Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

In the midst of NextFest - I would like to reiterate... Please help indies that do not have marketing budgets or marketing teams. You are OUR ONLY HOPE!

Reviews (please give feedback if you have it!) even on the demo helps.

Wishlists ALSO make the steam algo pop you up to the top of lists.
Things that cost nothing - but is a HUGE help for any and all indie devs:

Wishlisting - it gives games data to show publishers there is interest.

Leave a Review - ESPECIALLY if you liked the game. Reviews on steam lead to the algo serving you up to others.

Reposting - it's an attention economy.

I'm teaching on a games degree course that tries to cover a lot of bases. We're relatively industry focussed, and I think Unreal is the best all-purpose "first engine" to learn. Does anyone have any strong opinions otherwise?
