Bullet Hero and AI

How I use AI while making the game, and what I think about levels made with it

I use AI, and I think it is worth using. But properly: as a tool whose work I check, not as something that thinks for me. Used without thought, it produces a lot of text and code that looks right and is not

Where it helps

• Code. The game, this site and the SDK
• Technical texts. These docs and the translations, the Chinese version included
• Ideas. Discussing mechanics and design, looking for holes in a plan

Everything it produces I read, check and rework by hand. Nothing goes into the game or onto the site unread, and every line is my responsibility, not the model's

Where it does not

The visuals. Everything you see in the game is made by hand, and I intend to keep it that way

Levels made with AI

They are allowed. What matters to me is the quality of the level: if AI helps you make a level better, use it. Just say so in the level's description, so players know what they are playing

People who refuse AI on principle have my respect. A level made entirely by hand is a fine choice, and nobody is pushed off it
