As one of the individuals who was successful at creating a few games (8 or more) both 2d and 3d, I'm running into some serious issues when it comes to using the new AI Helper tool.

Firstly, the system keeps running a ticket-based que system that keeps on locking out the user from making any further changes. This has lead to many projects being completely stalled, overall discontinued, and has provided a headache of a way to address minor issues in website or game development because the system just refuses to do anything for hours. Network status says that the network is normal, but then cannot input anything with the helper tool.

For my current game Questmore, I've found the tool to be inadequate to designing basic shape or tools; sword look like a twisted cone, a boat paddle, a house, the blade base is perpendicular to the sword hilt... No one will be winning any wars with these kinds of sword. The older model, while pretty terrible, had the models at least looking somewhat correct. AI Helper has gotten many project farther, but I am really struggle to see how that is an improvement when the designed are getting either outright wrong, or take to long to improve since there's little three or five request in a day you can make.

I like that it can now attach documents, text files, java script, and even images, but I'm finding that is still struggles with some of the same issues as the previous version of the AI Helper. I look at some of the cumbersome text it makes, and it just inefficient at fixing basic issues, though sometime it does well... It's just not working out if I need to fix something basic in the program and it take one of the valuable turns to address something simple before I get locked out.

There are many users here that haven't got that far, but at some point, this system is so poorly designed, that it's just turning into a rendering nightmare when the project gets too large. To be frank, AI Helper need dramatic upgrade or an overhaul altogether in order for it be useful for anything that is beyond a ms-dos game or program.

It's just not looking good.

Wrong community? Sounds like there's context missing.

Is the post asking for help making "AI Helpers" (apparently just a generic name for chatbots) as a genre more useful?

That's not what this community is for, but the answer is:

You can't make them useful, they're slop generators.

I've only summoned up tiny test games to get a feel for things but something like opencode might be worth a look.

It can keep track of a project via git and markdown and allow you to switch between models.
