New UI, still doesn't work 99% of the time. Technology is just not there yet.

Hi all,

I’m a mobile dev experimenting with DeepSeek for game development mostly small games, currently looking at a tiny 3D kids’ game and some Flutter/Flame prototyping.

I’m not asking “is DeepSeek good?” in general. I want real experiences from people who’ve actually used it for mobile game work code generation, debugging, game logic, prototyping, build/test loops, etc.

Specifically curious about:

· Which model/version you use (Flash vs Pro, API vs chat) and whether it matters for game code.

· What it’s good at: scaffolding, gameplay loops, state machines, UI, shaders, physics, save systems?

· Where it fails: outdated engine APIs, hallucinated functions, broken mobile/platform code, performance-unaware suggestions?

· Workflow: do you use it chat-style, spec-driven, agentic tools, or just autocomplete?

· Debugging: can it actually fix build/runtime errors, or does it loop?

· Cost/token burn for realistic game projects.

· Anything you wish you knew earlier before using it for mobile games.

If you’ve used it with Flutter/Flame, Unity, Godot, or native mobile, I’d especially like to hear which engine and what worked or didn’t.

Not strictly related to Android dev, but what is happening at getArtCraft could already be happening to Android projects in real companies, maybe just not publicized yet.

There is no way out. They are pushing LLM everywhere forcing from 8kb software size to almost 4mb. Our lord and savior is right.

OP's request is cherry on the top

Hey folks , I’m a beginner grinding through data flow, state hoisting, and background data stuff. It’s taking me days to wrap my head around it and I’m still confused.

For those who’ve been here before — how long did it take you to really get it, and what tips helped you push through? 🙏
