AI has more soul than like 99% of humanity simply because it's trained on basically everything we've made and is basically quantifying the aesthetics encoded into that work. Meaning you can just say "make thing but gooder" and it does it.

AI does the styles of most artistic authors better than they can.
AI can come up with new unique ideas a million times faster.
AI can create a picture a billion times faster.

AI isn't truly intelligent. It's machine learning. And the machines learn from studying many, many examples of human creativity, and then replicates it. It is, in essence, a little piece of the collective consciousness of humanity. So, when an AI makes something like a fantasy image, it makes an image from all the fantasy it has been exposed to. It has the general soul of humanity behind it, but a general soullessness when it comes to individual direction or intent beyond what the prompter could make it do. That's AI's own brand of soullessness - being a sort of amalgamation of innumerable things and not having much individual intent or vision behind it.

This is different from the AAA brand of soullessness. This is a sort of soullessness that comes from being forced to fit the various superstitions of the investors, of having to fit in with various social and ideological mores, of trying to be as safe as possible and also of trying to appeal to as wide a population as possible, all while ALSO trying to turn heads.

There's a certain unique kind of soullessness you get from a product that's trying to be edgy and rebellious to bring attention to the product while also trying to not offend anyone. Or trying to make a traditional fantasy game (because fantasy has an established fanbase) while also trying to not be a traditional fantasy game at all (because traditional fantasy isn't a wide enough audience). So on and so forth. The resulting weird magenta punk Kindergarten that you see these days is something that could only be produced by a soulless corpo process.

So, AI is soulless in the sense of being an amalgamation of thousands or millions of other things without much of its own individual identity. AAA is soulless in the sense of edgeless, incoherent creative bankruptcy.

>>716029873
It looks cool, but the last time I saw AI try to make an old-style RPG, it just wound up making Heretic for retarded babies.

Real people have their own identities and their own takes on things.

If you gave AI all the Greek and Norse sagas and poems along with a significant amount of history and Catholic theology, it would just produce a facsimile of some ancient myth, not Lord of the Rings.

But that's not ALL they are. Manmade art is exterior influence combined with individual personality, intent, and lived experiences.

>>716035913
>Real people have their own identities and their own takes on things.
real people are the people using AI to make stuff

>>716035913
You're talking about lived experience and subconscious influences, and artists spend their entire lives trying to break themselves from that. Professional performers literally will not listen/view other artists work because they don't want to subconsciously steal.
AI missing this component will impact the intrinsic recognizability of certain things, but that lack is exactly what will make it something wholly unique. Lord of the Rings was an amalgamation of Tolkien's experience in WWI and his love for myth and languages. If you fed an AI the sources you mentioned it would make something totally unlike LoTR. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you

>>716036215
The AI is in charge of most of the creative process. The human just tries to direct it.

>>716036215
Your AI gens are at the mercy of the AI's interpretation, it will never perfectly match what's in your head, unlike a skilled artist.

>>716029873

>>716036267
>Lord of the Rings was an amalgamation of Tolkien's experience in WWI and his love for myth and languages.
Also nature. He wrote hundreds of pages of forest descriptions to the point of exhaustion. That guy was the original tree-hugging hippie. Wouldn't be surprised if he whacked it to trees and came inside their hollows.

>>716036353

You can generate all day long until you get what you want, you're essentially saying "you are at the mercy of your paint" which is true but a pointless statement.

>>716029873
Reminds me of the old voxel engines on games like Delta Force or Comanche with tons of billboard sprites added on top. I wonder if it's actually possible to make a game like this instead of AI mockups.

>>716029873
I need it.

>>716037019
AI is cool because you can use it for fast generation of concept art. But the real game will need some clever artwork and engineering. Seems like it needs a rediscovery of old pixel art techniques from 35+ years ago.

>>716037253
>But the real game will need some clever artwork and engineering.
You say this only because you literally never pay attention to video games.

AI """slop""" is higher quality than the vast majority of game assets we've played through. Pay attention from now on, it's embarrassing that people say shit like this. The same goes for all digital art and shitloads of actual traditional art.

>>716029115

>>716029873
>skyrim but shitty filter

>>716037253
>old pixel art techniques
You mean a normal painting that's been pixelated and adjusted a bit?
Well, that's what they did for games like Metal Slug
instead of creating sprites pixel by pixel.
While you can do it that way, you'd need a team of really skilled artists working day and night to make all the assets look beautiful.
You can't outsource that to India, maybe you could send it to China, but I'm not too sure about that
and it's going to be really expensive while appealing to a smaller group of people

AI generated stuff is just one dimensional mush that only looks good from a certain distance if that.
not to mention the problem of assets not being cohesive

>>716030740

>>716035646
Real artists still understand things and their context, rather than some abstracted mathematical weighting and scoring system.

>>716037535
Never said it would be easy. They don't make em like they used to for a reason. Most devs suck today and big cash is spent only on safe slop designed by fucktards.

AI will never be able to make a good game but this does look cool. Reminds me of Daggerfall and Ultima Underworld.

>>716037861
A real artist respects the silence that serves as the foundation of creativity.

>>716029115
>>716038029
My issue here is the fact ZERO indie devs even attempted to make a game that looks like this, even though it's such an obvious aesthetic and vibe that me and hundred of others artlet anons described it over and over in fantasy threads

It didn't even have to be a real game, I see tons of mockups of fake games that never see the light of day, and they still don't attempt to be this visually experimental

AAA and indieshit are stuck in a death spiral of (no) creativity and don't even dare to imagine what things could be like outside of their established boxes

Easier said than done.

I think improvements in the existing machine learning models are possible, but it will get increasingly difficult (re: expensive) because quality improvements are a quality control problem and there are diminishing returns on investment with this activity in business. The current solution from every big AI company is to throw more computing power at the problem. Wells Fargo analysts expect AI computing power consumption to increase 100x in 5 years. Already most AI companies have released a new version of their product which was actually worse at performing tasks from previous versions -- they aren't even really sure how to not make their product worse despite spending more money

Lastly, right now, none of the big name AI companies are making money. They are kept entirely afloat from investor funding. People paying to use chatgpt aren't actually paying the cost to run the computers and the engineers to build the software. Why? Because people don't want these products at their current cost. Will that opinion change when the products are 100x more expensive?

>>716040421
>Easier said than done.
They quite literally are having no issues. Progress is steady as can be and other companies are working on other problems.
>t it will get increasingly difficult (re: expensive)
They will just print money to get it done.

False and irrelevant.

>Will that opinion change when the products are 100x more expensive?
It will only get 100x cheaper.

This looks like something that needs a specific engine built for it. Instead of being a real 3D it'd need to render 3D assets as though it's an early fake 2D game.
The problem is that the fake 2D racing games was on a track, a game like this would lose it's charm if you couldn't turn.

>>716040204
My post wasn't really even a defense of AI, just a criticism of the statement that artists necessarily understand their subject matter. Here's another example courtesy of famed comic book artist Rob Liefeld, who drew art for major comic book series' for years despite not knowing basic anatomy.

A lot of the fuck ups with machine learning models are actually a consequence of including shitty art, shitty writing, shitty photography, etc in training data.

>Google and Amazon
Google was profitable 1 year after launching. Amazon took longer but there already existed multiple private shipping companies, and digital purchasing/retail companies that turned a profit. People were buying stocks with computers and purchasing products from catalogues and receiving them through private mail decades earlier. AI companies' development plans are not built on someone else's already functioning communications technology with an economy of scale cost component, but they plan to solve quality control problem by burning investor cash. But all quality control problems are a diminishing returns trap, so they will need exponentially more funding despite already not turning a profit.

>Miraculously, AI corrects a lot of it too.

AI is not "making" anything "new", it just recycles existing things. What you're looking at is just 20th century fantasy. The problem is AI "knows" about it, while modern onion developers and AAAA developers collectively decided to ignore the only period when fantasy was kino. For some retarded reason.
That's why you think AI knows fantasy better. It all was made by actual human beans. Just in different time better time.

I never claimed that artists, programmers understand their subject matter, merely that they understand their subject matter and the context of what they are working on in a human way.
The comics industry is a special kind of fucked, simply because there are often many people involved, deadlines are preferred over good work and it often just takes one guy in the process to fuck up everyone else's work.
Unfortunately half-assed AI work is going to pry its way into the industry due to that same deadline fuckery.

>>716028935 (OP)
The Quest. TES

>>716028935 (OP)
No such games, because casuals would cry that it's too empty. Scale does not exist in AAA RPGs.

>>716029873
This is a deceptively simple art style, the appeal comes from the elements that look handmade, but this composition was intended for this perspective only, the whole arrangement of the world, geography, gameplay etc might not make sense from anywhere else when laid out in an actual 3D space that has to be a playable game and usually leads to games like Daggerfall

Alternatively you could make it a linear game with pretty backdrops but that sort of defeats the purpose

>>716028935 (OP)
What will it take to make a game render this way?

>>716038247
I've got my own vibe that's dissimilar but ai doesn't magically find my game anon.

Might as well recommend Northern Journey at this point, better adventure than any RPG made in the last decade.

>>716055724
based northern journey chad

>>716055724
I hate the choice of weapons in this game. The dev should have gone with a melee focuses approach imo

>>716030740
this game had nothing to do with Arthurian legends, could they not have picked a better name?

>>716056125
Nah, it's perfect. The clunkiness elevates the horror atmosphere. I too believe just a regular melee weapon would feel better, but it would not work that good for this game.

>>716055724
I'll never play that game, it's not for me, but the creator's devlog is pure fucking soul. It was very sad to read he barely made the money back.

>>716028935 (OP)
I can smell midjourney from miles away

i want a game like this
where you play as a wizard who uses silly spells to fight mongrels

>>716042521
And it's fine if it's a heavily stylistic

>>716056723
And then you collect colored keys to open gates! Muh gamepolay

>>716056883
of course not, you have to collect pages and items to make The ultimate potion
ROOT BEER

Also, you haven’t paid any taxes and have been selling shitty potions to the peasants, so the guards are after you as well.

>>716056462
I gifted it to all my friends. At least one bought it himself after my stories and he came buckets after playing it. I shill it here for free even though no one plays games here if they don't come with shitposting attached to them. I did all I could.

>>716057315
I played it after an anon on /sp/ recommended it. It's pretty cool.

yes bro i loved the kings/jarls castle that looks smaller than my grandmas vacation house

>>716044280
just like how real people recycle concepts, art styles and take inspiration from other media
How many souls likes have come out?

>>716057661
Exactly, like real people. it's the same process of recycling old ideas. People come up with new cool ideas sometimes, maybe AI can do that to at some point, but we're not there yet.
The post was about how a fucking AI can recycle these good ideas from classic fantasy, while the modern devs for some reason are only capable of recycling asoiaf and rickymorty.

>>716057315
>>716055892
i dropped the game i came to some part with tons of elevators or something. should i try again?? does it GET BETTER

>>716059393

You mean Greenslit? That area is kind of a pain in the ass because you can get lost easily, but still enjoyable and absolutely worth playing through

>>716028935 (OP)
this could be a very soulful indie game. imagine 2.5D kingdom with 3d looking prerendered backgrounds, you still move linearly with some branching paths and gameplay has more depth, you can talk with npc's and go into houses, taverns etc.

>>716039712
Yeah I agree. I think people should really try to imagine what playing this would feel like. Just moving your character around would feel weird and floaty. You'd turn the game off after 5 min guaranteed.

>>716049192
Warhammer Fantasy first person RPG never ever hell I wouldn't even expect a WFRP based CRPG

>>716055341
might as well recommend Cultic then if pixal art in first person is the only thing that matters

Did anyone release a pretty good AI game so far?

>>716028935 (OP)
for the first person perspective, what about kings field iv? for the aesthetic, castlevania.

>>716028935 (OP)
It looks like a pop-up book

>>716028935 (OP)
Any games that have this sense of verticality?

>>716066652
No.

>>716066652
Yes.

>>716030740
Absolute dogshit game.

>>716029115
>no way a indie studio or triple A studio could make this
Because the perspective and scale is absolutely fucked in a way you wouldn't see rendered intentionally

>>716072708
kys it's a shit game
jk

>>716028935 (OP)
There are probably 4-5 indie games out there that look like that but you faggots would call it troonslop

>>716029873

you could make a game that looks like this but it would have to be voxel based and incredible dense, it would take fucking forever to make the assets with current ech

>>716077757
It would take talented white/asian guys and girls and those are pretty expensive
Jeets can't do this shit by hand

AI is the ultimate vaporware
when it stops being proped up by retarded techbro investors and companies start footing the bill this shit will pop harder than the .com bubble.

Worst part is I will have to deal with retards posting 10 second .mp4s and claiming AI will finally be good in just 2 more weeks for a couple more years.

>>716037523
Skyrim doesn't even look close to that, the game was always butt ugly

>>716066652
>>716072708
Northern Journey is fucking great
my only complaint is that the indie jank sometimes gets really obnoxious but that's mostly just in one area at the end of the game

>>716028935 (OP)
>WOW MUH HECKIN SOVL
now look off-angle
oh right, nostalgia bait AI goyslop, nevermind.

>>716057271

All this ES shilling yet it looks nothing like OP posted. Reminds me of a 3D Castlevania instead.

VOIN

>>716028935 (OP)
why do you keep making this thread

because its videogames, nigger
I found 3 things to put onto my wishlist from this thread

>>716029873
I could build a crude imitation using billboard sprites and a filter which reduces color banding. The billboarding would look kind of bad though unless you could only look left/right in a very narrow 10 degree range, and up/down in a 45 degree range. But it's doable.

>>716084345
nigga I'm gonna put your ass on your town's rapist whishlist you better stop that AIAM-GOnA-PUuT-IT-in-wishLiSt shit go buy Northern Journey or I swear on my mom

>>716085015
bet i played it more than you faggot

I want a fantasy game that looks like Slaine.

>>716085167
Well I only beat it once so yeah, that's not a high bar. But I sniffed every corner of it, so not much to do left.
It was hard to go back to other games with no sense of adventure and no mystery. I'm playing Mjölnir now, and the next one will probably be INFRA.

>>716029293
>t. midwit

>>716028935 (OP)
You'd need a whole system for this right? Like something that will convert the LOD and skyboxes (and clouds) into sprites and then coordinate and blend between them somehow. So your looking at a painting like that, but it'd periodically update as your perspective shifts (or the clouds move or something). The shift could be hidden so it only happens when you look away or something obstructs your view. Kind of hard to wrap my head around how all of this would work, but the effect would be pretty neat.
Only thing I can think of that's in the same ball park is surface-stable dithering (in the sense that it combines 3d stuff with 2d stuff).

>>716085952
nice ai slop

>>716029293
Yeah the castle in the distance is 2 kilometers tall and has 50m tall windows, shit is retarded

>>716029873
looks like shit lol

>>716086290
that are landing spots for dragons and vyverns

>>716033562
BotW is the obvious answer, since it is a literal spooky menacing castle.

Xenoblade is another big one, maybe the biggest. Majora's Mask is another.

>>716085687
Then complain to Rebellion, they own the IP

>>716078438
Which area? The most annoying area was Greenslit by far. The rest of the game was fine.

fucking ai

>>716028935 (OP)
Ravenloft: Strahds Possession

So realistically, how do you imitate this style? Several layers of sprites on background plus some 3d objects?

>>716087812
That's the most basic parallax effect.
If you check the video closely, it's just 4 flat pictures slightly moving relative to each other, plus few more layers with trees close to the player, plus the player's hand (one more flat picture). Each layer "shakes" at different speed, and that creates the depth effect.
There's no 3D there, and I'm 100% sure "parallax" word was in ai instruction.
Not sure if it's possible to make a whole game like that, unless it has no free movement. If it's like an old adventure games, like Myst, then sure, easy-peasy. But I'm not sure if there ever was a game where you could move freely, yet the whole world is made with this parallax effect.

>>716087812
Basically yeah. Modern technology would allow you to do things like resizing relative to player position pretty easily. It's more so that it requires very good art direction and level creation so everything looks cohesive at all times. It's very easy to do this pov when you're just on a straight road.

https://x.com/chrisalbon/status/1947290932350468150

It's kinda funny that early on, a lot of AI detractors were like "lol the best art will always be made by humans but programmers are programming their own replacement" and then as time went on, people realized the limitations of LLMs as logic instruments while generative art models became WAY better.

>>716028935 (OP)
Drawing your sword for no reason? That's every Elder Scrolls game ever

>>716086290
it's a castle for giants
you just lack imagination

>>716032907
I dont dislike pixel art but damn that looks bad

>>716088703
God damn i really want a dungeon crawler with this type of aesthetics.
