Been making effects at Riot and Epic Games now for 10+ years and I have to say, the results we're getting now with ai in terms of quality, without touching the engine at all, rival what I would make by hand
I feel like the job is now, today, 99% art direction, 1% technical
Hayden Christensen says he once got recognized by someone who was robbing his house.
The burglar gave him his stuff back & apologized so Hayden let him have some clothes and a pair of shoes.

@edgecaseyt That’s the purpose of the series, if I’m gonna be using any AI at all i wanna balance it out by also giving back to hard working devs and artists. Even though I’m not anti-AI i still want patient hand crafted stuff to get the recognition and appreciation it deserves.
even though i'm not against vibe coding, i don't want the work of patient hard working devs to get overshadowed or buried.
so if you're a game dev and you want more eyes on a game you've made, send it to me. i'll try to play and shoutout as many as i can.
it'll be for a new weekly video series on my Stentric Gaming channel called "Spotlight Sundays"
i want to support and shine light on as many talented aspiring game devs and small game studios as possible.
just a few rules: the series will only include family friendly games, they must be standalone non-metaverse games (meaning i won't showcase anything on roblox or fortnite etc.), and i won't accept any money to showcase your game in the series it's all gonna be free and not sponsored.
@edgecaseyt Yes I use some AI that was my point with the post that even though I’m not against vibecoding i wanna support devs and game studios as much as possible.
If you worked on Fall Guys in any capacity whether you're still at MT/Epic or not, I just wanna say I really appreciate all of you.
I genuinely would not be where I am today without Fall Guys. Thanks for making this game happen, I could not be more grateful. 🫡
i'll play demos too but i looked at your profile and it seems like you're a big user of AI, which i don't have a problem with but for this series i won't really be showcasing any AI made games especially ones with heavy AI usage. that would kinda defeat the purpose of this series.
I disagree with your decision to flood your main accounts with stuff that your audience didn’t subscribe/follow you for.
All the Kwebbelkop AI stuff you did should’ve been tested on a separate channel. The whole reason it didn’t work is because you did it on your main channel, had you made a whole separate channel called “Kwebbelkop AI” it could’ve worked, but doing it on your main channel confused your audience because that’s not what they subscribed for, and now it’s still harming your views today because some people will just assume that any video you post could be the AI version of you and not the real you, there’s no clear distinction for casual viewers.
Also all of these current posts you’re making on X should be made on a separate X account, so you can keep this account related to your gaming content and that sort of stuff that all your followers followed you for. Maybe make a new X account called “Kwebbelkop Business” or something like that for posts related to AI or your business ventures, etc. and keep your main “Kwebbelkop” account for authentic posts for your fans about your content and personality.
It’s easy to get angry and stressed nowadays and lose sight of things with all the stuff we gotta deal with. but always remember how important your loved ones are to you, thats all that really truly matters. tell someone in your family that you love them this morning.
