I fail to see how this isn’t a good thing?
Yes the AI usage was known about previously, yes, the game probably doesn’t really count as being an indie game, yes game awards are all genuinely terrible, but you have to take what you can get. A small victory is a still a victory.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Good. It’s a decent enough game, if you like that style, but I think they won enough at the other awards.

So the “geez, save some pussy for the rest of us” line?
Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Would you have preferred I just call out the game for being shitty and not in any way an “indie game?”
Oh, wait, I don’t give a fuck what you think!
surdeus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Whatever, it’s shit anyway

Being a 500 person studio with a 400 million dollar publisher means you still qualify for the Indie™ Game Awards but using ChatGPT to make a random powerpoint is just a bridge too far.
Apparently Blue Archive, the game that was given the award after they disqualified E33, ALSO used AI.

I mean they got to give the other games a chance at winning something this year 😁

I hope this wasn’t used as an excuse to disqualify the game so they wouldn’t have to give it an award… Cause if it turns out it was, that would look really bad…

A placeholder isn’t what they’re working on either. It’s a placeholder for something someone else is working on but hasn’t completed yet.

Between this and the Divinity controversy, I think the gaming world needs some kind of Responsible AI seal, like the old Nintendo Seal of Quality. While Microsoft is shoving Copilot into Notepad, it can be really hard to guarantee every team member has never used an AI for anything.
Standards like “No generative AI” are a good one, and it turns out we’re also under debate whether AI for concept art - something absent from the game files - is okay. Many say not.

If any AAA studio says “we will use AI just for templates” they are not going to do that. They will blame the deadlines and keep it instead.
Also aren’t there reports artists in studios doing that fucking hate it?

In fact, yes!

People are tearing eachothers up in the comments, but does anybody know what the textures were?
taiyang@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Just production assets from what I understand. None of it is in the game proper.
MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If this is the case then i dont care.
Placeholders and production assets are just random low effort garbage somebody puts together and are just meant for people internally see how things work. No artist lost paycheck or merit.
I dont see any difference in this than when Batman Arkham asylum was released with placeholders. Skyrim had also placeholder textures on the release, so did Halo 2, Fallout new vegas, CoD MW2 and probably hundreds of more. Only difference is that they were done by coders in paint or something instead of generative ai.
