Indie Dev Assistant-AI-powered game development help

Example

A developer may have written a complex piece of AI logic for NPC behavior that causes frame rate drops during gameplay. Indie Dev Assistant could analyze the logic, identify inefficiencies, and recommend optimized solutions to improve performance.

Scenario

An indie developer working on an open-world game notices that NPCs slow down the game during combat scenarios. The assistant detects that the pathfinding algorithm is inefficient and suggests using A* pathfinding with optimized data structures.

Example

A developer encounters a bug where an in-game character moves through walls during certain animations. Indie Dev Assistant helps locate the collision detection flaw in the code and suggests how to adjust the bounding boxes or the physics engine to prevent this from happening.

Scenario

In a 2D platformer, the player character glitches through platforms randomly. Indie Dev Assistant finds that the character’s collider doesn’t update quickly enough after a jump, causing the issue, and proposes increasing the physics update rate.

Example

If a developer is unsure how to integrate a new game mechanic into their existing gameplay, Indie Dev Assistant can provide feedback based on best practices and help align the mechanic with the game’s design vision.

Scenario

A developer working on a puzzle game wants to introduce a time-based challenge mechanic. The assistant suggests how to balance the difficulty curve by incrementally reducing time limits in higher levels while ensuring the challenges remain fair.
