I somehow read “not a single pixel will not be AI generated” at first. My brain just defaulted to that. I was confused by the replies for a minute straight.
Ok sure, but how much of the game will actually be generated by dolphins?
This will probably be just another example of HUMAN appropriation when plenty of dolphin developers are struggling to even find work in this industry. Maybe when dolphins are literally the subject matter of the game we could consider inclusivity in its development?
That’s excellent. And as these mega corps watch consumers favor those products. Maybe, just maybe they’ll fucking implode. That’s just a fantasy I know.
Yep. It will create something that at a glance looks like pixel art, then you zoom in and find anti-aliased rectangular pixels made out of three different shades of the main color, a weird line, and no clear grid.
A whole song and dance to post-process a broken pixel art image into a fixed grid. I’d rather just have talent or pay a human being that will make art in the first place, thanks.
Also, the example shown would be a terrible image to use as an asset, by the way. It’s a clear example of not pixel art, rather, 2D art forced to be interpolated in a “pixel like” fashion (aka what happens if you do a few nearest neighbor passes and then a fixed grid downsampling)
The person above you is wrong, while a generalist model will struggle to make valid pixel art, either a specially trained model or one with elements to force a specific structure could make generative pixel art.
It’s the same kind of sadness that I feel knowing that a ton of YouTubers who would rather not show their face now have to just so that people know that they’re not a fucking clanker. Especially if they’re new at it and don’t have a backlog or community to prove that they’ve been around longer than the AI slop.

Annunziata has been talking about a new game for decades. I’m sceptical he’ll produce a single pixel tout court.
I wonder if the name Ecco has to do with John C. Lilly.

OMG NEW ECCO GAME
I knew that “No AI used” is going to become a huge selling point for many products. And I think this is just the start.
I’m gonna have my kid add “No AI used” to his lemonade stand sign. He’ll probably double his profits.
(so like $4).
That’s excellent. And as these mega corps watch consumers favor those products. Maybe, just maybe they’ll fucking implode. That’s just a fantasy I know.
What about the code?
Written by an actual dolphin
I’m so fucking pumped for new Ecco games. I loved the original on Genesis and it’s about damn time we get some fresh stuff in the series.
Even better with this statement
I hope they make an effort with the soundtrack. For me that was a big highlight on all games (specially Sega CD).
Undercaves song goes so hard
What if I use DLSS to upscale and add frames?
Maybe the new Ecco game will be optimized well enough to not need or include DLSS and frame generation. 🤷♂️
If they use that stuff and it’s still a 2D platformer, holy fucking shit. 🤣
DLAA then
Well it wouldn’t be a single pixel then, would it?

AI is quite bad at pixel art in fact.
It understands things must look roughly made by squares, but it doesn’t understand what pixels are and their fixed grid.
To be fair, humans are also bad at it these days, judging by the amount of mixels.
They can base their pixel art off ai art, that resembles pixel art. Would still count as “no ai in the game” I guess.
even if it is exclusively trained on pixel art?
Yep. It will create something that at a glance looks like pixel art, then you zoom in and find anti-aliased rectangular pixels made out of three different shades of the main color, a weird line, and no clear grid.
If you use a pixel art export node in ComfyUI that won’t be a problem. There’s a whole guide about it here:

This seems like a valid example - https://pixel-art.ai/
Ok then, that was always allowed.
It’s about saving the planet, I think
Not a single pixel. So they will not generate a single pixel, but multiple pixels?
Found the lawyer.
Nice
Not a single pixel. The code, however…
