Dear Appraisers, Thank you for the feedback. It matters to us. Neverness to Everness is built on human creativity. The characters, stories, and world you experience are the work of artists, writers, and designers. AI-assisted tools were used only on a small number of background and environmental assets, not on the characters or stories that define this game. We're already reviewing and reworking the flagged assets: "Clear Skies in Summer" and "Pink Paws Heist". Your feedback shapes this game, so please keep it coming. We're listening, and we're committed to delivering the quality you deserve. Sincerely, The NTE Team

Ironmouse, Shylily, AmaLee, and even the VA for the game, Maggie Elise, have come out against the usage of AI in Neverness to Everness. They cite being "lied" to about the use of AI, as well as being protective of the "artists" and voice actors for whom AI threatens... WHAT ABOUT THE PROGRAMMERS? WHAT ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS? Generative AI today is used universally in the development of software, and has already led to the loss of many software development jobs, especially for junior-entry level jobs. AI is already in every game, software, website, and yes, even on the backend of Twitch. Oh, but it's a different technology. No. Generative AI, whether it's LLMs with Claude code, or AI art-videos uses the same kind of transformer algorithm. AI is already in tons of games, especially in code, and they don't disclose that just because it's not "art assets". Requiring disclosure only for creative tasks, not for programming, is a double standard. You people don't care about other people's livelihood. You only care about the optics of playing a game on stream or taking sponsors NOW that the drama has unfolded into mainstream discourse. But they don't care that AI is used in Nikke art assets. Or that AI was used in E33. Or that AI is used in the software for all the modern games. AI is transforming how work gets done across EVERY creative and tech industry, just like previous tech waves did. Crashing out about the differences between “creative” and “technical” is stupid when both are replacing/augmenting human labor in exactly parallel ways. TLDR... pretending AI in programming is somehow “different” and harmless while AI in art is an existential threat is pure unadulterated hypocrisy.

VTuber Ironmouse has canceled her sponsorship with the game 'Neverness to Everness', and claims they lied to her about their use of AI “They had told my people that there’s no AI in it ... I didn’t know until I saw that thing on Twitter after the stream”

Neverness to Everness (NTE) faces backlash from streamers, voice actors, and players for generative AI usage. NTE is a recently released gacha game made in China by Perfect World studio. The game features open-world, "GTA-like" gameplay. >Twitch streamer Ironmouse dropped her sponsorship of NTE due to generative AI usage. >Players found AI usage in some cutscenes and background images that seem obviously AI-generated. >NTE voice actor Maggie Elise (they/them) announced that they will not continue working with the game if gen-AI usage is not addressed.
