And they keep using this excuse because people will keep falling for it

The the apology message seems to also be temporary AI gen

GenAI slop assets and required hardware ray tracing capable graphics cards, absolutely not.

Well i *was* interested in this game. Alas.

These are temporary assets. You don't need the slop machine. Just slap in some cylinders or doodle a crappy texture

How strange. Wasn't this Game the Passion Project of the Guy who was in Charge of Assassins Creed During it's good Games? I Heard He really fought to be able to make this Game. Why devalue it Like this?

The store assets also use genAI, and I don't think they can explain that as an 'accident'.

I was just about to repost your post and note that and I'm glad I don't have to now. It's truly madenning.

God fucking damnit, I was excited for the game too. I thought some of the portraits in the demo looked off, so I went and checked the store page and saw no disclosure there.

Just went from wishlisted to ignored, thanks

Well I *was* excited for that one but I'll be deleting the prologue and ignoring the game when I get home from work :/

Using ai for placeholders beats the entire purpose of what a placeholder is supposed to be. A placeholder is supposed to stand out so it can be spotted and replaced in the final product. Ai attempts by design to do the opposite, it tries to blend in according to specifications. Utterly stupid.

They say "Temporary assets made their way into the game" ...okay but what about the actual key art? Were those temporary assets too or were they just trying to pull a fast one?

Fuck ><

Oh come on. Temporary assets are made in a basic way. Not by an A.I. That's why they are temporary. Can dev teams stop making up shit, like at least just own it up if you want to do it. But do be aware not all will like what ya do with your game. Own up to your slop.

welp I guess I am not playing the demo or the game for that matter. Man, and I was really hoping it didn't use gen AI :(

Tragic, I was looking forward to this finally seeing the light of day

FUCK

The future is indie and community.

God dammit every single time like people know what placeholders are idk why they think the excuse works

Maybe just...don't fucking use AI in the first place?

Gotta love when a game you’re already on the fence about trying pushes you away. Bye-bye, generic historical fantasy game!

Just make your temp assets orange. You'll see them.

They understand that perfectly, they just don't care and are determined to force the issue regardless

The thing about a studio failing to disclose use of genAI in their games is that now I have to ask what else the studio is lying to me about. If you tell me you used genAI I won't buy that game, but if you get caught lying your studio falls off my radar permanently.

I'm getting real sick of these fucking "Oh there won't be any AI in the final product-" IT'S ALREADY THERE IF YOU'RE USING IT AS A BASE! I'm so glad I rarely buy new games anymore bc at least all the games I've bought pre-AI will never have Gen AI in them.

hold on just gotta wipe all these smudges off my screen.. ah there we are
