building a video game is mostly saying “that should be easy” right before discovering a completely new category of suffering 👍

making games is getting easier. making a game anyone cares about is still incredibly hard and will remain so.

i recently judged a generative ai game jam at my day job and it reinforced something i’ve been thinking about through my work in tech and game development. faster development definitely increases the signal to noise problem. i even saw games that were nearly identical in concept and execution but the games that were good were genuinely incredible, especially considering how little time people had to make them. when technical barriers start disappearing, the differences in people’s imagination, taste and ability to execute become much more apparent. that’s what i find to be super cool about ai assisted development. the technology is still imperfect but we’re getting to see what happens when the distance between having an idea and bringing it to life becomes dramatically shorter. lowering the barrier to creation doesn’t automatically make everyone equally creative. it makes exceptional creativity easier to recognize.
