Since I can remember, I have often wondered why most PC racing games are set in the Western world. Why isn't there an adventurous car racing game that takes us on a journey through the exotic streets of Thailand? Driven by this vision, I tried out the latest version of Midjourney today, and my enthusiasm knows no bounds. Already, some characters, vehicles, and advertisements have been created that capture the essence of Thailand.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence makes me dream that in just five years, we could create the computer game of our wildest fantasies at the touch of a button. Perhaps we will only need sophisticated prompt machines to accompany us on our creative journey, while the conventional gaming industry fades into the shadows of the past. In this exciting future, it will be our own ideas and desires that transport us to virtual worlds full of excitement and adventure - and I cannot wait to be a part of this revolution.
With the latest version of the AI software Midjourney, images have been created that are even more impressive than their predecessors. Midjourney v5 brings photorealistic results that are barely distinguishable from real photographs. This artificial intelligence generates images based on text descriptions, similar to other image synthesizers such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.
The latest version of the software offers a greater stylistic range and responds more precisely to prompts. However, these prompts must be more detailed to achieve the desired results. Errors, such as too many or too few fingers on depicted people, have been reduced in the new version, but some problems remain, such as the representation of hands or held objects.
David Holz, the founder of Midjourney, describes the Alpha version 5 as the professional mode of the model. The final version will still change significantly and be more beginner-friendly. Despite the progress, there is also criticism: some users criticize that the images look "smoothed out" or "softened" and prefer the older illustrations.
The entry barrier for using Midjourney and similar tools is low. Through artificial intelligence, new possibilities are opening up for art lovers and designers, further blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction.
The gaming industry is in a time of upheaval and innovation. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and tools like Midjourney v5, new possibilities are opening up in game development. The industry faces the challenge of adapting to these new technologies and recognizing their usefulness in designing games.
In the coming years, the gaming industry will continue to grow and evolve. The use of artificial intelligence makes it possible to create individual gaming experiences based on the wishes and ideas of the players. This means that in the future, we could create computer games at the touch of a button that precisely match our visions.
The outlook for the industry is promising, but not without challenges. The conventional gaming industry will need to adapt and find new ways to keep pace with innovations. This means rethinking their working methods and collaborating more closely with AI technologies. At the same time, this also offers opportunities for new business models based on personalized gaming experiences and creative services.
The gaming industry is at the beginning of an exciting era, where the boundaries between reality and fiction are increasingly blurred. In this new world, players will be more central than ever before, and it will be fascinating to see how the industry adapts to these new realities and creates new success stories.
