RuneScape dev apologises after RuneFest debut of an AI-generated six-fingered character: ‘That’s pretty hard to explain away’

Jagex hosted its annual RuneFest in Birmingham, UK, where it unveiled a trailer for the Dragon Slayer 2 quest. The trailer featured noticeable flaws, such as a character with six fingers and unusual sneaker-like soles on their armoured shoes. Social media users pointed out the apparent use of generative AI in the trailer, prompting backlash against Jagex, especially after a recent controversy involving a clothing collaboration with 100 Thieves. Alec 'Mod Sween' Sween from Old School RuneScape acknowledged the issues, stating that the trailer had been taken down for urgent investigation. He clarified that it was produced by a trusted external partner who assured Jagex that generative AI would not be used. Sween emphasized the company's commitment to quality and announced plans to overhaul their review procedures and collaborate with community creators to ensure high standards for Dragon Slayer 2. He admitted that the team fell short of expectations and expressed concern over the incident highlighting weaknesses in their internal processes.

Minecraft Dungeons II music

Peter sought instruments that could blend chords and melodies for his project, The Sift, experimenting with various instruments like the harmonium and pipe organ without success. He discovered the harpejji, which combines elements of a piano and guitar, and it became essential in shaping The Sift’s sound. Peter also incorporated a guitar recording into the track 'Wellspring' by collaborating with musicians Pontus Fällman and Gabriel Holmertz, who introduced a lap steel guitar instead of the harpejji for the melody. This change contributed to the "soul sound" of the game, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

How to Integrate Unity ARCore Geospatial Into a Native Android App

The integration of AR capabilities into an app using Unity involves several steps. Initially, a Geospatial sample project is created in Unity, starting as a 3D project and switching the platform to Android. Key steps include downloading and importing the Cesium and ARCore Extensions packages, setting project settings for Android, enabling Google ARCore, and configuring API keys. For 3D model integration, a model is selected from the Unity Store, positioned correctly on the map using AR Geospatial Creator Anchor, and adjustments are made for visibility. Animation is added through an Animator Controller, and potential build issues may require adjustments in Unity preferences. When importing Unity as a library into an Android project, the minSdk version must align with Unity settings, and resolved libraries should be deleted to avoid complications. The unityLibrary is included in the project’s settings.gradle file, and modifications to build.gradle files may be necessary to resolve NDK visibility issues. A missing string resource can cause crashes, which can be fixed by adding a string to strings.xml.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder says a lot of RPGs are ‘still games for teenagers,’ and that he’s ‘tired of all the RPGs where you are this chosen one’

Martin Klima, co-founder of Warhorse Studios, expressed fatigue with conventional RPG narratives that often revolve around the 'chosen one' trope and grand missions. He believes many players are tired of this formula and seek something fresh, which inspired the creation of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Klima noted that the gaming landscape has not significantly changed, as many games still cater primarily to teenagers, despite the audience maturing. He criticized publishers for recycling proven formulas, using Ubisoft as an example, and acknowledged the high craftsmanship in their games while wishing for more innovation. He also recognized the financial constraints that limit experimentation in the industry.
