My 2c is that agents are not at the level where companies can easily just have unconstrained LLM with tools and let it be. Different parts of the workflow can have different models, different tools, different constraints, guardrails, etc.

The entrypoint still has to come from somewhere, and it's much more convenient to be able to explain the security and legal teams how data is handled, what is logged, how you can have control over a scenario where the agent does something unexpected.

Sure, for a personal project that could be enough, but we all know those companies target enterprise customers, and you would be surprised how little adoption there is when it comes to workflow automation due to the lack of controls.

This is great write-up and it's great that we can use AI tools to peek behind the curtain of how games like these were made.

Hopefully it gives more people a creative kick and we see a revival of more games inspired by some of those game mechanism and potentially even move away from using the well-known set of engines to build games with.

I also think the context of building software matters quite a bit as well.

In a big corporation where ownership is fragmented and initiatives that are big enough for the mythical man-month problem to become tangible, big part of the problem becomes aligning the different engineering teams around why something should be built now, why team X and not team Y should do it, doing it securely and having enough confidence for a release.

I'm interested to know the following:

Is selling vaporwave songs legal, such as those that remix Michael Jackson? If not, who is liable - is it the creator of the song or the seller of floppy disks?
