I'm not even going to try to list out the number of significant features Opus has added to my engine. Also it made it like 50%+ faster. It's not magic. I knew all the things I needed to do, they were all just incredibly laborious and fiddly. Now Opus can just one-shot most of it.

AI gamedev? Probably a godsend for artistic types who are good at music and art but refuse to learn2code. Even so, I do think a little bit is lost there, since tuning little things here and there in the code to get a desired effect is a huge part of making a great game, and LLMs often botch the small, hard-to-notice things that give a game the feeling of a labor of love.

Definitely good for rapid prototyping things, though, when you have an idea and want to know if a basic demo is fun.

This is the spot I am in at work. I often know exactly what needs to be done. But it is normally extremely tedious and often cannot be scripted.

It is really good at spotting lots of little things and allowing you to iterate quickly. It is more like a power multiplier if you already know what needs to be done.
