Hi Bluesky games industry๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Stijn, the #solodev at Cat on Keyboard Games based in Belgium. Working part-time on my first game #Leveleers at the moment, a #co-op #adventuregame with escape room like puzzles in an atmospheric isometric world. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #thinkygame #coop

I got tired of people telling me I should use AI to speed up the development of my game. I ran into a problem today, solved it myself first, then tried if AI could do it. Spent all the free credits on this 1 question and the solution didn't work. Using AI as a solo dev is just too expensive.๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ #noai

This one question cost me all the free credits (which apparently is 3 credits = 3 USD/month). The solution didn't work. I could not do follow up questions because I ran out of credits. So I didn't know if AI would have found an actual solution (and maybe the same as my solution).

I didn't use these IDE integrated coding agents before. I'm using Rider so I installed the Jetbrains AI plugin, selected the Junie agent and picked Claude Fable 5.1 (I heard it was one of the best). It's the first time I used AI that could access my code and the engine source code.
