"Corridor shooter set in space". So AI is almost capable of kind of remaking Galaxian badly.

Shaking my computer yelling "live service! extraction mmo! make more moneyyy!"

If I were to list any game I want to make for this I think I’d quickly hit the character limit and still be less than a quarter done. Not like it’d be good and it’d only leave me longing for better.

They probably think the direction is a dropdown menu.

isn’t that ice?

Unity bot make ground corridor, the prequel to space corridor. Unity bot um add “this time it’s personal” vibes. Okay now Unity bot what if the corridor had an exit? Unity bot has informed me that is out of scope. Okay Unity bot now read to my 2 day old son so I can get back to idea guying

I guarantee it can't do that, either.

You'd have better luck making those boxes, pre-filling them with adjectives and genres and making it a party game where you have to describe the resulting video game

Generative AI in video game development really feels like it was designed by the folks who thought there were too many steps between "I have an idea" and "Give me billions of dollars."

Can it do doors though?

Still no dogfooding going on at Unity I see.

Love that the activate button still just lists the default keyboard key on mobile.

Listen, a corridor shooter in outer space, where there are famously zero corridors, sounds wild. Count me in.

Also its missing the "make no mistakes" button

Or they will add it, it will not be what anyone is thinking or could have wanted, and be pretty much useless except for people who use a very specific tech stack that a lot of people try to shy away from

I wonder if they'll be informing their users that you can't copyright anything this generates

oh good, we have outsourced The Idea Guy to AI

Oh go on, be daring! Head on over and enter "Golden Sun 3", see what happens.

As if Unity did not take enough of a PR beat down a few years ago oh my god, it's a dead platform at this point just throw it away 😭

Sure. I can make a fun game with that prompt. It gives me enough space to fill the gaps with fun… I just come with a price tag and a team of humans.

ATP we should make all our games using valve’s engine and release them in steam

I can't believe they think this is a feature that looks good for devs. Ainnoway. Also what even is the fun x.x

Oh my god xD

When asked if it will result in tons of games being made that are almost identical: “Sure, this kind of democratization means that there will be ... games that are very similar, without a lot of originality or vision – but then again that’s already the current state of the industry anyway.” burn

Wow that AI prompt really describes the game doesn’t it? A corridor shooter set in space… that’s a terrible design brief, AI generated or otherwise.

Unity was dead to me since the "runtime fee" hellfire

Man here comes the slopocalypse! I'm sincerely holding out for a giant pendulum swing back towards authentic original creation better than it's ever been (we were living in the land of joyless clones long before AI)

All of the infinite possibilities for this ad and the moronic AI-bros landed on “shooter in space” lmao what a bunch of creatively bankrupt bitches

It's all so galling and so tiring

The only way we're gonna get Half Life 3 but there will be 300 versions and they'll all suck.

AI: "It took four days and three rainforests but I finally got the game you wanted."

Huh!

Tell an AI to make a Bomberman land game and it'll throw out something that maybe kind of plays like Bomberman, but like, the main series ones. Tell it to add minigames and a story and characters and it'll make a bunch of disgusting gremlin creatures and maybe a suika game.

Wow! It turns out I've been putting in WAY more effort than I needed to! I can't wait to tell my team the good news: "Make Dwarf Underground Survival Game." They'll be overjoyed with this new approach to game direction I'm sure.

It’s like a standalone web version

Seeing big companies launch AI agents this late in the game is like seeing people come out with NFTs at this point hahah Like no doubt they spent tons of money on this, negotiating token prices, and are only now just rolling it out knowing they'll never make that investment back

for me it looks like a water-consuming expensive toy for kids, seriously missed the mark there

They should have to do all the work at a micro level that goes with every idea: "What do you mean I have to decide what happens if the inventory has no items and you have a spell that lets you to keep an item on death, just sort it now, I just wanted to direct!"

The spiritual sequel to The Room, but soulless *as well as* incompetent!

I could probably make that myself…

But what if.. gun hallway
