本文将从实践出发,全方位的在美术,程序,策划, 音乐方面使用AIGC进行游戏开发的辅助创作,来探索AI的上限。
写在前面
不管AI发展到什么地步,要记住一点的是。它只是工具,还是要以我为主,为我所用。做好用工具的人,不做工具人。
相对于以往的AI制作超休闲小游戏来说,这次的话,直接做个中型体量的游戏,更能够充分运用到各种AIGC的工具和方式,并且进行融合创作。

游戏模式
游戏模式的话,我选战棋RPG,因为我喜欢玩《火焰纹章》。
Color photo of a turn-based strategy game set in a world inspired by ancient Greece, designed in the style of a Minecraft pixel art video game background. The game features epic battles between armies of mythological creatures, with players using strategy and tactics to outmaneuver their opponents. The game board is designed with simple, blocky shapes and bright colors, giving it a playful and childlike feel. The environment around the game board is lush and beautiful, with a sense of mystery and adventure. The mood of the scene is intense and competitive, with a sense of excitement and anticipation. The camera used is a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with a 50mm lens. The film type used is Ilford HP5 Plus. The photographer used a technique called "tilt-shift photography" to create a sense of depth and perspective. Some of the artists who would create a unique juxtaposition in collaborating on this scene are J.J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, and Rei Kawakubo. --c 10 --ar 16:9
考虑到战棋RPG游戏类型在市场上的表现一般般。这种类型的游戏的主要受众群体相对较为特定,在这个背景下,我会对一些玩法改变出改变,引入步进无锁的即时战斗模式,以替代传统的回合制战斗。这将增加游戏的紧张感和动态性,玩家需要更快地做出决策和战术规划,以取得胜利。这种类似实时战斗模式可以加入一些特殊技能和连击系统,让玩家在战斗中展现更高的操作技巧和反应速度。
其次,还需要简化的战略系统,以降低游戏的学习曲线和复杂度。只提供给玩家一个控触控的单位。同时,我们可以加入一些智能助手或提示功能,帮助玩家理解游戏机制和战斗策略。此外,我们可以将战棋RPG游戏与其他流行的游戏类型进行结合,以增加游戏的趣味性和多样性。例如,我们可以加入一些解谜元素,让玩家在战斗之外还需要思考和解决难题,做一些抉择。
我们基本的架构定下来了,就可以先让GPT4过下,参考一下AI的决策,提提建议,列列大纲。
GPT4,列大纲不错,自己的观点较少。它提及的角色互动和剧情分支方面是比较好的点,我之前未考虑到,会加入到游戏中去,填充不错的抉择剧情。还有基地建设的点,在战棋游戏中时比较少见,可以作为一个备选方案。
接着来听听,前OpenAI的员工做的,据说比GPT强3倍的Claude怎么说:
Claude的回答的风格感觉和GPT4差别还是蛮大的,它提供的建议会更详细。辅助单位这个设计不错,我想到了塔防游戏里的炮台。用来弥补玩家操作单主角的一个可控感的补充,以及对于地形的一个有趣的改变。
有了这些基本概念后,可以用Midjourney,做一个游戏原型的基本绘制,选择一些看着顺眼的方案(下一节展示)
世界观
这个游戏的的世界观呢,我选择三元对立做一个基本盘,感觉会比较有意思,三生万物嘛。
初始的这个设定,我不太满意,毕竟是作为给玩家的选择,较为负面的阵营,对于游戏的平衡和分支划分不利,过于脸谱化。所以换一个。
更换后,给我的感觉还不错,让AI归纳下,作为背景的蓝本。
Color photo of the Twelve Titans, the ancient Greek gods who ruled before the Olympians, standing in front of the Titans Academy of Magic, a wild and untamed school of magic in a world inspired by ancient Greece, designed in the style of a Minecraft pixel art video game background. The Titans are depicted as blocky figures, with their elemental powers represented in pixelated form, exuding a sense of retro charm and whimsy. The academy is designed with simple, geometric shapes and bright colors, giving it a playful and childlike feel. The environment around the academy is bright and cheerful, with a sense of joy and wonder. The mood of the scene is lighthearted and fun, with a sense of adventure and discovery. The camera used is a Google Pixel 5 with its native lens. The photographer used a technique called "pixel art" to create the Minecraft-style world. Some of the artists who would create a unique juxtaposition in collaborating on this scene are Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Virgil Abloh. --c 10 --ar 16:9
接下来,开始主线剧情设计。作为主角,我觉得还是要起于微末,生于草莽。魔法学院的学徒吧。
这次AI生成的质量非常高,完整的描述了学院的自然形态,我们可以直接用这些作为prompt来生成原画了。
Color photo of the magical Academy, a mysterious school of magic in a world inspired by ancient Greece, designed in the style of a Pixar animated movie. The academy is a grand and whimsical structure, situated in a lush valley and surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery. The environment around the academy is fantastical and surreal, with imaginative and otherworldly elements. The mood of the scene is playful and whimsical, with a sense of magic and wonder. The camera used is a Nikon Z6 with a 35mm lens. The film type used is Kodak Portra 160. The photographer used a technique called "compositing" to create the background and add special effects. Some of the artists who would create a unique juxtaposition in collaborating on this scene are John Lasseter, Sharon Calahan, and Marc Jacobs. —c 10 —ar 16:9 --v 5.1
考虑到世界观架构的背景故事,这样第一张比较贴近我需要的,可以在分为主楼,左附楼和右附楼来分别安放三个不同的学院阵营,所以进行进一步细化
主角的形象要丰富,给他点性格和特征。
主角叫李明(Li Ming)是个很好的点子,和当前的古希腊背景环境显得格格不入,有种冲突的疑惑在里面,可以埋一个很大的伏笔。
汗。。。。。chatGPT还真会夸人。。。。。我随口BB的。。。。。。那就这样吧。
