Asked to promise a game isn't "AI slop," indie dev APOTOP shared a candid reply: they do use AI-assisted coding tools sometimes, but as a CS Master's student won't ship a vibe-coded mess — AI coding is legitimate as long as the developer understands what they're doing. All creative work (models, art, music, writing, voice acting, magic design) stays 100% human-made. Commenter notes this is what intentional AI use in game dev actually looks like, a qualitative gulf above TL slop — and suspects the dev understates their dependency.
