Plants vs. Zombies artist swears Just Run off AI art
Rich Werner, original artist on Plants vs. Zombies, says an image in his Just Run announcement contained AI art that someone else on the project posted as a placeholder. He apologizes, says he would never use AI art, and that he is making all of the art himself.
So. My post on the game Just Run that had AI art in it was lames. I was excited to finally announce what I’ve been working on and that image was posted by someone else working on it. The art that was AI was placeholder as I am making everything myself. I was just excited to…

A streamer says Sweeney is burning trust over Steam AI labels
Streamer GiveMeBanHammer says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney’s opposition to AI disclosures on Steam reminds them of Pirate Software’s campaign against Stop Killing Games. They call both cases people damaging their reputations by fighting a consumer-friendly rule.
Ngl, Tim Sweeney's opposition to AI Disclosures on Steam reminds me of Pirate Software hating on Stop Killing Games. Two people ruining their reputations over a consumer-friendly feature/initiative. I hope it was worth it. pic.twitter.com/WMTwsA6Qa3

Aftermath asks why games hide the AI they call the future
Aftermath asks why games hide blatant AI use if the makers think it is fine and the future, and links a piece on AI disclosure policy for Steam and PC games. The question is aimed at the gap between the sales pitch and the store page.
Why are games hiding their blatant AI usage if they think it's totally cool and fine and the future? https://t.co/hXqsNePJFn pic.twitter.com/GDqQYZUxEt

A PS1 dev says stamp the work “no AI used”
Elias Daler, who makes games that run on real PS1 and Dreamcast hardware, says if AI users will not disclose, artists and game makers should put a “no AI used” label on their own work. He says there is no downside, only attention, and that the other side cannot stop them.
If AI users don’t like AI disclosures and refuse to tell the truth about their AI usage, let’s just put “no AI used” label on our art and video games. There’s literally zero downsides and only positive attention to be gained from this. And they can’t stop us from doing that. pic.twitter.com/t4l9qEpnbg

A creator says World Labs’ Atlas finally lets you move the camera
Quoting World Labs’ post that Atlas is now open to everyone and can turn a 3D-world idea into keyframes, clips, or Gaussian splats, @88probs says a few minutes with it fixed set consistency that image models kept breaking. The shots come from a single Midjourney image, and he says friends making video games will get even more from being able to move the camera.
This is one of the most insanely cool AI tools I've seen yet. The creative possibilities this opens up are virtually endless. I've been using this for like 10 minutes and my jaw is on the floor. One of the hardest parts of making Stalk was set consistency between shots. Image… https://t.co/9TvvVqigms pic.twitter.com/wr8346irHr

A game builder says Claude is now strong enough for 3D props
Chong-U says one of the bigger recent leaps in AI for games is 3D, and that Claude models such as Opus and Fable are especially good at environments and props if you tell them to build the assets in Blender before they go into the game. He still uses Tripo and Meshy for character models.
One of the biggest leaps in AI over the past few months has been how well it handles 3D for games. Claude models like Opus and Fable are especially good at this for environments and props.

A player redraws AI armor in a Pathfinder mod
JaptheBaptist says the AI-generated armor in the Wokeless Wrath mod looks nonsensical and pulls him out of the game, so he is making his own replacement image. It is a small, hands-on rejection of AI art inside a mod rather than a store page.
I think its fitting that the Wokeless Wrath mod changed Seelah to a redhead seeing that the woke trend goes the opposite way, but that AI generated armor sucks and is nonsensical and completely takes me out of the game so I decided to try and make my own replacement image. pic.twitter.com/GOZEJ5BblG
