Listen Up Game Designers

When we hear "AI" today, it evokes mixed reactions. Companies either aggressively push AI adoption or highlight cost savings, while employees worry about job displacement. Rather than debate what will happen, I want to explore how AI can enhance our creative skills and reduce tedious tasks.

For creative work, I recommend avoiding AI for initial ideation. Over-reliance can diminish your natural creative abilities. Instead, develop your raw ideas first, then use AI to refine and polish them.

In game design, we juggle multiple roles - conveying ideas, creating systems, and ensuring our vision becomes reality. This blog/newsletter will showcase practical ways to leverage AI across the diverse tasks we face as designers, focusing on augmentation rather than replacement.

The goal is to highlight fun and useful applications that make our work more efficient while preserving the creative spark that makes great design possible.
