AI: To bring Juggling Jolt to life with the depth and polish it deserves, I used Generative AI Coding Assistants as part of my development pipeline. As a solo developer, my goal was to maximize efficiency and tackle complex technical tasks that would normally demand far more time than a single person can affort. By automating repetitive coding tasks, I spent less time on routine technical maintenance and more time manually crafting the creative gameplay, balancing mechanics, and polishing the player experience. This approach ultimately allowed me to deliver a much more stable, feature-rich game within a reasonable timeframe than would have been possible otherwise.
