#𝟑 🚀 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ejvdEEff . We have used generative AI to produce high-definition background assets as part of the implementation of progression maps in our games. Backgrounds produced were matching not only the art direction of the game, but also specificities of regions that were chosen for our experiment. It's good to remember that this is not replacing artists in any way - assets created with the help of GenAi still need to go through a verification process. It includes removing elements, adjusting the colors and creating more legible paths by hand. A great example of how AI can be used to accelerate asset creation while keeping the core artstyle and visual identity of a game. Feel free to shoot me a message fore more information about the use of GenAI in the mobile gaming industry.
