my experience (so far) using chat-gpt-powered bing for gamedev

I will preface this with it’s only been a couple of days but good lord, I have jumped in productivity by who knows how much.

“computer… make me a uhh…”

When the words “I use chat gpt for gamedev” leave my fingertips I feel like there’s a weird image in my head where people might think you tell the chatbot to write you up a whole game but even with the most specific prompt, there is still a ton of work to be done my friend. I just remember when I started learning digital art and people would kind of feel that way about it. Just click on the make game/make art button right?

I want to try outsourcing chunks of a game project to see how it goes.

I don’t really check social media too much and my algorithms make my feeds have the least amount of memes in my friend circle so when I check it and find videos where people are just living their life /cue video of that guy playing guitar hero using an 18 wheeler as a projector screen, it just full-stop makes me reconsider how I’m living life.

After seeing this I weirdly made the realization that most indie developers are pretty much like producers. And I wondered how far I could get with finishing a game if I thought about it as an investment of my time and real money to get a return at the end of it.

But honestly, At this point I’m trying anything to help me finish games my fellow reader. So let’s do this.
