Using Generative AI for Game Development Subject to Technical Constraints
Yasuo Kawai · 2024
This study explores the integration of generative AI in game development, focusing on shooting games. We propose a hybrid approach combining AI capabilities with human creativity, utilizing the PLATEAU 3D city model and spatial reproduction displays. Our method addresses AI limitations in creative tasks by imposing technological constraints, resulting in innovative gameplay experiences. We implemented generative AI across various development stages, including character design and programming. The integration of PLATEAU data and spatial reproduction displays within Unity created an immersive stereoscopic environment. While AI enhanced development efficiency, limitations were observed in creative tasks and novel device programming. Our findings highlight the potential of generative AI in game development and suggest applications beyond entertainment. This study provides a foundation for effective AI utilization in game creation, emphasizing the importance of a balanced hybrid approach.
