Desimulate, a software engineer, created a viral five-second AI-generated pixel art clip inspired by Daggerfall, which he now seeks to expand into a full game. He used Midjourney and various reference art to refine his creation but acknowledges the limitations of current AI tools for generating an actual game. Although AI can produce simple clips, it struggles with the complexity required for detailed open world RPGs. Desimulate emphasizes the need for high performance and is looking to hire game developers to help realize his vision.
The viral post was the result of working closely with Midjourney, using lots of specific reference art to hone the outputs while also trying to spur them into generating something new.
AI can generate a five-second clip, but it's nowhere near being able to generate an actual game based on it, let alone one as ambitious as an open world fantasy RPG with extremely detailed pixel art.
At the end of the day, it's going to have to be performant. The 3D generation stuff right now... the meshes are just not up to snuff.
Desimulate is now trying to hire people who are game developers to turn his five-second vision into a fully realized game.
