    I am fully expecting that a few decades from now we will be able to ask an AI for a game that’s X hours long, of Y difficulty, featuring a story with Z, and it will pump out a complete video game to your specifications.

      I don’t think we will even need to prompt. Just like TikTok it will algorithmically figure out what maximizes your engagement with the game. You will be fed with a never ending stream of new game content tailored to prevent you to stop playing the game.

      You should listen to the latest behind the bastards episodes on AI, it will line up very interestingly with your comment

    So, I will just use ChatGPT to create some cool character descriptions, Midjourney to draw the characters and then this to turn them into 3D models.

    I might be crazy, but I’m wondering if we’ll bypass this in the long run and generate 2D frames of 3D scenes. Either having a game be low-poly grayboxed and then each frame is generated by an AI doing image-to-image to render it out in different styles, or maybe outright “hallucinating” a game and it’s mechanics directly to rendered 2D frames.

    For example, your game doesn’t have a physics engine, but it does have parameters to guide the game engine’s “dream” of what happens when the player presses the jump button to produce reproducible actions.

    I feel like this is incredible for Indie devs but AAA companies will be the ones to end up using it.

    Note that this is just generating fixed models – no skeleton to provide for movement, no animations – though I imagine that that is also viable to do with a similar approach.

      I mean baby steps right? The next logical step from here is to teach the ai how to build a skeleton to go with the 3d model. Teaching it how movement happens to decide where articulation happens might be tricky though
