Round8 Studio has posted an "AI Creator" job that would use generative AI to produce character and background concept drafts and create game models for its next projects.
The listing says the role is meant to "maximize the efficiency" of art production and improve visual quality by combining artists' creativity with AI productivity.
The responsibilities suggest AI use would extend beyond early ideation into multiple stages of asset creation, indicating a broader integration of generated art in the studio's pipeline.
Round8 is best known for Lies of P, so the posting points to generative AI playing a role in the follow-up to the Soulslike hit.
Can AI truly innovate a game's artistic quality or will it dilute the unique vision that made 'Lies of P' a success?
Amidst a global memory crisis driving up costs, is betting on AI a sustainable strategy or a high-risk gamble for game studios?
