GeorgeCrudo · x · 2026-10-09
AI game creator GeorgeCrudo publicly sparred with 3D artist Marco (AIandDesign). Marco suggested learning to model, using free/purchased assets, or hiring someone—making a good game requires investing time or money. George fired back: what would it cost to hand-model a game with 11 realms, dozens of complex models, and multiple enemy types? Marco's answer: roughly $250-300, sparking debate over AI creation costs versus artist pricing.
