Been building a game, Runeswick ... a dark fantasy IDLE RPG with offline progress, skilling, crafting, combat, and dungeons, and a big part of making it has been using AI.
I’m not using AI like a “click one button and it makes the whole game” kind of thing. For me, it’s been more like something that helps me work faster and figure things out.
A lot of my process has been:
• Using ChatGPT to help me come up with ideas for systems, progression, balancing, fixing bugs, UI ideas, and planning out features
• Using Cursor to help speed up coding, debugging, and cleaning things up
• Then using my own programming knowledge to test everything, fix what doesn’t work, and actually turn it into a real game
It’s still early, but the game is already fully playable and I’m improving it constantly.
Would love hearing how other people are using AI in their own games too, especially what’s helped or what’s caused issues.
