Session Name:

Project KARA: A Cross-Studio R&D Initiative in AI-Powered Game Remastering (Presented by Keyword Studios)

Overview:

At GDC 2024, we introduced Project AVA, an R&D initiative within Keywords Studios exploring generative AI tools in game development. While that project focused on 2D content, we recognized the need to push further - could AI meaningfully enhance 3D game art production? nnEnter Project KARA. Our mission: remaster an ageing game using AI-driven pipelines, assessing whether these technologies can accelerate workflows while maintaining high-quality results. Over the past year, we've conducted extensive cross-studio research, encountering breakthroughs, challenges, and unexpected limitations. nnIn this session, we'll unveil our findings, share real-world results, and discuss the future trajectory of AI-powered game art. Expect practical insights, cautionary tales, and predictions for the evolving role of AI in asset production.
