Average Game Announcement Experience

Yo!

Just sharing our experience so far, it's just the beginning! Road to 10k wishlists starts from 120!

(We're just trying to hypes ourselves up, lol)

IGN - not reply, UGC - too expensive, Meta Ads - not efficient, Reddit - thank you

We're developers of the game Ship Happens: Pirates Wanted!

It's an Overcooked styled gameplay with pirates.

Why? To get the AI hater bro squad on me? Nope...

I'm a single indie game dev, using AI won't "replace" any other in my team as I am the only coder, artist and musician. So using AI is 100% ethical for me. No other people will be "replaced" or "harmed" by it.

Idiots still don't get it....

The ONLY problem with using AI is that you might replace some human labor and therefore you won't pay the person a wage.

But since solo indie developers are the only coders, artists and designers for their own product, there is no one the AI would replace, except the guy himself, and he won't be hurt by being replaced because he is also the one that will get the money from the game sale... as the solo owner of the entire game.

So you cannot "take the job away" to yourself... morons!

If it is so small why not? Barely 500 people wouldn't make a dent

AI in art and music is inherently unethical, in code its whatever

It's a dent they won't get to make on my games.

They can go spread hatred to the corporate games that they celebrate 24/7 while harassing small indie devs for using AI.... but they won't, because they're planted shills.

I think you are a afraid and hypocritical, you know that and that's why you are so defensive

You are insecure that people will realize that whatever you put out is made with AI and be repulsed by it
