About AI for Game Development
This is Part 1 of a tutorial series on the Hugging Face blog, published January 2, 2023. It shows how to use AI tools to build a farming game in five days. Part 1 covers the art style. It uses Stable Diffusion, an open-source model that generates images from text descriptions, to create concept art, and then shows how to block out a scene in the Unity game engine using that art as a reference. The series states that it will also cover game design, 3D assets, 2D assets, and story.
The tutorial gives two ways to run Stable Diffusion. A local setup uses the Automatic1111 WebUI and requires an Nvidia GPU with at least 8 GB of memory on Windows. Online options include Hugging Face Spaces, which the article describes as free, and other online services. The article notes that some advanced features, such as image2image, may not be available on all online services. The tutorial is written for readers familiar with Unity development and C#.
