@lathomas64 yep. Updated the description with the current stack. Want to see what can be done. Obviously this also means being extremely explicit about how I'm using it.
Hardest game ever. 10/10 (Jokes aside, f'in brilliant!)
@juhani-koskinen Thanks :)
Pretty funny. I enjoyed Neil and his spoon and the janky AI voice acting too!
@weirdbitgames Thanks! Did you get any of the other endings?
As a tech demo, I liked it. The story was a bit short =) Great work.
@henrik-ganard Did you only get the first ending? I think based on the reviews I've been getting it's not obvious there are many
Ahh, I need to go back then.
@henrik-ganard I appreciate the feedback. I'm making a few post jam edits to make it clear that you can in fact, leave the room haha.
And just so, the world opens up =) Thanks for the comment.
Cool!
The astronaut Neil brought a psychic alien from the outer space and he turned out to be Mark Zuckerburg. Neil and the boy need to test the alien's psychic power by letting him bend the spoon, while analysing with the computer with the help of Sam Altman. But Whoopi Goldberg and Elon Musk smelt the danger of the aliens. Whoopi felt upset for knowing from the experience of startrek, human cannot survive from the alien, while Elon was expediting on the robot legs to prepare for the unevitable fight against the alien Zuckerburg.
@xlores-liang Oh my first fan theory!
pure mister Tyson, what a life without spoon...
Cool experiment! 😃
A tool you might find interesting: ControlNet combined with Stable Diffusion can make people be in various poses, not just head on.
Cool game with a fun story. I like it!
Fun sense of humour! It was interesting to read about your process. The text was a little slow, but having it speed up when you click and hold helped a little. It would have been even better if holding your click to advance to the next line of text automatically switched back to the fast typing mode.
Good work!
Oh man. I don't know what to make of this game. It's a pretty interesting idea to make as much as possible with AI and see what happens. The results are a lot like I expected from the current state of AI: weirdly good in a few places, but lacking in grand vision, and frequently stuck in a few narrow pathways.
Some things that would've been better regardless of AI: text speed and walking speed. Both were just a little slow. Did you try to get the AI to do any animations other than sliding the main character around? That would've been nice, although probably quite challenging.
I'm not a fan of the "dump a bunch of celebrities together and make weirdly boring fanfiction" angle but that sounds quite fitting for the kind of story you'd get with ChatGPT providing inspiration. I did nearly lose it at the hilarious line about asking Zuckerberg for legs though. Very on-point.
Overall quite a fascinating and different approach. The eye, boot, and door icons for activating things are all quite nice and generic usability stuff like that seems like a good use for AI tools in the future. I think I personally would hate using GitHub Copilot, which I've heard described as, "a kid who's eager to shout out the answer before it knows the whole question", but it's cool to hear the other side too.
Interesting experiment! I must be very hard try to keep everything looking consistent when it is difficult to give any context of the previously generated assets to the AI.
If I would do this myself, I would probably pick a few models for different purposes. Midjourney alone is just too general purpose model and you will run into difficulties to get it to generate specific things on a decent quality (like icons).
But overall, I think the end result you have here is quite good! It still has that AI vibe but you managed to hide it surprisingly well.
An impressive experiment! I actually learned a lot from your summaries. BTW, the texts you wrote is really funny.
@zerohalogen Yeah, it's all he cares about. haha.
@kinami Oh wow. This looks like exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
@lovewerk Yeah, oops. I should have made it faster. Crossed my mind during the jam. But i just kinda... didn't do it.
@mduo13 Haha. Thanks for the review. I only hear bad things about copilot from people who haven't used it. My strong rec would be to at least give it a try.
@nash Yeah, someone recommended ControlNet. And I think that would have helped a lot.
@jamesw Thanks :)
This game made me realize that I actually wouldn't mind watching a devlog of someone trying to make a game using AI, interesting stuff here.
The game itself could've used some QoL improvements, mainly text skipping and faster walking speed, music if possible. Still, made me chuckle a few times, congrats on submission!
Interesting experiment
Okay so I respect you for doing that, it's kind of a state-of-the-art assessment thing. Props for giving a detailed postmortem!
But other than being a cool experiment it's not really that interesting, I mean it's obviously rough but it wasn't enough on the crazy side of what AI can give to hit the really funny bar.
What I'm wondering is why you didn't try out some music generation. Maybe you run out of time? It's still a lot of work.
Wow, what an incredible setting! I was totally immersed in the steampunk setting. And this idea of a robot dreaming? Brilliant! I found myself talking to all the NPCs just to find out more. Very good!
I really enjoyed it, I must say I am a sucker for point and click games, so I was immediately hooked. And the premises of it being all AI is curious. I think a devlog or stream of the process (or a process like this) would be very interesting to see. Given that that is one of the main characteristics of the game, but naturally hard to see in the endproduct.
As a sort of state-of-the-art assessment of generative AI, this is extremely interesting. As a stand-alone game, not so much. Ironically, the thing I liked the best was the fourth wall breaking dialogue, which as I understand, is the only thing not AI generated.
Regarding art-style, I find this to be quite fascinating. While each individual piece is fine, the style is very inconsistent and doesn't really "work" together. Not sure how to explain it, it's like you asked 10 different artist to work on this project without giving them any direction on feel, theme, setting etc. Not sure how to overcome this problem with something like Midjourney without some crazy prompt engineering. Would love to hear your take on this problem.
Thanks for performing this experiment, your "postmortem" was especially interesting.
I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
