For years, coding was the gate to game dev.
Not the goal. The gate.
AI just tore it down. Now the only skill that really matters is knowing what makes your game fun!

These past couples weeks I’ve been going through my notes of old game ideas and refining them and making GDDs.
My graveyard has turned into a queue 🤩 What a time to be a game dev 🥲

"Why bother making games anymore? AI can do it all now."
I see this post every week. I think it's backwards.
The wall is gone. Your dream game has never been more possible.
Here's why this is the golden age of game dev ⬇️

I’m just gonna focus on building and have fun making games.
These AI “debates” I see all over this platform are just both sides talking to a brick wall 🧱🙃

Worried someone will clone your game with AI?
Your game is only really at risk if it's shallow, or if it's making money.
Shallow is a design problem. And if it's making money, players already know you're the original.

💯
This might be hard to hear for some but:
Your goal as a Game Dev is to create a great game for your players. Not to feel good about yourself, how you made the game. Rescources are finite and Twitter likes wont feed your family.
The result is what matters, and if the result is great noone actually cares how you got to the result aspecially not your players!
You can still use AI moraly correct in the end of the day you enter the prompts. Its on you if you rip of someones work 1:1 or use it to help you solve a math problem you cant wrap your head around.

I made this demo to test a new feature we’re developing in @rive_app : adding meshes to components. I drew a vector car with Rive’s Brush tool, added a mesh to a texture component, and bound it to the rig. An artboard property lets me swap components on the same mesh. I used Rive CLI to place the car in a 3D scene.

Flash made the web feel alive: Newgrounds, Club Penguin, Line Rider, and splash intros that took forever to load and were worth it. 🕹️
Flash is gone, but the idea behind it lives on in Rive.
You can even drag in your old Animate files, and Rive converts them for you.
🤖 Made with AI
I’m noticing more devs are finally realizing that game design is becoming a more valuable skill than programming.
This is the shift AI made by entering the gaming industry.
Game design brings in taste in your game. It’s what makes your game stand out. Not the code. Not the art.
