      @@Dave-rd6sp I know Retro Diffusion, tbh it's nothing special, it's basically just a Stable Diffusion model trained on pixel art. You can do the same thing with any pixel art trained model and some free Stable Diffusion WebUI extensions. The trick to getting good pixel art is just down to the final pixelization of your image and pallet limiting.

    This will be the standard for all big game engines and asset creation tools in a few years.
    In Unreal for example say you want to create an enemy and you just type in a box inside a folder:
    Use this skeletal meshes and add this health bar with this UI Elements.
    And shortly after it would give you the blueprints and you can just add them to the level or do as we saw in the video and mark an area and say: put X enemies here.

I have chatbots, and they even know UnityEngine for coding - I also have Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI, and can make tileable textures all day long. What I need is a way to accelerate setting up the game's assets, building out levels, something to wire everything together. By the time the big guns figure this out, we'll be at the stage where OpenAI will be showing off how AI can create entire interactive 3D VR environments based on prompts.

  • @mmxgn
    @mmxgn 10 місяців тому +4

    The big issue with those "AI prompts" type of approaches I see is that there needs to be some intermediary format so that you can fine tune it. And the problem I have seen in every implementation is that it is a big bother to fine tune things the way you want that it's usually easier to just follow a regular example. If they manage to make the intermediary format easy to understand and modify (e.g. these mindmaps) then that's interesting, otherwise, it's going to be another frustrating ai-based experience.
    Frankly, the best no-code approach I have ever seen in any game engine ever was from Klik & Play (and subsequently the Games Factory and Click and Create) in the 90s with their Story board and integrated sprite tool approach. Nothing else I've used has ever come close.

      That's not what the tech can do now, though. Right now, diffusion algorithms have no external context, and that's the core reason why it lacks consistency with stuff like animation. So no matter how refined or polished individual outputs look, making a cohesive package while heavily relying on diffusion algorithms isn't likely to produce a polished product.

Balanced and fair gameplay, good story progression, specific movement tech, recognizable art style, good level design, whatever particular design details of specific game subgenre, you need a lot of game designer knowledge and taste beyond just technical knowledge.

    Similar to something I'm planning with my engine, with the AI part at least.
    I use Phind a lot, and want to make part of the engine work like Phind, but across all the engine and code for the project at hand. That way, instead of having to reexplain the project each time, the engine will gain and hold that concept. Also, to have it skip bad results. For example, one framework I'm using sometimes comes up as something completely different. I could have it automatically discard any of those results.
    Reguardless, cool idea. Sucky company actions. Helps pave the way for me.
