Gerard Bisbal Builds 1 Sci-Fi Universe With AI Across Podcasts, Art and Interactive Fiction

1 articles · Updated · Creative Bloq · Jun 15

Summary

  • NUVAGAIA is being produced largely by Gerard Bisbal alone, using AI to turn a sci-fi concept into a published transmedia project spanning podcasts, stories, images, videos, a wiki and interactive fiction.
  • AI became central because the world was too large for traditional solo production; Bisbal said it cut work that could have taken months or years into about 1 week of foundational worldbuilding.
  • ChatGPT, Gemini, Gemini TTS and DALL·E 3 support lore design, script development, voices and visuals, but Bisbal said human direction, revision and continuity rules determine what becomes canon.
  • The project mixes solarpunk with cosmic horror and is already testing reader-driven Thresholds stories whose choices feed back into the wiki, pointing toward possible future game, film or series adaptations.
  • Bisbal framed AI less as an author than as a production and exploration tool, arguing it can let solo creators attempt projects that once required teams and multimillion-dollar budgets.
