discussion What are your opinions on the AI games?

[User_138467]

If a creator can make consistent characters, in an interesting style, couldn't care less if its AI or not.

I have tried recreating some VN's using AI, even with complex nodes it's not easy to keep style and consistency the same.
I do think it will be much easier soon though, and as long as it looks good there's no reason to bash AI, either a lot of effort went into training/prompting it or a lot of effort went into affording the hardware to run it (likely both).

It can be anywhere from photo-real to anime to hand-drawn style, so for me its going to change things like DAZ really soon, once prompt adherence and style adherence is improved. This is likely the future (even for animations).

they all look the same

I don't mind AI art but I don't think I've played a good game with it. Either that or I did not realize it while playing, like I was distracted or something

 

[stevenseagale123]

Those suck ass, at least most of them

Yeah I am waiting for ones that don't suck to come out

For a long time, I've been cautiously skeptical of AI. But in the last few years there have been some interesting projects with good gameplay. The only question is whether the developers will be able to complete their projects? At this point I have not seen any completed similar projects.

Personally I dislike AI in general, but I know it will continue being used, I just hope its gets better at making things because a lot of what i see is either trash or barely passable

I will be against AI art for a long time. But if developers use it to clean-up images maybe. I will have to wait and see.

you can do good stuff with ai, but i think it cost effort to make a ai game that isn't miserable or looks as souless as the avarage multi media corporate investor, people recycle 3d models for everything at this point there is a discussion in whether is better for scavange and do little tweaks to 3d models on the internet or to work on a ai image to look ok

 

[MagusArcane]

I agree with others here. Most of what I've seen is slop, but I imagine it will be incredible soon enuf.

Been seeing a lot of AI games popping up for a while now, never really got into playing any, are they good or should i stay away from them?

Good graphics and bad stories, and there always seems to be something missing.

This is the experience I have had, which seems to mean the people who make them usually can't get an artist on because the writing is bad.

 

[Vanquish123]

right now, seems very vanilla. missing the flair artists provide with thier own styles.

I've never seen any good AI game...

I've had little exposure to AI games, but I have seen plenty of the uncanny valley images they can generate (and even played with a few web prompts myself).

If a dev really cares enough about a project, I'd expect them to do one of three things:

• learn the skills to do the renders themselves
• engage an artist to do the visuals for them
• use AI but invest time and effort in training it &/or refining their prompts

They may at different points in the life of the game do all three.

Where AI becomes interesting is when it becomes good enough, that an artist can create models or static images, and the AI can then animate them according to a description, instead of needing (what I assume to be) hours of setting up wireframes, and storyboards. And not just a 6 frame loop of a thrusting motion, but a proper video. That will save artists time to spend on the details of a scene, or allow them to work on more frames/visuals.

Sadly, all it seems we get are no-effort shovelware titles, hopefully the market will get saturated with these, and the scammers making them will move on, so that we can start seeing better quality efforts come out, from real devs who have a passion, instead of someone chasing a quick buck.

I'm not advocating for AI replacing artists, but it's a useful tool for those artists, in much the same way computer animation and graphics was from the 80s and 90s.

There are few AI games that I find worthwhile. Overall, I don't like them; I prefer DAZ games.
I do, however, find Pill King well done.

A desesperate try to farm money quick and easy, but still you can finf something worth to play and watch like everything. At the end if you have enough talent and time the AI can be a nice tool to make a game with less soul but still nice to play.

 

[James2911]

Other aspects of the game needs to outweigh the AI parts. Good writing gets you far and AI images work to set the mood.

 

[bdogvn25]

I think AI can work eventually but I hope it doesn't replace others. Right now though I have yet to see any AI games where the models aren't stiff and the animation not crappy.
