The use of artificial intelligence in video game development has become a thorny and divisive topic over the past couple of years, and so naturally it was a topic of conversation during a recent press Q&A session with The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/a>\u2019s game director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. The former Witcher 3 director revealed that generative AI technology is used at the studio as part of the development process, used with the intention of preventing stress and overtime rather than creating final assets. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Tomaszkiewicz revealed that generative AI voices were used during the early stages of The Blood of Dawnwalker’s development, with the intention of testing and locking in the script before it was handed over to actors. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn our genre, when you work on an RPG game \u2013 which is recorded in [six] languages, right? \u2013 the VO (voice over) is really hard and really costly stuff to do. You need to be sure that what you’re recording is what you want to record. Because, first of all, changes are really expensive. But the second thing is that, the moment when you start to hear the game, hear the NPCs and so on, is the moment when you figure out that something in the story works or does not work. And when you record all of this, and that moment you figure it out and you want to change the story, you [have to] record again a whole [section] of story, and it’s really expensive.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a really bad process,\u201d he continued, \u201cbecause when you start to change stuff in the middle of production of the game, it makes pressure for the team. It makes problems and overtime and other stuff, and we wanted to avoid that. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s why we use these kind of tools in the beginning, to do iteration of the story. And when we\u2019re sure that we are where we want to [be], we remove all those [AI] voices and record everything with the actors.\u201d<\/p>\n
