I can't believe the day has come but it's time to announce that I will be stepping away from Hirez/Smite. It's been 11+ years, and more if you count esports and actually playing Smite, and it's kinda been the center of my life, it has truly made me who I am today. 1/3

@KindaSortaMaebe and in these cases the blame usually goes back to the person whose hand was forced, because "they didnt remember" or "it wasnt flagged appropriately" when it never should have existed in that form in the first place, and wouldn't have if leadership had any mind for their work

@KindaSortaMaebe there may be a sad reality where the devs asked to use generated placeholders are well aware and practiced, but their hand was forced by management that is incapable of squinting past clear placeholders to envision a final version

The lie behind claiming โ€œAI content was only used for placeholder assetsโ€ is that any experienced dev knows itโ€™s bad practice to use placeholders that are not obvious. you need the greybox or checkered texture so it stands out & you know at a glance that it needs replacing.

Crimson Desert@CrimsonDesert_

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

@JustJessDev @NordicOni Very peculiar they're using GenAI as reference here but running around on Twitter accusing artists of it. "I didnt mean to offend" is wild to say when your comment is an accusation that would mean we are lying to our customers about what we create.

@NordicOni @ManaMoonArt totally, and you nailed it point being, criticism is inherently personal and valid from the perspective of the individual giving it, and im tired as fuck of AI too, but @KAINONAUT is homie and jumping to AI is destructive criticism that ignores any possibility of artistic intent

@JustJessDev @ManaMoonArt I wouldnโ€™t call your hand shitty, itโ€™s structurally sound and shows the intent you were going for, I get it on how the cloth looks for mine it was hard to portray what I wanted to go for which is the flames circling around his hand as an energy emitting force and pressure

@NordicOni @ManaMoonArt siiiick, how the cloth folds and pinches reads a bit unnaturally to me but that doesnt take away from an overall great piece with lots of energy and motion in it this is how its done if you have criticism btw, before crying AI really good hand, shitty one from me out of respect

@ManaMoonArt Literally how the hands are laid out are off and donโ€™t make sense, it looks like an ai image because it too also doesnโ€™t know who to draw hands

I think a lot of people dismissed this because it was Minecraft but Dungeons really is one of the best dungeon crawlers ive played and they had a lot of great features like battle passes that dont expire. I will be playing this day 1
