With video games becoming larger and more detailed, automation is the only way that games can be developed quickly enough. This defining feature made it a fan favorite and helped Diablo to develop a cult following.įor game design though, automation, at least in its present form, is a tool to be used by developers, rather than something that will replace them. Ever since the first version of the game was released in 1997, it has used randomization to change the layout of the map, the items found in it, and the quantity and placement of monsters. The game Diablo also uses these artificial intelligence techniques to create maps that vary each time you play them. No Man’s Sky uses algorithms to generate environments that mimic patterns found in nature and manipulate graphical elements that have been created by human designers. To create such a large open-world game, the company needed artificial intelligence to create a “procedurally generated universe”.
Yet, it has been able to develop the massive exploration-survival game, No Man’s Sky. This means that even small development companies can produce large-scale games.įor example, the British company Hello Games had a team of just 20 game developers in 2018, and only four in 2013. Large open worlds and maps can already be partially created by using AI.
Given that creative jobs should be at less risk, it is perhaps surprising that video games are already, at least in part, designed by artificial intelligence.
