Finally some worthy news. Is this game good?

 

[Hag]

Looks awful to my taste, could it be ?
Yep :

Some dialogue backgrounds and icons use AI generation.

Yeah, because every 20x20 sword icon MUST have an ARTIST'S SOUL poured into it. Just think of teh starving talents!11

It doesn't need it, but it can be improved by it. That is to say, when creating something you may make something that exceeds the original idea - it can be a sword, some model, some piece of writing, whatever. You can improve from the basic idea to something better, if only a little, and these things add up. With AI you can not improve upon anything by its very nature.

I hope all art will be replaced by AI sooner or later (same with voice acting), so devs can use all of their funds/time on things that actually matter.

Yeah. With AI you tell it to generate 50 versions of a sword icon at once, then pick the one you like the most. LE HORREUR.

This game looks interesting, I have bought and installed it.

Reviews are mixed, apparently a promising core game, but with many bugs on release and clunky UI. No surprises here.

But this is the kind of game I like to support. Indie dev passion project with hopefully good core mechanics, that is constantly patched and taken good care of. (In contrast to some games made by larger studios.)
We will see if it is actually good or not.

Hideous looking game and the first character i saw in the demo was this thing:

Yeah, no thanks... pass.

AI is shit at this.

That is, of course, your work is actually okay.

If you need AI to improve your writing then maybe you shouldn't be writing an RPG, or hire someone who can. Especially fluff like backgrounds are the absolute easiest things to write if you have a modicum of talent and creativity.

With AI you talk with a stool, or wall. Schizo stuff.

 

[Fenix]

AI is shit at this.

It's good. Cause when it become good at all this, people cease to be artists, writers, and I think even gamers, cause AI will bedoing all this better. There will be no poeple left who could do this or that.
For now it's almost as if Titanic just sailed away.

All worthwile art has already been created. Modern notion of an "artist" is undressing and smearing the room with feces. Modern notion of a "writer" is fentanyl-induced stream of consciousness without punctuation marks, or "well... i'm non-binary". If AI's gonna make these people unemployable, it can't happen soon enough.
