If games companies don't want to pay voice actors what they could do is just not have spoken dialogue. Games did that for decades. It's fine. Just DON'T USE THE PLAGIARISM SLOP MACHINE OH MY GOD IT IS NOT HARD TO NOT USE IT YOU JUST DON'T USE IT THAT IS ALL. GAMES DO NOT ALL NEED VOICES.

I'll be frank with you, I don't fuck with GenAI even a little bit. I don't care how fun a game is, if I catch wind that it was used in place of human work I'll drop the whole thing. I dropped Tribes over its AI banners, I dropped The Finals the minute a friend clued me in. Its a line I won't cross.

sidenote that if I had played Öoo (store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...) before I wrote my IGF thread it absolutely would have been on it. genuinely one of the best platformers I've played. 3 hours of all killer no filler and does more with two buttons than most games do with a full controller

I think the world would be a better place if more people understood the universe functions in cause and effect, and that understanding how systems function will allow you to achieve your goals while failing to understand them can have disastrous results.

spell idea: steal door.
fires a bolt which creates a door in the first wall it hits. removes a random door from elsewhere. there must be a closed door somewhere in the current map.

This is why I don't think we've delivered on open worlds in games still. The pitch for open world games used to be "what if I could go past this invisible wall". But now the pitch is "here's a list of chores in an open world"
for me an exciting sense of exploration for me isn't a giant world map, it's being able to wonder if there's an entire world of things I haven't seen under any given bush, even that one I passed hours ago. a sense of inner life that defies "good game design"

Let me be clear:
If your game uses genAI voices, art or writing, I will simply not engage with it.
If you didn't bother making an effort, why should I?
