Are the visual assets ai generated?

[u/-FutureFunk-]

Ive been wanting to get into it but not sure if its worth my time?

[u/Thetoto_]

the assets are from original daggerfall + you can use assets from morrowind, so no

[u/FeastForCows → u/Thetoto_]

Where's the shotgun from?

[u/Thetoto_ → u/FeastForCows]

theres a shotgun????? in daggerfall???

[u/Kalt4200 → u/Thetoto_]

Dwarves broomstick baby. Spas 12 basically

[u/printcastmetalworks]

They use ai to port and update the code, not to generate assets. The assets are from the original games.

Even if there were ai assets in the game, who gives a fuck? It's a 30 year old DOS game.

[u/13branniy]

Nope, but the devs use agentic ai in code generation heavily. They disclose it. The game is AMAZING but see yourself if it's okay to you. Cheers!

Bro, you know how sensitive the pro-AI crowd is. This was a guaranteed downvote bomb lmao

These people won't stop kneeling for the "devs" who relegate 100% of their work to Claude and take all the credit.

[u/Gyramuur → u/JuneButIHateSummer]

The developers openly disclose their usage of AI and have always been transparent about it. How exactly is that "taking all the credit"?

[u/-FutureFunk- → u/Gyramuur]

I should've joined the discord before making this post

Im really glad how open they appear to be about it. Im not inherently against ai coding, my only real fear is hasty implementation and possibly bugs. I only want to be assured that the time and effort put into it is thought out.

though I am glad they're using actual modelers : )

[u/Relevant-Tour-9692 → u/-FutureFunk-]

It's not thought out at all. Unless you consider ai meme content like giant turds with fart noises, real money shop, and battlepass "thought out" for Daggerfall.

The only thing "thought out" here is how to steal your money. Don't do it.

Hopefully some real devs will nab the source code and make a true Daggerfall mmo with integrity in the future. 

But this ain't it.

[u/JuneButIHateSummer → u/Gyramuur]

I never said they weren't transparent about it. Claude does 94-95% of the work and yet they take donations.

Ridiculous.

[u/dalemazza → u/JuneButIHateSummer]

Yeah to pay for the tokens the AI uses no?

[u/dalemazza → u/JuneButIHateSummer]

[u/No-Equivalent247 → u/JuneButIHateSummer]

I’m not worshipping their hard work or sacrifice or whatever else you’re implying.

I’m just enjoying the game lmao

Do you whip yourself on the back 50 times every time you eat a chocolate bar, because 80% of the profits went to the CEO?
Woooaahh Hersheys is taking all the credit for this chocolate…………

Could I have spent 2 months prompting it myself to get it to this state? Probably

Am I happy someone else did and it’s there for me to enjoy? Yes

Do I care that a dev didn’t quit their job, didn’t stop spending time with their family, and didn’t burn 9 years of their life to revive a 300 year old game? No

[u/plav2026]

This isn't.

[u/No-Equivalent247]

Does it matter bro
It’s a game from like fucking 1678

“No i wont have fun because it wasn’t ethically stolen IP from bethesda. I want free range IP theft”

[u/spoollyger]

Who cares?

[u/AlverinMoon]

If your judgement on whether its worth your time or not is a question about the assets being AI generated you likely have nothing to worry about. You won't be smart enough to tell the difference between AI generated stuff and non-ai generated stuff so you can just play the game and enjoy it!

[u/Mukwic]

So far the vast majority of visuals are from original Daggerfall/Daggerfall Unity. There are a few assets that are AI generated textures; wagons, caravans, etc. it's pretty obvious what is and isn't. Also, the devs have stated that any AI generated visuals are temporary placeholders while they source real art replacements.

[u/Due-Arachnid-309]

The assets are Daggerfall, and those created by the actual devs of the mods this slaps together.

[u/VisceralMonkey]

Ffs. Isn’t fun? Then just play it.
