As the Lies of P sequel enters full-scale development, developer Neowiz says it's working on another Soulslike and a narrative RPG | Eurogamer.net

Responding to Eurogamer, the official response from Neowiz and Round 8 Studio is as follows:

"The job posting in question is not a role that will be directly involved in the production of the Lies of P sequel. Instead, they will reside within an independent art R&D team at Round8. GenAI tools are only used in preliminary stage work to improve efficiency of repetitive, foundational tasks. AI-generated visuals function strictly as internal reference material during pre-production, a method for establishing visual direction before formal production begins. The intent is to build a proprietary visual library trained exclusively on assets for which Neowiz and Round8 hold full legal rights. All final assets for the upcoming game will be created by experienced artists."

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?

I saw a lot of posts about this on twitter, and saw a lot of people bashing both Lies of P (not sure why if this is for a future game) and the company. So I went to their site to read the listing, and I think a few things need to be cleared up:

- This job listing is not for the Lies of P sequel. They are still hiring a narrative designer, level designer, level artist, developer, concept artist, engine programmer, combat programmer, content planner, level planner, etc. specifically for the sequel

- Their AI Creator listing is not for basic generative ai that people post on social media. It's more of an editing tool that needs a programmer. They want the employee to be both knowledgeable and experienced in real traditional 2D art and 3D modelling. Yes, it's meant to speed up processes, no it's not meant to replace the artists.

- Imagine needing to draw 400000 yellow bricks (example because the next game is oz, right?), instead of doing that you might draw 8000 bricks and then pass it to the AI creator in the team, "Hey, can you plug this into the program as data and increase the amount 50 times? I need to work on the Emerald city now." and the creator does so but then uses real coding/programming skills to tweak the generation so it retains the quality of the original 8000.

- The job listing states they want someone who understand the legal guidelines of both AI ethics and copyright

- If you're worried about AI training, Neowiz is building their library themself for the content they are creating, which means they won't be outsourcing material. Like the example earlier, it'll just go from one team to the next.

- AI isn't new in video games at all! In recent years, people see "AI" and immediately call it slop, but the AI usage in the video game industry usually isn't the AI that's harmful. (https://youtu.be/j3LW5no-5Ao) This video by a video game designer explains it well. Having majored in video game design (though my concentration was on writing and narrative, so I'm not the expert on all of the tech/visual side) and minored in visual effects, I can say using AI in software is starting to get pretty common in visual effects and animation too (not nearly as common as classic CGI though), it's near impossible to create some particles without the computer's help.

- Here’s a link to the listing in case anyone wants to check for themself: https://www.neowiz.com/en/career/browse-job/043f65b9-9c3e-4063-9a86-d73eccae503e

It's in Korean though, you'll need to use a translator if you don't speak it. I used a translator, so feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.
