Well this is sure to be an interesting one and will no doubt spark up some comments - Zarathustra is an in-development point and click adventure that looks intriguing but the way it's made will raise some eyebrows.
I have to admit…it does look pretty good but it's made with AI tools. Which in many ways, opens a big can of worms. Not just AI giving a bit of a hand, but a lot of it was done thanks to AI. The developer, Tim Rachor, doesn't hide it either and states it clearly on the itch.io page that "Most of the Art was created with Dall E 3 and the voice over comes from https://elevenlabs.io/".

The developer said only the first day in-game is available, and they will continue it if people show interest for them to carry it on. They say it's a "rather casual experience with no dead-ends or overly difficult puzzles".
Find it on the itch.io page.

maybee its only good that the technical aspect decreases an creativity happens purely by imagination words singing and all kinda different nuances and details and the result appears right on the screen. more spiritual in actuality !? how many are artistic souls butare blocked by some technical obstacls or unwillingness to learn those

One the the beauties of art is that you can sense (or just illude yourself, but still) a human contact with the artist itself.
AI will just throw that away, yet another step versus the flat(er) future world.
Please, don't buy that; If you're running out of good stories, read a book full of words (written by a human).

I'm thinking I should just have AI fork the Ultima IV Remastered for the c64 and do the porting work to the Atari 8bit computer. I mean, why not? It'd be quicker than me learning 6502 assembly language, and how to use display lists for the Atari and C64...

Its great to see technology allowing more people to get into game development, this looks really interesting.

every new teknologi that comes along encounters this, imagine if farm workers had the internet to voice their dismay on back when tractors first appeared:
"built on the backs of real farm workers!"
"Look at all the nicks and dings in those tractor harvested potatoes!"
etc..
Still the farm workers found other employment, and the world kept turning.
And yeah the "AI" is coming for my job too as a programmer - it will either be a miserable failure or I'll find other employment. The world will keep on spinning. ;)

Quoting: Guppyevery new teknologi that comes along encounters this, imagine if farm workers had the internet to voice their dismay on back when tractors first appeared:Believe it or not, the whole mechanized agriculture model is still controversial. Lot of juries are out about the net impact there, which is still creating slums, eroding soil, destroying rural communities and associated with overuse of chemicals to this day.

So that's not necessarily a reassuring analogy.

So you're saying that comparing two groups of workers whose work and the products thereof have traditionally been undervalued, and in the modern age are being forced out by corporate (or wearing the "corporate-funded nonprofit" figleaf) interests is apt after all?
And yeah, from all indications from actual programmers who have looked into it, despite wild claims AI ain't coming for the programmers any time soon. But those fatcat illustrators living in luxury, they better look out.
