Maybe this could be good but it needs a lot of optimization. A top down 2D game really shouldn't be that slow even in a browser. It's also very unclear what to do at the start. I only played for a few minutes because I…

Yes but the solution didn't, though it seemed somewhat obvious after I read it (as is usually the case). Crucially, it also identified what didn't feel right without me specifying it.
All models bias towards the taste of the evaluation model which was built on the preferences of a group of people who did manual ranking of output. It results in a pretty bland design by committee style (though…

You don't understand, the important room is the tiny one in back not that big arena with ticket sales in front. /s
They're getting surprisingly good at identifying why things don't seem right. I came back to an old game project that I had shelved due to the core game loop not feeling right and I decided to just ask Astra to analyze…

So homicidal then.
If I open a restaurant that doesn't serve anything because "robot chefs and waiters will be here soon" then in a few months I won't have a restaurant or any money.
