The creator of the iconic tactical RPG series Disgaea, Sohei Niikawa, spoke about the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in video game development. According to him, while AI has certain advantages as an assistive tool, he does not plan to delegate the creative aspect to algorithms.
Human Creativity vs. Automation
The developer emphasized that generating storylines, dialogues, or character concepts using neural networks completely strips the development process of its spark and interest.
- AI as a utility: suitable for optimizing routine technical tasks or assisting with coding;
- The creative part: writing scripts, characters, and plot twists must remain with humans, as that is the very essence of making games.
The Disgaea series, which is actively featured on the Nintendo Switch family of consoles, has always stood out for its chaotic humor, vibrant characters, and distinctive style, so the author plans to maintain this approach in future projects as well.
