Frontier models are getting very good at building highly complex games, and in relatively short order.\n2. Due to a lack creative direction, almost none of these games are remotely fun, and you can usually feel it within seconds of starting to interact with them.\nThis is not to say \"ai game = bad\". I used ai heavily on a game I released to Steam, and I'm quite proud of it! Just to say that being able to dump out a game in 2 hours is technically impressive, but a \"good\" game is so much more than just \"a program that does what you intend it to do\". Most of what makes a game fun still takes a lot of time, testing, iteration, and taste.\nYou can see this on Steam. A lot of \"slop\" games that jump on trends, and often have poor ratings even if they manage to get a lot of reviews. But I can't imagine it will stay that way. Curation just needs to adapt to times.\nThat said, I'm very excited to see where gaming will go over the next few years! So many more people who may have great ideas for games, and really understand what makes them fun, now have the capability to make them a reality. Maybe we'll _finally_ get some good VR games (pls)?","parent_id":50469007,"replies_count":2,"hn_url":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50470881"},{"id":50470551,"author":"lavendermon","created_at":"2026-11-12T17:05:48.000Z","text":"Just tried to load a couple games and received error 1027 - rate limited - you need to upgrade your Cloudflare plan.","parent_id":50469007,"replies_count":2,"hn_url":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50470551"},{"id":50469871,"author":"cr125rider","created_at":"2026-11-12T16:21:10.000Z","text":"This is incredible.\nIt seems like the full screen button and mobile support is a bit lacking.
