    Project Genie evades all that and handles these building blocks itself, but remember that it doesn’t actually build games, per se. When you ask it to make a clone of Super Mario 64, it will dupe it rather impressively, but all you get is basic movement with a free camera that can look around the map. There are no objectives, and the AI often forgets what it has already generated when filling in gaps.

    Lmao

      Traditional video game making is dead now!

      Well, maybe some of the AAA stuff should be worried…

        There will come a point when AI helps massively in creating games. But It will take quiet a while until we can use this to play a game.

        I guess this will eat up a huge amount of calculation power which now player wants to pay to play it regularly.

      I don’t really know what’s impressive about ripping assets and then cloning them into a basic game engine.

        It’s not even really a game engine. More like a 60 second interactive hallucination.

    How can that energy and water-guzzling shit kill the industry when it can only generate 60 seconds interactive video clips AND isn’t even a novelty, as it’s been unveiled months ago?

    I mean, it is impressive, but an industry killer? Naaaah. I’d rather play a human-made rpg-maker game than look around in a 60 second clip that needs a nuclear reactor and depriving the entire world of hardware access just to generate a single frame of slop.

    You know, energy efficiency.

      Because investors are dumb as a brick and have no idea what the difference is between those 60 second clips and an actual game.

      They’re just being planted some ideas and react accordingly. It’s all a huge scam.

    Should I go ahead and start a digital conservatory before AI starts modifying copies of all the shit we love?

    so it has all the same problems as any previous attempts. It keeps forgetting what it already did. Even games with non-euclidean geometry have to follow some kind of consistent logic

    This is going to be unpopular but I was kinda hoping we could get to where old games could be mostly ported over to new engines. Im talking long in the tooth mmos especially that have so much content and could renew them. If the publishers could feed in source code and get mostly something that works they they just need to go bug hunting and it could save the games community from the game going offline when it does not make enough money to warrant a relaunch and people don’t lose the stuff the accumulated like what would happen with a relaunch.
