AI game dev challenges critic: quote me for hand-modeling 11 realms of 3D assets
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-09
AI designer Marco (@AIandDesign) turned the tables on critics by asking how much a traditional 3D artist would charge to hand-model all assets in his survival horror game 'It Wants You To Stay': 11 realms with dozens of complex models, one unique enemy, and 5 shadow-type enemies. The critic countered by asking Marco's monthly AI subscription cost ($250-300). The Steam Early Access game is a liminal survival horror where players photograph anomalies, manage a 20-second flashlight, and face monsters that move when unobserved.
