Behaviour Interactive has made headlines recently with job postings that have sparked a lively discussion among its community. In a statement to PCGamesN, the studio reaffirmed its commitment to a clear policy: “We have a very firm policy that prevents the inclusion of anything generated by AI in Dead by Daylight or any other game we’re working on, including marketing assets.” While the company is indeed exploring generative AI tools to enhance internal processes, it emphasized that these innovations will not influence the content delivered to players.
Job Listings Raise Questions
The focus of the debate centers around two specific job listings that have caught the attention of fans, despite neither explicitly mentioning Dead by Daylight. The first role seeks a senior full-stack programmer tasked with developing backend and frontend features utilizing generative AI. Although this position does not directly involve the horror game, it suggests potential future applications of technology that could intersect with the multiplayer experience.
In the broader context of generative AI, its application as a supportive tool in programming and development is generally viewed as less contentious, particularly when it aids in debugging and refining existing systems. However, the use of generative AI for creating art and assets remains a divisive topic, with many players expressing strong preferences for traditional, handcrafted artistry.
The second job listing is for a senior technical artist on an “unannounced project,” emphasizing the need for a candidate who can integrate generative AI technologies into artistic workflows. Behaviour describes this role as ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of art and technology, with responsibilities that include evaluating and documenting the effectiveness of generative AI tools within the production pipeline.
- The role requires hands-on experience with generative AI tools such as Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI.
- Responsibilities include analyzing, testing, and documenting the usefulness of these tools for tech art workflows.
- Collaboration with artists to prototype and maintain creative solutions using generative AI is also a key aspect of the position.
This has led to a mix of reactions on the Dead by Daylight subreddit, where players have voiced their concerns and opinions. One user noted, “BHVR is saying proudly that they are using generative AI,” while others expressed a willingness to accept its use for addressing technical issues within the game. However, there remains apprehension about the implications of the artist role and its potential impact on the game’s artistic integrity.
As the community continues to engage in discussions about these developments, Behaviour Interactive remains focused on its commitment to delivering a unique gaming experience, while also navigating the evolving landscape of technology in game development.
For those eager to stay updated, the latest details on the upcoming Dead by Daylight update and a refreshed list of active codes for in-game bonuses are available for players looking to enhance their experience.
