This is possible, but mostly for generating assets in the somewhat same style that you already have. Problem is that AI models are not good at tracking state of multiple entities on one image including 2.5 Flash Image. If you actually want

5 years ago you could install custom rom and still use 99% of apps with it. Now with Google "safety" and "certification" features you won't be able to use most of financial apps and a lot of non financial apps too.

Little correction: obviously not hundreds of wishlists, but hundreds of thousands. You need at least 100,000+ to even be considered to have a successful Steam page.

Technically Steam itself dont enforce any DRM on any games. Period. Unfortunately legal situation is not that different on any platform. GOG gives you offline installers and avoid technical DRM measures in all games, but that's about i

Valve did not do anything for Always-on DRM other than allowing it to exist on platform. On Steam itself DRM barely exists.

Nothing of what Steam provides costs 30%. Discoverability and free marketing only provided to games that are already successful and have hundreds of wishlists. That's only possible to achieve if you game already have it's own foll

This step is certainly not missing. And yeah I somewhat simplified the agreement not to go into details. Usually publishers that invests money take 80-90% or even 100% before full recouperation of investments. This usually includes not only

You really missing my point here. Problem with platforms is that platform-holders are taking bigger cut from a small struggling companies than they take from likes of EA or Ubisoft. If you look at majority of small and mid-size game develop

If your game is not on Steam (or big consoles) it doesn't exist. Platforms like Itch are only useful for part-time solo developers who trying to earn their $100 or $10 for ramen. Can be good marketing for solo developers too, but you o

As consumer I very much agree with you, but as game developer 30% is abysmal amount of money. Imagine you're indie developer or owner of a small 3-10 people studio that finally released reasonably successful game: 1 - Let's sa

Gamedev is just very poor industry. Think of your usual FAANG salary and divide it by 5. Or just any random software engineer job and devide salary by 2. There are companies like Epic Games that pay competetive salaries, but they are few. G

For once LLMs are good for building game prototypes. When all you care is to check whatever something is fun to play it really doesn'a matter how much of tech debt you generate in process. And you start from the stratch all the time so

This heavily depends on what project and stack you working on. LLMs are amazing for building MVPs or self-contained micro-services on modern, popular and well-defined stacks. Every single dependency, legacy or proprietary library and every
