What the developer says
In our game development process, we have adopted AI technology to generate art content, mainly for the character portraits of esports players and illustrations in game events. We hope to provide players with richer and more diverse character portraits, but considering the economic, manpower, and time aspects, we find it difficult to afford a large amount of hand-drawn content. We have tried to separate parts such as the mouth, face, and nose, and then assemble them into 3D characters, but the effect was not satisfactory. Therefore, we decided to try a new method: using AI to generate these contents. We used some of the content we had created before to train the AI model, allowing it to learn and understand the art style and requirements we want. Now, all the AI-generated character portraits and illustrations in the game are made by our trained model, and after completion, we also manually correct them. We deeply understand that AI cannot replace the creativity and uniqueness of real artists. For this, we feel very sorry, but we also promise you that “Esports Godfather” is not a work without sincerity. We have spent a tremendous amount of time polishing innovative gameplay and various experience content. In these four and a half years, we have been committed to completing a work that satisfies everyone. We hope you can understand our decision and continue to support our game. We will continue to work hard to provide you with a better gaming experience.
