AI is the main trend of the year. Meanwhile, it is a fit tool for game development. Bloggers even prove one can craft a title from scratch with artificial intelligence services only. Is this approach relevant to GameFi? We’ll check it together.
What Does A Blockchain Game Need?
Similarly to conventional games, blockchain titles, from concepts to codes, can be made with AI. However, the code of a GameFi title is special. Let’s explore all the elements and find AI tools that can be used for their generation.
Concept
One can easily generate a game concept with tools like ChatGPT or Ludo. You only need to ask the AI to provide a relevant title description. You can set its target audience, genre, etc.
Plot
AI can provide you with a game’s plot and parameters. Again, bloggers mostly use ChatGPT for this. Meanwhile, there are other textual solutions, such as Writesonic and ShortlyAI.
Characters
On the level of ideation, characters can again be crafted with ChatGPT. Their dialogues can be designed with AI like Ghostwriter or Anyword. A title requiring NPCs or avatars can also be generated with AI tools like Avatar Cloud Engine, Character.ai, and Charisma.ai.
Gameplay
The gameplay of a title can be described by such popular services as ChatGPT. However, its detailed development requires multiple services. For instance, Unity ML-Agents can generate the needed environment and train characters, and Ready Player Me can be fit for assets, etc.
Visuals
Though many designers are against AI visual tools usage in game development, they are the most abundant. They can efficiently and quickly generate the necessary objects, make the most of drawing and animation, improve image quality, remove noise, detailing and simulate physical effects. For instance, NVIDIA DLSS can help you improve graphics quality while maintaining game performance, and Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI is a snatched choice for realistic visuals.
Audio
AI can provide a game with a complete soundtrack. One can use popular services such as Amper Music and Soundraw. Services like Kukarella and RVS can complete the voicework.
Code
AI, for instance, ChatGPT, can generate blockchain code and smart contracts, optimize chains, find errors, and predict potential bugs. Game tests can be automated with services like GameDriver. NFTs, in their turn, can also be thoroughly generated with AI.
Analysis
As you see, multiple tools for complete game generation via AI exist. Let’s evaluate their pros and cons.
Pros
AI can skyrocket game development and let creators save much time and money.
In terms of concepts, plots, music, and characters, it can analyze all the existing popular titles and shape brand-new original ones with all the fit cliches and archetypes being transformed. Gameplay can also be built nearly in a click.
Meanwhile, AI brings visual making to the next level, speeding up the work process tenfold. For example, with the help of Midjourney, Nao_u from Japan created a 2D game in three days. The result of the work is a Web2 horizontal sci-fi shooter Shoon. As for code and testing, AI can automate processes.
Cons
However, AI-driven game development with AI is not spotless. Creators who have already generated titles with such tools claim they lack creativity and user-friendliness that usually derive from the human factor. Besides, each aspect of blockchain game development has its particular cons.
Concepts, plots, characters, and dialogues from AI tend to lack smoothness. Especially when they are not made in English. With human editing, sounds tend to be more conventional and exciting. The main problem with visuals is ethical: major game studios ban AI for people not to lose their jobs. Meanwhile, coding by AI is notorious for having too many errors and taking too much time. A programmer can write it five times quicker.
Conclusion
AI tools can boost the creation of GameFi titles and attract more enthusiasts to the industry. However, no truly attractive title can currently be made with AI only. Human creativity, intelligence, and experiences are a must. Meanwhile, the situation can change later, and, who knows, maybe we’ll see fully-AI-crafted NFT games soon. Let’s wait for them with Prom!
