We’re not sure there was an enormous amount of interest in upcoming roguelike Let It Die: Inferno anyway, but publisher GungHo Interactive may have torpedoed interest in the game with its latest Steam page update.
Valve now requires developers to disclose whether their games use generative AI, and in the case of the aforementioned, it may be more useful to describe which parts were actually made by a human instead.
“AI generated content has been used and then edited by our team for certain parts of the in-game voices, music, and graphics,” the disclaimer reads.
Among the assets created by AI are “background signboard textures, record illustrations, InfoCast videos, and voices and music”.
The game’s been developed by Super Trick, a company based in Japan which also worked on the original Let It Die game.
Obviously, it’s not the only game using AI, as evidenced by Call of Duty recently. But this does strike us as a particularly egregious case.
Has this altered your interest in the game? How do you feel about paying for games with assets created using AI? Let us know below.
