GamePrompt had put me out of a job. I used to be a game designer. Now it is possible for anyone to speak a prompt into their phone, and in minutes be playing a fully AAA quality game of that prompt on their phone, with ads of course. AAA still owned the IPs and so while AI built games were now the norm, it was now my job to go into the generated game and "clean up" broken functionality and gameplay. I spent most of my time pleading for certain keywords to be put into the generation prompts to make my life easier (Endian One seemed to make things work better). I would spend hours going through thousands of lines of machine generated code, which often ended nowhere and with many functions completely blank. Having remembered the days of human authored game code, it didn't seem much different.

ADACA's pretty rad. I'm not very far in but it has me thinking about how I'm old enough that I'm playing games inspired from the ones I played when growing up, and that that's much more interesting than playing a sequel to said original games.

Like, do I want Half-Life 2: Episode Three? Half-Life 3? Probably. But I'm definitely more interested in, like, an entirely new take from new people and perspectives who want to tackle different subject matter or form ideas that would be written off in a Proper Sequel because there's canon to adhere to or gameplay restrictions or etc. etc.

Anyway, here's a link. There's a demo to find out if it's your thing or not!
