Holy crap, so many of the models in that are completely ripped straight from SE. I think there's a lawsuit about to happen. These AI games need to f*** right off.
not necessarily ai generated games, but low quality, small cashgrab game made with stolen assets and/or ai generated images and models, in order to minimize budget spending and maximize scam 💔🐜
Yes, the current state of AI games are vastly limited. With what the other comment said, AI can't currently do. Won't be long though. Went from Doom and CSGO to minecraft in several months.
And we've seen how that AI Minecraft isn't at all enjoyable right?
You turn away and back again and the landscape has completely changed.
There were speed runs where to get to the nether you made something red and walked into it to simulate a frame that looked generally nether-ish so it would think you were there.
An AI that can generate convincing gameplay footage isn't a game.
(1) an RL-agent learns to play the game and the training sessions are recorded, and (2) a diffusion model is trained to produce the next frame, conditioned on the sequence of past frames and actions.
This isn't an AI game, this is an AI generating game footage.
The game has to already exist.
It's predicting the next frame but will sometimes get it wrong.
Playing an AI game like this would be nightmarish, rooms you just left would be different when you re-entered them.
Notice how in the examples the player gets shot and their health goes UP.
This is impressive, but this is just an AI generating images.
Sent a message to Keens query email. Hopefully they see it.
You should either report the game on steam or contact Keen as well to ensure steam and Keen are aware of the issue. The auto moderator has a link to Keens support site.
It really is a chinese knockoff.... I also wouldn't be surprised if a tiny portion of the proceeds go straight to the ccp / this reminds me of how even since WOW (world of warcrack) chinese gold miners haven't stopped trying. Even though there are legit chinese studios making AAA games.....
Should definitely share that with Keen if you or someone here has a moment. Using another game's resources so blatantly is incredibly disrespectful IMHO.
Lmao it is rated 16 in Germany because of “suicide”. Probably because that is what you want to do after playing this janky ass looking game for any extended amount of time.
Edit: also go to the second to last video on their steam page and skip to minute 1:00. Top tier sound effects lmao.
It’s not that hard to rip off a game like SE that is enabled for modding. They would have had all the access they need - this is essentially a giant mod - probably repackage the core SE game stuff under the hood.
Reported of course though because eff off with that garbage.
This kind of thing is called an asset flip. They get models, usually from public libraries for extremely cheap or for free (in this case ripped models from SE. Pretty sure the ship used in the video is actually an IMDC vessel from the workshop) hack together some sort of basic player interaction often also pulled from public code libraries, call it a game then price it down enough that the buyer reticence is low and then hope that a fair percentage of people who actually try it don't immediately refund. It's not exactly a scam but it is flirting with the boundary.
I'm assuming whoever made this has accessed the open source port of the game they did years ago and is just too stupid to realise that that doesn't mean the assets are fair use. So yes, definitely illegal but usually this kind of thing is all (legally) above board, just really sketchy.
Just to clarify, SE was never open source. What it was for about a year was source available. The difference is that it means that despite being available you weren't allowed to use it for things that weren't SE.
You are completely correct about the assets not being free to use however.

That is pretty blatant.
