Andy Touch @andytouch.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Something I have been thinking alot about lately is the sudden wave of AI vibe-coded prototype games; and how its just increasing the number of games started but not helping with the end funnel of games finished, shipped and being successful. 170
Andy Touch @andytouch.bsky.social · 13/07/2026There are so many sales-influencers posting "I just made an MMO using this new MCP plugin and it's made my game in like 5 minutes!! Gamedev will never be the same again!" But then the prototype-game they show is the same as what people were making before these AI MCP tools multiplied everywhere. 340
Andy Touch @andytouch.bsky.social · 13/07/2026It's always been easy to start making a game prototype. Every off-shelf engine has templates, frameworks, tutorials, etc. You can YouTube any genre you want and there will be a step-by-step course. You don't need to pay for some AI third party wrapper to prototype your idea. 120
Tom Betts @tomnullpointer.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Yeah I don't think its a coincidence that the people who go on about how AI can help them make games better and faster, are often the people who have never actually released any games.. 120
