MindsEye CEO Apparently Found Time To Vibe Code An AI Feature
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Build a Rocket Boy co-CEOs Mark Gerhard and Leslie Benzies collaborated with ElevenLabs to develop "Arcadia Voice," an AI-powered voice control feature for the game MindsEye, which is essentially a basic voice command system.
- The new feature received overwhelmingly negative feedback from the MindsEye community, including longtime players, who found the implementation unimpressive and cringe-worthy.
- In response to the backlash, Build a Rocket Boy’s Head of AI, Will Jones, posted a statement on X emphasizing that AI tools will not replace the creative work of human developers and artists in game development.
- Jones, new to the gaming industry, acknowledged the collaborative and human nature of game creation, but critics suggest his experience mainly involves delegating tasks to AI rather than traditional game development.
