If anything making such a big deal about it now puts a target on the game's back for either decompilation or Green room cloning that may have otherwise not existed that they just released the fucking demo like they originally planned. You know how valve has made it pretty obvious that they've been using Vibe coding get literally no one gives a shit about it or gives them any flat? It's because they don't fucking go around advertising and telling everyone that they use it. I think these guys are making that mistake but in the opposite direction. This announcement imo basically guarantees that someone is going to do it just for the Lolz or out of spite for restricting the demo to "a closed play session for a limited number of participants." (Ie. Only people we like have the privilege to test it early now. Sucks to be everyone else)
>>110093517tl;dr
>>110093622>Dev planned game demo before launch>Recent LLM decompilation scared them>"No more demo. Was scared someone's going to copy our game" Which is stupid logic because if that's really their concern then they're only delaying the inevitable. If they're really concerned about someone doing a green room clone or a straight up decomp-recomp port then that's impossible to prevent from being possible. ESPECIALLY if you're releasing the game on steam. Making such a big deal about it is only going to give people more reason to do it just because and put your game on the radar of the very people you're afraid of
dev sounds based and OP is a faggot
>>110093517>tranime gambling "game"I'm tired, Hitler.
>>110093705>Making such a big deal about it is only going to give people more reason to do it just becauseLiterally thisAnd if people want to slop up what is essentially buckshot roulette with jirai-kei girls then they could do it right now
>>110093517BasedFuck trans anime gamesThis is a vibeGOD victory We will decompile your games and there’s nothing you can do about it
>>110093517who would bother copying this shit, waste of tokens
>>110093517Closed Source is deadbtw. it is SI, not AI
If you dont want your game to be mercilessly copied immediately, then strive to release on physical media
>>110093517OK, the free market grieves your loss of profit, bitchass commies
>>110093843>cuck coders in a few months when they can't afford tokens
>>110093843WTF IS THIS RRREAL?
>>110093517fuck off to /v/ faggot.
Good marketing strategy, this will get way more eyeballs than any shitty demo would.Genius big brain move.
Got me to look it up, it's so simplistic no one even needs to decompile it to know how to recreate the gameplay
Marketing stunt.
>>110094534Average modern game dev budget use:>99% to marketing>1% to actually developing the gameMany such cases. Sad!
>>110094503>decompiles your game and publishes its source code, for freeNothing personel, trans
>>110093938>btw. it is SI, not AIsure it is, buddyhttps://youtu.be/RJHctyXPmkg
>>110093517That doesn't even make sense. Do they have a unique genius mechanic nobody has seen before? Of course not. So the game is its contents, the level design etc. and not anything that the AI can steal, especially from a demo.Sounds like they ai slopped a game instead of making it the real way and now worry that because they aimaxxed, someone else's ai will be able to repeat the same things they do just by using the same proooompts.
>>110093792>sees anime>think of cutting off cocksYou're sick man. Get help.
>>110095001it's a marketing tactic, and not a new one either. you'd never have heard of it otherwise.
>>110093517I’ve been thinking about this and I came to the conclusion that this must have been a case where the full game was actually in the demo files, and they just walled it off for the demo. Some games do this and there have been cases where the full game was unlocked from the demo.I bet they’re afraid of someone doing that with AI so they took it down.
>>110095719People would do that without ai, too.
>>110095001>So the game is its contents, the level design etcIt looks like Hazbin Hotel but as a video game
>>110093517Good. FUCK them. Best games already came out. CDDA, Dwarf Fortress, AOE2, STALKER Anomaly etc. FUCK your game and fuck your gay ass company
>>110093517thats pretty smart actuallyperhaps they should try stadia style remote play for some actual demoat least you cant inspect memory
>>110097289Jesus fuck, your taste is 2000 late
>>110093517this is just stupid fearmongering. in the game that got stolen, they put the ENTIRE GAME into the demo and guarded it with an if statement basically. you didn't need llms to get it stolen
>>110093517Buy an ad.
>>110093517>vtuber anime avatar gooner gambling gameHow pretentious can you be. He acts like his game is some masterpiece he has to keep safe. If someone wanted to they could recreate from screenshots and a trailer alone.AI didn't suddenly stop other games and indie games from releasing just fine.
>>110093517What a retard. Nobody would have tried to copy this shit, but now people will actually do it
>>110097871Its just that I'm not going to buy your new game is all. I know.
>>110093517If your game is so basic that an LLM copy can easily reach your quality in terms of visuals, music, mechanics etc. then it's not a great game to begin with.
>>110093517>gooner game clone could be vibecoded in mere hoursImagine my shock.
He drew attention to himself now cut off his penis.
>>110093517this looks like a vibe coded game to begin with
>>110093517I don't know that game, but the whole decompiling scare is a psyop prelude to justify software streaming, just like others already said.
>>110093517oh it's this game. I always thought it was weird how every single fan art of this game skyrockets in algorithm with like 40k+ likes and it's not even released yet. Even getting attention like this, they must be 'masters' at marketing
>>110093517Game dev is over, it was always torture, but indies are having mental breakdowns over AI cloning because it's getting too goodYears of work just for it to all go down the drain because some thirdie with a Claude subscription can take a screenshot, a list of ideas or a demo build and generate a competitor instantlyOnly AAA studios have a moat (for now)If they were any smart they should've seen it coming though
>>110100012Fuck indies with their pixel nostalsalgiafagging metroidvania roguelike depression quests. They take good games from the 80s and 90s miss the entire point and expect everyone to suck tbeir dick for it
>>110100012Indies should just scale up the existing prod to the existing AAA levels, since the AI lowers the dev cost and reduces the dev time. And the existing AAA should become AAA(x100, or w/e productivity increase level the shovel sellers claim).
>>110100039that would require indie devs to have AAA skills which, they of course don't, and by the time they acquire them AI generations will surpass what they can do manuallythe future of gaming is just prompting AI to build a game world from a few ideas and references for basically free, and that's a good thing
>tfw jensen anticipated this and started Geforce Now years in advance to be ready for the full retreat to a cloud gaming only future
>>110100259Why would anyone bother with cloudtrash when they just download a vibe coded local clone? You don't even need to use your own tokens, just download one someone else prompted.
>>110100318Because consumer hardware can't run the slopclone.
>>110100330>claude don't raytracenow it can
>>110093517If your game can be cloned to a level of sloppers enjoying it like the original its probably a low effort game that shouldve been free to play anyway. Slippers wont be able to come close to titles like GTA5, Witcher 3 or KCD2. Too large and feature rich.
This is just obfuscation. Indie devs have been getting the message that the data does not support demos as a good business strategy and they just want an out to change their mind. On paper Denis help increase a games visibility, but what makes them do great for customers, the ability to decide if a game is right before purchase, actually ends up with lower sales overall. Indies have further been abandoning demos or making them pre release only before taking them down.
>>110100330Why not? Cult of the lamb can run on a fucking potato and I'm confident I could Port that shit to Android in an afternoon and it would run buttery smooth. Indie games are probably the easiest kinds of games to do this for because they're typically already targeting low-end hardware for the most part.
>>110094534I doubt the nipp(les) are that smart when it comes to copyrights. They love that shit.
>>110093517Big doubt.Five bucks they actually cancelled a demo because they KNOW people are going to give them shit for the localization given what happened for their previous game. The devs have clearly been spending too much time in a circlejerk discord server.
>>110093517>knee-jerk reaction imo.Nah, they're in the right. Imagine crafting your game, putting your heart and soul into it while some smelly goober faggot in his mother's basemenet using her credit card recreates your game off of a demo and it gets more attention then your original game, and since in this economy attention = money, you start losing money or don't make any. If reverse engineering and generation is trivial, then there's no incentive to make anything new, everything will just be regurgitated and eating its own shit.Don't be surprised that cloud gaming is the norm in a few years and all physical media/downloads are not allowed by developers/publishers for fear of fast cracking/reverse engineering.
>>110103883>If reverse engineering and generation is trivial, then there's no incentive to make anything new, What a sad way to view life in general. >"Something exists to make the process of doing X easier therefore there's no point because *I* want everyone to do it the old way". I don't get this pearl clutching mentality at all.... Imagine if authors around the time of the printing press through their hands up and became all said and mopey because now producing literature is a lot easier. Not that they're getting replaced. Just the fact that doing it at scale is easier. Pro AI bros are not antenna hold a gun to your head and say "I can do X now therefore you're not allowed to anymore". If AI being a thing is enough to demoralize you it's not doing it anymore, you never truly like doing it in the first place and just liked the idea or prospect of being popular I guess. Stop putting yourself on such a high pedestal and just do what the fuck you like doing. Like what did you only get into doing this types of things because of the chance that someone could suck your dick and compliment how special and creative you are? Why can't people just do their hobbies and not "need" external praise and approval? Maybe I'm too much of an autist to understand how normies think.
>>110104908>Imagine if authors around the time of the printing press through their hands up and became all said and mopey because now producing literature is a lot easier.yeah it's not like authors today have any problems with ai
>>110093517I don't get why indies have to post WIPs and demos like months before their release. This is not how you generate hype. Just post a trailer, keep the demo for when your game is also completed.
>>110093517AI WILL MAKE GAMES DAY 1 PLAYABLE HOLY FUK
>>110093517dev should focus on castrating the faggot artists that don't tag/mention the game on the fanart they do, probably fumbled way more people than a slop copy cause these fags are allergic to giving a modicum of context to their art posts
>>110093622gaming 'news' is all slop dumbed down for npcs. it's fake news.They will make a literally who dev into a headline, make this literally who's opinion seem like a bigger deal than it is to push for an agenda, then pay a hundred shills to spam that agenda on /v/.
>>110093517This is pathetic. If you aren't confident your game has something to offer that can't be copied with a prompt, you already done fucked up.This is probably just schizophrenia (very common among software developer males who wear dresses) and/or a marketing strategy.
>>110093843>>110094909>still it with the chomijuget lost grandmas, *tips menora and unleashes katana behinds you*
