The AI in these examples is mashing up existing IPs: the models, textures, animations and sounds are all pulled from other games. They're not made from scratch.

If you consider that "producing a polished game" then I can produce a polished game with a DVD burner and a Steam account.

There is zero indication that that will ever happen. It takes a lot more to create a polished game like Assassin's Creed than telling a chat bot to "make it fun" while using stolen game assets. It's cute to watch mario run around in call of duty (https://www.dexerto.com/call-of-duty/call-of-duty-fan-create...) but most of the AI mashups people are putting out like that recently are basically unplayable garbage. It's fine, it's mostly for laughs and likes/views anyway, but the idea that people with zero experience in making games are going to be vibe coding games that are worth playing and on par with the best Ubisoft titles is ridiculous

This is an opinion that is only plausible if you completely devalue video games as an art form.

Will you prompt the movies you want instead of watching a movie made by someone else? Will you prompt the novel you want to read? It’s nonsensical in other art form, it’s nonsensical in video games too unless you go for the lowest common denominator friendship or similar.

Making games is extremely hard. The programming is the easiest part. Your comment really undersells how difficult making a good game is.

My kids less than 10yo both, each have already created their first video game through prompting. It is actually pretty amazing to watch them explore their creativity - and how they interact with AI is fun too. The younger one always starts with "Dear AI, I want you to..."

Kids already grew up playing lofi Roblox so this seems like the obvious future. There’s already so many free games on the App Store and web
