Last summer I created my first AI-vibecoded game. Today it is soooo cringy.

A year ago I stumbled on some Image2 3D generators and started making game assets. At the same time I'd worked with Bezi, which was just released by then. So I took this old idea for a VR game I had lying around and then I made a 2D version of it using essentially everything AI-generated and vibe-coded. I remember being so enthusiastic and essentially blown away by the marvelous thing I had created. Not only the 3D assets but the promo videos, the Steam page assets, and creating it all using Unity without knowing how to use Unity.

I felt like king of the world. I felt absolutely invincible. I was so proud of my creation.

Today the rest of the world has kept up and my game, being early, can immediately be identified as AI-generated in every respect. And man alive, it's cringy to look at it. But still I feel happy I created it. I'm proud that I actually went all the way and took a game from my mind into reality, essentially by myself. That was and still is a good feeling.

I truly believe that the future of game development is essentially to sit in front of your computer and talk to it, bringing into reality whatever is in your head as you describe it. I for one welcome that future as long as the tools are good enough to really portray what's in your imagination.
