I’ve making a determined effort to provide myself a stable and long term development environment with as much AI assistance as possible while managing the inevitable imperfection of AI assisted code generation. I’m in the process of migrating away from Kiro as my sole development IDE, moving toward a Claude Code workflow. This is out of my comfort zone, as I’m not a Powershell multi-terminal linux running Engineering specialist, I’m just a game designer man! But I do have years of foundational scripting experience and 4 years of indie development as the Artist/Designer/Engineer for The Orphan King. I promised a dump on Orphan King, I’ll upload some images and video soon! But first this Planning Phase > Dev Environment shift. Reasons? While I love Kiro and it has got me from ground zero to fully live rules constrained gameplay using a web server front end and a gcloud managed instance group backend (which I didn’t even know was a thing when I started), issues have arisen which I need to cut through. Over Engineering, Friction Points, A lack of nimble iteration and a very real business need for me to be fully able to understand / manage / debug the codebase. I will report back!
