Dude spent $2.3k in 24 hours with LLMs to make "World of Warcraft 2D Topdown", and the result is awful (has barely any functionality).

With that, he could hire a pixel artist that would make a full set of characters and tilesets (and a sounds guy to make some sound effects), and could create something way more polished even with Construct.

But I imagine he would NEVER ever even pay $10 for an artist and would consider it "expensive". Why do these ppl lack so much taste?

Screenshot from X:
this is what 24 hours of Fable 5 can do

context:
- World of Warcraft inspired 2D game
- faithful recreation of the game mechanics
- questing, leveling, loot, bags, rare/elite mobs, etc

this is all working incredibly well already

i'm now traveling for the next week but will keep this running and bring GPT 5.6 Sol into the mix to speed up progress and avoid hitting Claude limits

Codex generated the pixel art already btw.

music/sfx will obviously be replaced, this is just a PoC

so far about $2k worth of Fable 5 + $300 Codex for image gen btw — Screenshot from X: this is what 24 hours of Fable 5 can do context: - World of Warcraft inspired 2D game - faithful recreation of the game mechanics - questing, leveling, loot, bags, rare/elite mobs, etc this is all working incredibly well already i'm now traveling for the next week but will keep this running and bring GPT 5.6 Sol into the mix to speed up progress and avoid hitting Claude limits Codex generated the pixel art already btw. music/sfx will obviously be replaced, this is just a PoC ---- ---- so far about $2k worth of Fable 5 + $300 Codex for image gen btw

@alfredbaudisch for $2300 I could spend a couple of weeks making something that would work way better than that. It would probably still be trash, but it would be *hand-crafted* trash!

@alfredbaudisch Not sure about taste, spending this much on genai is beyond the realm of sanity. He has a bigger problem.

@landelare he probably sells courses about AI, his title is "Build Apps With AI".

"How to Build Your First App With AI. One Free Lesson a Week."

I regret opening X. It's all about this * now.

* This time, "this" being: "generating the whole game, including 2D/3D art and sounds with LLMs, with a single prompt".

@alfredbaudisch Thank you for the nightmares I'll have about this abomination tonight.
