There's a lot of great advice in this thread. My take, after 30 years in the industry and stubbing my toe a lot: 1. Make as many small games as possible, but also mod as many games as possible and/or take existing games and tweak&

The breadth and (for lack of a better term) concreteness are just fantastic. Thank you for writing this!

(Author) Good point! I picked the top categories by mentions. 24 entries that mentioned "code" or "copilot" (out of all total disclosures), and a third of them actually went out of their way to state that there was NO AI

I remember that one—was always sad that Rampant didn't go on to make more games, but it seems like Jay went on to do some cool stuff in other areas.

I love the voice quality, and have been talking with a bunch of other game devs about how this and other TTS solutions have been making remarkable strides recently (also visited your GDC booth this past week!). Some years ago now, I worked

I've found that bouncing back and forth between text-davinci-003 and davinci can kinda split the difference. Start out by asking 003 to write you a story (T=1.0, ~100 tokens), and then switch to davinci (T=0.75) for another hundred, th

Not the author, but tangentially relatedly, using GPT-3 and Midjourney together is a bunch of fun. Here's a Penny Arcade comic strip generated using both: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xfluFTKoMM5Avm9Nfk
