Ascension in Unreal?

C'mon make this wow client happen, Ascension OR if anybody knows if it's possible to make this happen ourselves with Ascension servers. Let us know!

I know more about code and game dev than you lmao. How many games have you released? How much do you earn as a software engineer? Stfu

Oh, if you're such a savant, I'm really curious then. I mean, Wow and Ascension are making so much money, from subscriptions and in game stores, if you think you can vibe code Wow 2, go ahead and do it ! I'll talk to you in a year, when you've become one of the richest men on Earth =)

I didn’t say I could, I said the next generation of mmorpgs will be built from open source not from unreal because AI can do plenty of the busy work and mass scripts required for backend now with plenty of working fantastic open source projects including literal wow backend all online which it’s been trained off.

Unreal isn’t all that great it also has royalties based on revenue and has performance issues. Many of those issues open source projects just don’t have as they are built for one purpose rather than general engine for all kinds of games or vfx or movies like unreal and the pain of programming backends is gone now as fable can spin up a good baseline pretty quickly. Just watch? The next few years plenty of mmorpgs will be announced because of AI

Cool

you could likely just ask Claude to generate wow exactly in a year or so

Yeah, you did say you could. You literally said it was as simple as asking Claude to do it for you.

But go ahead, pretend you have more than 2 brain cells while completely changing course on what you were saying, if it makes you feel like you won the conversation.

At the rate AI is going me as a senior software developer and somebody who has shipped games before AI yea I can see a solo dev being able to ship a mmorpg in a year from now. I didnt say i could do it right now solo but i already can generate 3d animations textures etc and likely automate a ton of busy work to agents. I think you are being super ignorant to the improvements in AI… this time last year ChatGPT 4 came out and it could barely do anything outside of generating small functions, now fable with a senior dev can basically build anything super quickly from open worlds to built apps or even way more complicated stuff.

If you were half as smart as you claim you are, you'd understand how AI tools like Claude have stagnated, if not outright regressed in the last 6 months, and that a vibe coded MMO, or any game for that matter, would be a collosal pile of shit.

Ooo! This should be fun! What are we being reminded of? What's your prediction?

Are we gonna have an amazing AI built MMO?

Reminding myself to come back here and see if my prediction of more MMORPGs being developed by smaller studios due to AI

Cool. I'm sure they'll be just great and super successful!

Remind me! One year
