In an interview with VGC<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Kosuke Okatani,\u00a0producer on Foamstars<\/em>, said that the development team used AI generation tool Midjourney to create in-game art for album covers for the game\u2019s soundtracks but explained that the majority of the game was still made by humans. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAll of the core elements in Foamstars<\/em> \u2014 the core gameplay, and the things that make the game enjoyable \u2014 those are all made by hand,\u201d Okatani told VGC<\/em>. \u201cHowever, we did want to experiment with AI as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this year, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu said in his New Year\u2019s Day letter<\/a> that Square Enix intends to be \u201caggressive\u201d in its use of AI in development and publishing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn the short term, our goal will be to enhance our development productivity and achieve greater sophistication in our marketing efforts. In the longer term, we hope to leverage those technologies to create new forms of content for consumers, as we believe that technological innovation represents business opportunities,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this month, SAG-AFTRA signed a deal with Replica Studios<\/a>, an AI voice software company, that would allow performers to license their voice exclusively with the company for use in video game projects. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A Square Enix PR representative further elaborated on Foamstars\u2019<\/em> use of AI to VGC<\/em>: <\/em>\u201cIn this instance, we experimented with Midjourney using simple prompts to produce abstract images. We loved what was created and used them as the final album covers players will see in the game. Everything else was created entirely by our development team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
