Is anyone actually planning to keep paying $200/month for ChatGPT Pro after the recent usage limit cuts?

I've recently released 3 games built with AI, and the experience taught me something important:

The key to AI game development isn't how many tools or skills you have.

It's how accurately AI can turn your vision into a playable game.

You don't need to master dozens of tools. You need to know what you want, give clear instructions, and keep iterating.

Here's my personal AI game development workflow:

🎮 MY AI GAME DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW

1. Use GPT primarily for image generation.

2. Subscribe to Claude and use Opus 5.5 with High thinking effort. Let Claude handle your game development.

3. Describe the genre, mechanics, visual style, and existing games you'd like to use as references.

4. Ask Claude to use Codex CLI with Luna at Low reasoning effort to generate concept images for your game.

This is our image generation workflow from now on.

5. Once you're satisfied with the concept art, ask Claude to build a playable prototype.

6. If your prototype looks or feels too similar to the reference games, add unique mechanics, features, and personality. Make it your own.

7. Use Claude Artifacts to visualize your development progress, review features, and track milestones.

8. Need game UI, background music, sound effects, or inspiration? Ask Claude to help you find them, or use the resources below.

🚀 LET'S CONNECT!

I'm looking to connect with more developers who are building games with AI, just like me.

I want to share ideas, exchange tips, learn from each other, and see what everyone is creating.

👇 If you're currently developing a game or have already released one, drop a gameplay video or screenshot in the comments!

I'd love to see your projects and connect with you.

Let's build amazing games together.
