What if we take the power of Generative AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Google PaLM and put them into the hands of PLAYERS? At 2UP Games, that’s what we’ve been doing throughout 2023. “What the Draw?!” is live on mobile platforms, and we’ve built a handful of prototypes. This talk shares what we’ve learnt so far:
● What new things can we do for players with Generative AI?
● What are the challenges in building a game with real-time AI?
● What is the cultural impact of using AI in your game studio?
● How do players feel about AI?
● What tools and tech do we use?
