>To write off the entire non-AAA space as only wanting to write shovelware even as a first game is laughable. Clearly I'm not - as I mention hollow knight. >Equally, if the original commenter is happy with x being good enough then that's valid. Maybe the game isn't for you? Clearly it isn't for me, as I'd have to listen to the above sort of garbage music and would hate the time spent, regardless of the game itself. > The implication of my first reply is if you're at such a level you can do that There are lots of people who have great ideas and even iterations on a game that isn't there yet, but who fail in graphics, audio, and overall design because they underestimate how important those are to user experience. I would never say "I'm so glad I have access to copilot, now I can make a game with next to zero effort" but the guy I replied to thinks he can get a score worthy of being in a game from a machine learning model. The easy part overrides everything and we get (or are going to get) huge collections of shovelware from people who see how easy it is to produce.
