The studio openly adopts the use of AI.
Colopl, a considerable Japanese studio responsible for games such as the White Cat Project and Alice Gear Ages, revealed that over 80% of developers use generative artificial intelligence in their daily lives. Colopl has approximately 360 full-time employees.
Originally reported by Otaku Seken (Thanks, Automata), Colopl commissioned an internal investigation of the employee's use of generated AI. Research shows that marketing and management employees were more likely to use AI than engineers and designers.
20% of employees who do not use artificial intelligence say they don't feel the need to use AI or they feel uneasy about legal and ethical issues.
Suspicious achievements
It makes sense that Koropul's employees have sincerely embraced artificial intelligence, as they are also a leadership approach to technology. The studio recently announced Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, an AI-powered deckbuilder, The Divine Hunter, is due to generate cards only based on original art by former persona artist Kazuma Kaneko, but incorporates copyrighted materials from Disney and other companies.
Kawaguchi also said that training the AI behind Tsushin: God's Hunter took longer than he himself had only gotten all into his hands.
However, this does not suppress Colopl's AI embrace, but the studio has announced that ChatGPT will be incorporated into an internal site to make it easier for employees to access.
The use of AI appears to be more common in Japanese studios. Level 5 President Tomorrow has recently stated that video games are “80-90%” by artificial intelligence. Hino's statement made a strange jump to logic as it equated raw code generation with “creating a game.”
Colopl's latest game, The Forerentioned Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, currently holds a “mixed” review score on Steam. While many reviews are important to Kazuma Kaneko for participating in projects with AI, other reviews are critical of the game's mechanics.
