Unbeatable AI Ruins My Game

Jonas Tyroller 2023-03-17 | ➤ Thanks to GameMaker for sponsoring the video - Download GameMaker for free and start today: https://opr.as/GM-Jonas2
➤ Download the BROINK project files from Git: github.com/LooveToLoose/BROINK

I made a competitive PvP game. Then I realized I don't have any friends (who can beat me) so I made an unbeatable AI to play against. Let's just say I learned some new lessons here. Be careful what you wish for, it might ruin your game. Lol.

Besides that, this billiard like game turned out surprisingly classy and fun, so I decided to publish it as public domain (or CreativeCommons0 to be more precise), so you can do with my game files whatever you want. I'm curious to see what you come up with (see link above).

I hope you enjoy the video!! Thanks for watching! :)

The Cr[AI]tive Revolution - The Future of Art (Full Documentary)

Jonas Tyroller 2023-02-25 | AI is here. Artists, game developers, writers, voice actors, video creators... All creative industries are about to be rattled up like never before. What does this mean for creatives? How can you prepare? What does the future hold? In this full length (and ad-free) documentary I want to invite you to a deep dive into the topic of AI. I don't have all the answers, but we need to start having a nuanced discussion about this right now before it's to late!

Jonas Tyroller 2021-11-26 | There is so much great productivity advice out there, yet here we are procrastinating away and feeling bad about ourselves. Perhaps we can apply some lessons from game development to this problem? I think it might be time for a new way to think about productivity.
