AI can never be a great artist because it can never be bullied enough to become a withdrawn semi-sociopathic creature that just wants to create something that will make people love and understand it.
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Then don't make the game. It's a simple as that.
If a game needs to use a plagiarism machine to exist, it doesn't need to exist.

"I needed to use AI" might as well be rephrased as "I needed to use asset packs but I couldn't afford them so I stole them".
Generative AI is theft. And while I've got issues with the way "lazy devs" gets thrown around, it's also lazy.

The old Half-Life 2 mod Zombie Panic! Source has released their Halloween Update few days ago! In their dev blog, they talk about their plans to move to TF2SDK engine-branch, with lots of quality-of-life changes and fixes in the latest patch.

My main asset tools have always been:
Gimp + Krita - textures and other art
Audacity - most sound
Blender - models and animation
This is only a little bragging, to be clear. Mostly I just want to confirm that you can do a lot without subscriptions.
They need you. You don't need them.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

There was a Next Fest demo I was mostly enjoying, but something sounded off and sure enough the credits confirmed it used ElevenLabs. The page never mentions it. Deal breaker.

Believe old game devs when we tell you: burnout is real, it's painful. Be honest with yourself, take the breaks when you need them.
I've been burnt out for so long, I only just realized how long. I went from crunch at Iridium into crunch at Giant Squid with no break. About 3 years. It was too long.

If you're looking for retro textures I can really recommend @strideh.bsky.social's work! They offer three free packs and a premium one. They look really sharp, have a true Quake-feeling, can be used in commercial projects and were made without use of AI!
