Making games in Go: 3 months without LLMs vs. 3 days with LLMs

A developer who can build a game by hand in 24 hours could probably build and publish something very polished and professional on Steam within 3 days using LLMs, which leads to some kind of software Fermi paradox: where are all the games??

LLMs can't help much with assets?

This.

You may as well buy a shooter game starter pack or whatever that can save you >1year of coding, no llm needed.

Code is not a hard part.

Making mechanics fun and good assets is what is hard and takes forever.

Sure you can use llm to write a generic game, but its easier to find same game on github and just use that code, why would you write it again with llm.

Why not just copy the mechanics of an existing fun game?
