Swen Vincke, head of Larian Studios & lead designer of the upcoming CRPG Divinity: Original Sin discusses the difficulties in trying to market a classic, complex roleplaying game to an audience (read: mainstream gaming media outlets) who have been trained not to think.
Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware and Larian Studios have shown that a good workplace environment is what it really takes to make good games."
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Larian Studios' CEO Swen Vincke recently appeared in an interview and clarified that he does not see GenAI as a replacement for developers.
If you're hiring less writers to write the dialogue that AI writes instead...isn't that replacing writers?
Exactly he doesn't see it replacing devs... Immediately mentions replacing writers hahaha
It also means the same amount of writers can now produce more dialogues with the same amount of budgets, game development doesn't have infinite budget, AI when used correctly, can help generate some dialogues, and then still need writers to have another pass through to make sure those make sense in the game world.
Not really, its a different role. Now you're scripting ai on how they should respond, keywords, language, etc
If anything, you'll need to be a good script writer to direct ai npcs.
Its a new field for them!
This is the thing. First AI will be used to get rid of all the low level repetitive task and as it evolves it will be used to get rid of more people.
