@0xFlick My game doesn't have code made directly by AI. But it does have music, I just keep wondering what kind of hate I'm going to get :3

That is exactly what worries me.
In fact, I was just mentioning this in another post on the same topic.

Let me share my perspective. I’m just an ordinary worker—a software developer—who spends 8 to 9 hours a day at my job, alongside the time I set aside for my family. But my dream is to create a game out of pure passion, in my spare time—something that everyone can enjoy. Forget the money; I want to create something that people will remember.

Here’s the situation: I’ve been developing a game called "Just Be Alive" since 2021. The artist I work with—whom I call my "wife"—has already completed 80% of the content (which I initially structured using AI to flesh out the concept before the official Steam store page launch), and she has poured an immense amount of time and care into the project. I also use AI-generated music in the game, though I’m not sure if that will change. This might be a sensitive point for those who, for various reasons, don’t appreciate content created with the help of AI. 90% of the work—programming, refining, organizing, and meticulously fine-tuning every mechanic—was done by me. But the music is AI-generated, and, honestly, it’s really good. I don’t want to change that... In my short videos, I use AI to edit my voice, since my English is terrible. And, given that English is the primary language for game distribution, it’s essential for ensuring the project gets enough visibility.

This isn’t marketing; I’m just sharing my side of things so you can see the care I’ve put into this.
In case anyone is curious, here is a mini-trailer for the project:

Folks, this is exactly what I’m really concerned about.

Let me share my perspective. I’m just an ordinary worker—I put in 8–9 hours a day, plus time for my family—but my dream is to create a game with passion, one that everyone will enjoy. Screw the money; I want to make something that people will remember.

Here’s the situation: I’ve been developing a game called "Just Be Alive" since 2021. The artist I work with—whom I call my "wife"—has already completed 80% of the content (which I initially generated using AI to flesh out the concept before the actual Steam release), and she has poured a tremendous amount of time and care into it.
I also use AI-generated music in the project, though I’m not sure if that will change. This could be a sticking point for people who, for various reasons, don’t appreciate content created with the help of AI.

90% of the work—coding, refining, organizing, and meticulously tweaking every single mechanic—was done by me. But the music is AI-generated, and it’s actually really good. I don’t want to change that...
In my short videos, I use AI to edit my voice because my English is terrible. And since English is the primary language for game distribution, it’s essential for ensuring the project gets enough visibility.

This is my game in terms of curiosity:

Here is an example: I began this project using AI-generated art, but today, my personal artist—whom I call my "wife"—has completed 95% of the content, pouring time and care into it.
I still use AI-generated music in the project, though I’m not sure if that will change. And this is a point that might be problematic for people who, for various reasons, do not appreciate content created with the help of AI.

The code is old.. I wrote it back in 2021, but thanks to AI, I now have the time to work at my current job and finally dedicate myself to this game.

I’ve been a developer for 15 years, and I finally have the time to dedicate to my own personal projects. But there’s still one problem: many games are released with AI that is just plain terrible, really poor work.
