I knew that "No AI used" is going to become a huge selling point for many products. And I think this is just the start.
That's excellent. And as these mega corps watch consumers favor those products. Maybe, just maybe they'll fucking implode. That's just a fantasy I know.
The reality is software engineers will use AI or will find themselves out of work as they won't have the skills to get hired.
Customers may never know if AI is used as a tool in game creation but it will always be part of any software and development studio.
Using AI for music or design assets is totally different from using it for the code base and blanket statements don't improve the situation
I disagree with your statement, unfortunately.
Ok sure, but how much of the game will actually be generated by dolphins?
This will probably be just another example of HUMAN appropriation when plenty of dolphin developers are struggling to even find work in this industry. Maybe when dolphins are literally the subject matter of the game we could consider inclusivity in its development?

In the original game I’m sure you had to be a dolphin to beat the first level
You know, I recall playing this at a friend's house decades ago and being totally, utterly, stuck on the first level for like... many hours.
So yeah, you may be right about that.
Was there like, a maze in that level? I think I remember a maze that ultimately led to a smaller area of open water, where you were just like "well fuckin' now what?"
Look buddy, I don't give a single fuck about your #EccoFascist bullshit.

OMG NEW ECCO GAME
I'm so fucking pumped for new Ecco games. I loved the original on Genesis and it's about damn time we get some fresh stuff in the series.
Even better with this statement
I hope they make an effort with the soundtrack. For me that was a big highlight on all games (specially Sega CD).
What about the code?
Written by an actual dolphin
What if I use DLSS to upscale and add frames?
Maybe the new Ecco game will be optimized well enough to not need or include DLSS and frame generation. 🤷♂️
If they use that stuff and it's still a 2D platformer, holy fucking shit. 🤣
DLAA then
I need 800fps. One of my Steam games was 800+ fps on its HUD even though it was on a 60fps monitor. My GPU was going at 100%.
The game can run faster than the refresh rate; you just won't be seeing more frames than 60 a second.
I paid for whole GPU.
Well it wouldn't be a single pixel then, would it?
A new Ecco game?? Yess. Love the genesis versions
AI is quite bad at pixel art in fact.
It understands things must look roughly made by squares, but it doesn't understand what pixels are and their fixed grid.
To be fair, humans are also bad at it these days, judging by the amount of mixels.
even if it is exclusively trained on pixel art?
Yep. It will create something that at a glance looks like pixel art, then you zoom in and find anti-aliased rectangular pixels made out of three different shades of the main color, a weird line, and no clear grid.
If you use a pixel art export node in ComfyUI that won't be a problem. There's a whole guide about it here:
https://inzaniak.github.io/blog/articles/the-pixel-art-comfyui-workflow-guide.html
A whole song and dance to post-process a broken pixel art image into a fixed grid. I'd rather just have talent or pay a human being that will make art in the first place, thanks.
Also, the example shown would be a terrible image to use as an asset, by the way. It's a clear example of not pixel art, rather, 2D art forced to be interpolated in a "pixel like" fashion (aka what happens if you do a few nearest neighbor passes and then a fixed grid downsampling)
Not a single pixel. So they will not generate a single pixel, but multiple pixels?
Ye i just saw a vid on ecco. Wishlisting fs
I remember getting irrationally pissed off at the genesis version when i was little lol. Great game though.
Nice
Watch... They'll make money by virtue signalling "no AI use" and then the second AI inevitably goes mainstream pivot to showing off because they use "the best AI". The trick is to make money no matter which way the wind blows.
LOL, it's not exactly niche right now, my dude.
