GDEX 2026 Panel: Where AI Actually Helped While We Built Our First Indie Game
AI can write code, generate ideas, and move incredibly fast, but that doesn’t mean it always helps. In this session, I’ll share what our small indie team has learned while building our first game with AI as part of the development workflow. We’ll look at where it genuinely saved us time in programming, debugging, prototyping, and iteration, as well as the moments where it confidently solved the wrong problem or made things more complicated. This is a practical look at using AI as a tool on a real project, what worked, what didn’t, and what we do differently now.
