Hey guys, I wanted to ask what people generally consider to be AI slop.
I’m currently building a game completely solo, and I’ve been working on it for about 5 months now. I do everything myself all the pixel art, buildings, environments, characters, level design, narrative, etc. I’m also handling the sound and music alongside everything else.
The one area I’ve never been particularly good at is coding, and unfortunately I can’t afford to hire someone to help me with it. Because of that, I use AI to help me with the programming side of development. I still work on the game myself, but AI helps me write and troubleshoot the code.
I’m wondering would people consider a game like this AI slop simply because AI was used for the coding?
I’m genuinely curious because I’ve put a huge amount of time and effort into this project. Since I started, I’ve been learning pixel art, music, level design, narrative design, game development, and pretty much everything else required to make the game myself.
I’m not trying to hide the fact that I use AI for coding. I’m just wondering where people draw the line between using AI as a tool and making an Ai generated game
and how would you know if a game used AI generated codes and nothing else by AI?
Would love to hear what you guys think.

Thanks for the answers.

Hey I'm developing a detective game. It's my first solo project, and I'm a bit lost on the narrative side. I have the core idea, but I'm not sure how to balance realism, the story structure, and player clue gathering.

I actualy don't use outlines but this one has outlines in real life so idk what to do. Would be great if I could get some advices or ideas!! Thank you

I’m already working on a project about a noir pixel art story game.I will be handling the coding, pixel art, and story myself, but would be a great relief if anyone would be interested to be partners in this project of mine. I’m really passionate about this game and it is gonna be my first project ever. For now I’ve got most of the animations of the main character. Looking further for anyone who is passionate about the project!!! Experience doesn’t matter.

I'm having an issue with this color board... What should I try to make it more obvious for arms. Should I change the color palette? How many colors should I use for the coat?

Tek başıma geliştirdiğim, Growtopia ve Pixel Worlds’den ilham alan 2D online bir sandbox oyunu üzerinde çalışıyorum.
Projeyi şu ana kadar tamamen kendim geliştiriyorum ve şu anda özellikle online/multiplayer tarafını geliştiriyorum. Ancak ne yazık ki pixel art konusunda bana yardımcı olabilecek birini henüz bulamadım.
Bu tarzı seven ve projeye benimle birlikte katkıda bulunmak isteyen bir pixel artist arıyorum.
🎨 Yardıma ihtiyacım olan şeyler:
32×32 itemler / bloklar
32×64 karakter sprite’ları
Giyilebilir eşyalar / kıyafetler
Kanatlar ve aksesuarlar
Inventory arka planları ve UI elementleri
Proje geliştikçe ihtiyaç duyacağımız diğer küçük pixel artlar
Temiz ve sade bir 32×32 pixel art stili hedefliyorum. Çok detaylı çizimler yerine, yaklaşık 3 katman gölgelendirme ve 3 katman aydınlatma kullanan daha sade bir stil tercih ediyorum.
💰 Ödeme hakkında
Şu anda bu, bütçesi olmayan tek kişilik bir indie proje, dolayısıyla başlangıçta ödeme veya garanti edilmiş bir maaş sunamıyorum.
Ancak oyun ileride gelir elde ederse, projeye katkıda bulunan kişilerle elde edilen geliri kesinlikle paylaşmayı düşünüyorum. Gelecekte ne kadar gelir elde edileceğini veya ne kadar ödeme yapılacağını garanti edemem; bu yüzden en başından bu konuda dürüst ve şeffaf olmak istiyorum.
Bunun yanında, bunun portföy oluşturmak, pixel art alanında kendini geliştirmek ve gerçek bir indie multiplayer oyun projesinde yer almak isteyen biri için güzel bir deneyim olabileceğini düşünüyorum.
Şu anda programlama, oyun sistemleri ve multiplayer geliştirmesini tamamen kendim yürütüyorum. Bu yüzden projeye benimle birlikte katkıda bulunacak bir artistin olması benim için gerçekten büyük bir fark yaratır.

I’m currently working on a 2D multiplayer sandbox game inspired by games like Growtopia and Pixel Worlds, and I’m looking for volunteer pixel artists who would be interested in helping with the project. The game uses a 32×32 pixel-based style, so familiarity with pixel art and tools such as Aseprite would be a big plus.

This is currently a indie project, so unfortunately I can’t offer payment at the moment. I’m mainly looking for people who enjoy pixel art and would like to contribute to a game that’s being developed from the ground up.

I've been working on a game for about a year now. Most of my frontend and backend systems are already set up, and I'm currently working on the art.

However, I have a question about the multiplayer/online side of things.

I'm using Unity 2D, but I honestly don't have a clear understanding of how the online system works for an MMO. How do players actually connect to the same server/world and communicate with each other?

I've heard about things like networking frameworks, dedicated servers, and backend/server applications that you add to your project, but I'm not really sure what the proper architecture would be for a 2D MMO.

Another thing I'm really concerned about is cheating/hacking. If I implement multiplayer, what's stopping a modified client from giving itself items, changing its position, spawning currency, etc.? How is this normally prevented?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the basic architecture and what I should be learning/using (e.g. networking frameworks, dedicated servers, authoritative servers, etc.).

I'm not looking for a complete solution—I'd just like to understand how the whole system works before I start implementing it.

I’m looking for some examples for my game need 32x32 grass/dirt block would be amazing if anyone can help me with that..
