PL.AI

This game shows the impact of artificial intelligence in both the final product and during the development process. Before writing the first line of code, I thought that AI was going to end many jobs on the spot. However, as I was working on the game I realized how, in its current state, AI is simply a stronger tool than what we have seen before. I wanted this to be reflected in the game where the characters of Emma, the QA lead, and the teacher at the beginning of the game were developed by an AI art generator. Along with this, the end of the game is set 20 years in the future even though your job as a playtester was impacted by the introduction of AI it is simply reimagined where the AI takes care of the technical playtesting where you now observe the subjective aspects of game development such as whether the art looks appealing. The game helped me learn while I was developing it and hopefully brings a different perspective to the player.
