I'm a 3d artist trying to solo gamedev in either UE or Unity
I can't code for the life of me
Not lazy, I'm just too focused on art creation to learn c# or c++
SO! With the breakthroughs and advancements you've seen in AI and LLM's, do YOU sincerely believe games could be prompt-engineered in the foreseeable future?
If I can create the art and assets and let AI code for me, my life would be astronomically easier.

The other way round maybe. AI creates art and you code
I've seen AI code but I have yet to see it touch 3d.
No. At this point they are assistants you need to actually know what exactly you want and check the generated code and work in sections which you also only can do if you have an actual idea what modules the potential game would need
What about in five years?
In five years people who can code and know enough about 3d to get into generating 3d models(yes models can do this easily) will be too far ahead and anything you could think up will already have been done or in the works
Learn to code you dont need to be advanced, just good enough to prompt gpt like he said it should take you a month if you're willing to practice 2 hours a day
>do YOU sincerely believe games could be prompt-engineered in the foreseeable future?
Games are a work of labor like a painting. You can prompt 3d models with textures right now or make a system to do so easily. To do something out of the box though you will need more than prompts. It will be at least 15 years before you get the holodeck or whatever.

Where are you bots getting these numbers from?
Nope, it's near worthless for code. It might be able to generate 2d assets one day if anybody puts enough effort into it.
Have you tried code interpreter?
I have been using ChatGPT to write unity scripts for me. But I did learn how to program and it's more I am directing it to write what I want. It's pretty useful. The best way to learn unity is just to make small projects, follow some tutorials and you should be able to start making things in 3-6 months. AI will make it easier once you know how to program
I learned UE and C++
Both the engine and language are a nightmare for me
I mean, for the kind of game I want to develop, UE seems like the engine.
But at the same time, Unity seems like it's taking AI more seriously
What are your problems with C++?
Pointers and always having to check for null, mostly.
Are you using smart pointers?
Interesting. Not really familiar with UE programming, but typically pointer issues tend to be way more common in C than C++.
Im in the other team... junior unity dev here.
Do you recommend me learn Blender or something else, any recommendation?
Or continue with the dev path?
in the distant future, you describe what you want and maybe give some sample images that will establish a baseline appearance and it will shit out a best guess of what you were talking about.
>SO!
why do they talk like this
