I hear you on that, Tokenugget. In the end, I think it will be a combination of 'concept renders or sketches' to send AI in the right direction and then AI nailing the render you want to have. At the same time, I do feel for the people who spend night after night in 3D programs creating these wonderful fantasies for us. It gets really hard when the AI can just cook up whatever you can imagine.
- I mean, Jeez... Those AI renders are amazing. I can't wait for AI to improve! These devs have to spend sooo much time configuring the renpy image archaically. I can't wait for the day a dev has to only focus on a good story and dialog. It's kind of sad, but we all know it's coming, give it a couple years and all the time devs spent on improving their skills with renders will be mute. Welcome the AI overlords.
Most developers are strong in the 3D department, average in the coding department and not that strong in the story department. It would call for a shift in this genre we're playing in. Maybe even in video games in general. Because I think AI will help with building a better story as well. In fact, I think with GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5, this might already be possible. It won't let you do adult stories of course, but you can generate the basic premise and work from there.
I'll let you know, I'd love to create a VN myself. But I have so much trouble rendering a single image, let alone do 400 renders for a VN. Maybe someday, it'll become a reality due to AI. It's up to us as humans to figure out what our role can be in this new world.
