@julian well, there are tradeoffs. Generative AI can make something pretty good-looking in a fraction of the time that it takes me to make something by hand, but the upside is that I have direct control and can develop a visual style suited to my tastes.

The same goes for code, building it manually gives me insight into a bunch of different systems and mechanics. Having that knowledge helps me know how to change things or expand them.

It’s not so much that I’m trying to flex on my brother, so much as that I want to make something good that doesn’t rely on AI, and give him some incentive to learn to code. Ideally, this could be something we make together over time.
