the meantime so I can be less dependant of AI in the future.

I'm still strongly against using ai to make images or sounds or anything an artist should do,  any art and sound in the game were made by me without the involvement of AI generator.

I'm also with talks with my cousin who does music and stuff to make the soundtrack for this project.

100TheGuy, I know you're quoting some show I've never watched but without that context this post comes off really weird, it's like you think we all share your opinion and are in some sort of group with you when that is not at all the case. Like, yes I'm opposed to the use of AI, but calling the dev a "lost cause"? Really? Why the hell would that be the case? It'd be nice if they just learned to code without using AI like people have been doing for decades, but they're very clearly not some ultra AI-obsessed techbro or anything, so there's nothing about this that screams "lost cause". Furthermore, it's not "our job" to do anything, it's the dev's choice to use AI, even if we disagree with it. I'm going to continue to follow the development of this game, and will not be getting "out of here".
