HTML - The Withering Realm [v0.1.2.4] [FlyToTheMoonStudio]

You know when you have a good idea? Nothing original, but you feel like carrying it out? You know when you discard it because you lack the skills, the knowledge, or apparently even the motivation to do it properly, and it remains just that—"an idea"? Well, that’s exactly what this person should have done before daring to publish their disaster of a (I don’t even want to call it a game), unrefined, uncared for… just adding a plethora of AI-generated images that anyone can make and presenting it to the public as if it were a game, when it’s a complete mess.

First, work on that idea, develop it, polish it, improve it, learn from it, test it, and when everything turns out well, in a year or two… you publish it. Don’t try to sell your disaster—it’s just embarrassing.

[0.1.2] A passion project that uses AI as a medium. If you dislike AI generated artwork, this is not for you. This is a management HTML game and it is that reason I am giving this a 4-star review at this very moment because I believe this game has potential. Unlike some HTML projects on this site, this is actually a game-- you need to manage resources and build up with heroes. Its certainly bare-bones at the minute with plenty of bugs, but you can see the development log thread for updates, bugfixes and the desire of the developer to make this work.
I genuinely think a lot of effort is going into this and I am very much invested to see where this game goes. It could turn out to be a very good game in a year's time, as the developer learns and more AI art is added.

Disappointing AI Slop. It's a buggy mess. Certain links dont work or the images dont load. As a person who loves management games this was terrible. Random imagery for nothing. Games should have rhyme and reason to them, this had none.

Not trying to discourage the author you have a good premise as far as your baseline, what the game is about. The execution was horrible definitely try to play your own game before putting it out.

Basically: nothing works.

It feels like somebody generated an entire game using ChatGPT, except they forgot even trying to debug or test it.

I found two ways to softlock the game in the first minute. Want to go to the settings? I recommend you don't, because you can never leave the page again and need to do a full restart.

Basically every page has at least one (often many) broken text or images not being formatted correctly.

Other than that, it's a confusing mess without explanations or buildup. Everything seems kind of randomly thrown together.

I'm convinced AI made this entire thing in an an afternoon or two.
