The name being mentioned here is Firmament – the latest puzzle game from developer Myst Cyan Worlds. In 2019, when the project was still on paper, Myst Cyan Worlds received a lot of support and even, fans raised and raised up to $1.4 million for this developer with an estimate of $1.4 million. looking forward to seeing Firmament appear on platforms soon. But now, when the game was released, many people were somewhat disappointed.
The reason stems from the fact that although it is a puzzle game that requires a lot of creativity and logic, it seems that Myst Cyan Worlds makes the most of AI technology in its development. Even in the introduction, this developer made no secret that many aspects of the game, including part of the plot, voice, character interactions, were created by AI. Even the list of things supported by artificial intelligence is so much that gamers will probably have to take a long time to read it all. Of course, Myst Cyan Worlds is also wise enough to share that AI does only part of the task. For example, 100% of the content, voice acting is performed by humans, but will be supported by the AI engine.
Although not explaining too deeply on this issue, but in the opinion of many people, it is highly likely that Myst Cyan Worlds used large language models similar to ChatGPT to create rough versions, which were then edited. by developers. This has led to the fact that right after Firmament was released, many gamers, especially those who have donated to the development of this game, expressed their displeasure when claiming that the use of AI in the game. the current time will lead to a decrease in the quality of the game. Especially with puzzle games like Firmament, the human element of creativity should be further enhanced.
Currently, Firmament still has about 500 positive reviews on Steam. At the same time, a number of errors have also been pointed out and the most important thing is that the puzzles are a bit tedious, while the context and plot are repetitive and lifeless. The content, which seems to be composed by AI, is also considered dull and lifeless.
