A viral AI clip is being transformed into a full-on RPG, but its creator promises it's "free of AI-generated content"
Around six months ago, a Midjourney-generated clip of a person walking through a pixelated, Wizordum-esque fantasy world caused a stir. Despite being just five seconds long, the video from X user 'Desimulate' was labeled everything from an AI abomination to a stunning concept for a game. Capitalizing on its virality, Desimulate announced they were spinning up an indie studio called OMW (an homage to the clip's original caption) to do just that: turn this five-second concept into a full RPG. I have to admit, I didn't really believe it, and while I'm still not 100% confident that this will see the light of day, the game's newly revealed Steam page does go some way to validate its developer's intentions. Remarkably, though, there's no generative AI disclosure in sight for OMW's debut game, Shores of Vaelithar. Speaking to PCGamesN, Desimulate says that their studio is "not using AI to develop any in-game asset" and that its new trailer is all "in-game footage."Read the full story on PCGamesN: A viral AI clip is being transformed into a full-on RPG, but its creator promises it's "free of AI-generated content"
