Duck AI Slop!!

Thank you! We'll add it to the list of games to post about

-E

If you choose to support devs still after this, then that's your prerogative. This team is not changing the way that they do things any time soon. If you don't agree with that then I'm sorry but this account isn't for you. (3/3)

Have a good one :)

While we do despise Gen AI, we do not run this account with hate for the people who use it, rather in hopes that this will spread information for people to make their own decisions on the matter. (2/3)

🧵Regardless of their reasoning behind using Gen AI, they still used it. Gen AI is still stealing, destroying the planet and killing people.
ANY use of Gen AI is bad and has an impact, which is why we make posts on everything no matter how big or small. (1/3)

Thank you @stargazerkg.bsky.social for the heads up!!

"Hi everyone! To address some of your questions about the nature of certain assets in the game, I'd like to clarify that some of the promotional images you can see on the buildings in the background were created using AI as placeholders. I'd love to swap all the signposts for fully handmade versions, but at the moment I don't have the capacity to create everything immediately while also finishing the core gameplay and the rest of the game. I do plan to replace them gradually in the future, since right now my focus is on getting the game done. I hope you understand"

A black textured background with red text in the middle which reads "Love You To Pieces"

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: The goal of AI's use during our production was for it to be used sparingly, and speed up production of elements deemed trivial in that they don't affect the intrinsic spirit of the game or artstyle. AI was used in the generation of some textures and objects that were later composited to create scene backgrounds (similar to the photo-bashing technique used by concept artists). Lastly, some voices and voice lines were generated by text-to-speech tools.

UPDATE on this game provided in the comments, make sure to read the thread to stay informed!

Thanks so much to @mxfee.bsky.social for their Bluesky post providing further updated information on this Title! - B

In terms of our replies and dms being off. We disabled these as we saw what happened with SLOP DETECTED, and refuse to leave ourselves open to the same death threats and harrassment that they unfortunately recieved. -B

Also, we can confirm the info came from a source outside the team emailing us these screenshots. Not anyone on the team.

We cant be sure if it was who the devs reffering to in their email, nor would we confirm if we could as we take the safety of those who send us information seriously.

It is sad to hear the dev doesnt like that the games on this account. But our aim isnt to upset anyone, its to simply make people aware of gen ai usage in things so they can make educated decisions about what they consume.

🧵 UPDATE: An email exhange with a dev confirms that they're in the process of getting the Steam Art replaced.

HOWEVER, they also re-confirmed that they use chatgpt for coding questions so its still effecting content the in game, so this post will stay up with this update.

Thank you so much Mx Fee!

Encounter the lost cards steam image

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: Only the song and promo images on Steam were AI generated—specifically the music video and capsule/page backgrounds. I know, I know! I’ll get them professionally done once I make some sales. The game itself is hand crafted

Encounter: The Lost Cards
Salvator Grosso. Steam disclosure -y

Wild Assault promotional post, there is a red fox furry anthro on the right. Slightly blurry, and the right hand has claws, but the left hand holding the gun has no claws and has weird textures behind the trigger. Maybe an extra finger merging with the gun. The fox's eyes are also off and looking incorrect

Confirmed gen-ai promotional example. Look at the hand holding the gun

Combat Cat Studios official discord post. Some lore about Ranger and Normal, and Jack. They ping a game news role, there is a gen-ai image posted with the lore.

Nightmare Circus steam image

Steam player posted saying Please remove the AI voice acting. I'd much rather hear Thai audio or English audio instead of a robot. Either that or the narrator sounds way too robotic. Devs reponded with, "Thanks for pointing that out! prayer hands emoji. That voice is actually a placeholder for the demo. We'll have full voice acting in the final version, promise thumbs up emoji."

Nightmare Circus
FairPlay Studios. No disclosure, steam player found it in the demo and the devs responded that they promise to have real VA's in full game. -y

Barkour steam image

Barkour Demo Update from steam, Listening, Learning, Improving. Hey everyone, We have read every single review and comment about the barkour demo - the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. It wasn't easy, but it was fair. Thank you for telling us what didn't work. We know the public demo might have come a little too early, but as we say in Poland - the milk has already been spilled. We're a small team, and sometimes that means learning things the hard way. But we're not giving up - quite the opposite. We've been working hard to fix the biggest issues as quickly as possible and to keep improving the Barkour demo step by step. The first update focuses on the main issues you pointed out: 1. Removed temporary AI voiceovers 2. Improved text readability (better contrast and subtle drop shadow) 3. Refreshed tutorial visuals 4. Updated ai warning prompt, now it's "No VO warning" 5. Fixed fall damage 6. Fixed reset shortcut bug Of course, removing the voiceovers is only a temporary solution - the final game (and hopefully soon the demo as well) will feature professional voice acting to give our characters even more of that special agent charm. For your information - we are also working on adding Settings and additional languages to the Menu. Thank you for staying with us and for giving us the chance to grow through feedback. it really means a lot VARSAV Game Studios Team

VARSAV Game Studios. No disclosure, used gen-ai voiceovers initially but after feedback from the demo they say they're removing them. -y
