We spoke to the creators of a viral AI Minecraft demo, a YouTuber who trained an AI to play Pokémon, and some hackers who are modding AI features into Skyrim
Coming to this a bit late but the "dementia Minecraft" bit still makes me laugh. The memory model only holding a few seconds of context is such a perfect metaphor for how a lot of AI tools work under the hood.
Since this was published the vibe coding wave has pushed things even further. People are building full games from prompts now, not just pixel-prediction demos. The bottleneck has shifted from "can AI do it" to "can I get enough AI capacity to iterate fast enough." I wrote about how I sorted my own rate limit ceiling https://reading.sh/how-to-get-3x-claude-rate-limits-for-30-a-month-1d3fdb8658df because that was the thing slowing down my experiments more than anything else.
Has Decart shipped anything beyond the demo? The tech was impressive but the gap between viral demo and usable product is always wider than it looks.
Oasis sound like an incredible experience! The idea of AI generating a dreamlike version of Minecraft is both exciting and a bit mind bending. I can't wait to try it out.
Not gonna lie, I’m torn on this AI gaming stuff. On one hand, it’s super innovative. On the other, it kinda looks like we’re losing the soul of game design. https://geometrydashspam.com/

Hell yeah! More of this. I would love to hear about any indie game attempts, successful or not, that use llms in any way.
