AI and Becoming a Game Designer

Game studios use AI for art passes, NPC dialogue, and code prototypes. The job is shifting toward people who can design systems and direct AI output.

Some examples

• Solo devs ship games faster using AI for art and audio.
• Big studios still need humans for fun, balance, and player experience.
• Build small playable prototypes — that beats a fancy resume.
• Itch.io is where teens publish their first real games.
