UPDATE ON THE AI CONTROVERSY IN THE LIES OF P SEQUEL
Recently, concerns arose in the community after a job posting for an “AI Creator” was discovered at Neowiz and Round8 Studio, leading many to believe that the Lies of P sequel would use AI-generated content in its core development.
However, both companies have now officially clarified the situation:
- The position is NOT directly involved in the production of the Lies of P sequel.
- The job belongs to an independent artistic R&D team within Round8.
- Generative AI tools would only be used during preliminary pre-production stages, such as internal visual references and art direction exploration.
- All final game assets will continue to be created by experienced human artists.
- Furthermore, they assure that any model used would be trained exclusively on material for which they hold full legal rights.
In other words:
The controversy arose from the interpretation that AI would be directly replacing the artwork in the final game, but according to the official statement, the goal is to use it as an internal tool for conceptual support, not to generate the final assets we'll see on screen.
Even so, the debate about the use of AI in the industry remains open, especially regarding issues related to creativity, intellectual property, and the preservation of traditional artwork.
What do you think?
Does this clarification reassure you, or are you still worried about the direction the industry is taking?
