AI plays a major role in video games. Instead of dealing with AI as opposition or ally to a player, Niklas Höhnk tries to asses the potential of AI as a tool and helper in the creation process of games. For this project, an AI prototype was trained to render images based on a simple sketch. In this case in the context of Creature Concept Art assisted by AI-based image synthesis.
Coming from a Game Art and Animation BA background, where his final project was the reconstruction of an historical artifact, Höhnk now looks into what the future might hold for game developers.
