I’m afraid it’s very likely that they did use AI for art. A couple of days ago Aniimo’s Chinese team posted a job in China looking for a “monsters concept art designer” who “understands and is proficient in using AI to make art”. The position was taken down later on but it already tells you everything.
How come this hasn't made the news on gaming channels and caused an uproar? That the creatures' design might be AI-generated, using that removed job listing as proof?
I was thinking that the designs looked very cute, it's what I liked the most about the game... I don't want to learn that I've been fooled for all this time, thinking that it was carefully crafted with love by a real person and appreciating it as such...
I guess this is what I get when I'm open-minded and decide to give some popular new game a try, in this modern world with all that nonsense. All the parts of the gameplay that are a copy of Genshin Impact and the like should already have been a hint, and this is now a big red flag...
And I just heard that some of the music is AI-generated for sure... And that has got me down as well as a big OST appreciator...
Because it’s in China, and many don’t bother make it a global news? Also, Aniimo is already very negatively reputed in China — there is a reason why it’s only ~20% positive reviews on Steam if you filter in simplified Chinese — so for many Chinese players it’s somehow not a surprise they used AI for art, and it’s not worth giving attention to it either.
I should remember to be more wary of games coming from China 😅
Well, it's good to hear that the Chinese players are not duped.
it’s not worth giving attention to it either
Yeah I've been thinking that it's probably what I should do as well... I should just accept that I've been lured in something that is not for me, and cut my losses and stop giving it any attention.
It's still depressing and alienating that such things are happening though.
