It does not appear to be AI, and is a passion project by a single developer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9FMp5QgOvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9FMp5QgOvY

  The concept (the X link) is AI-generated with Midjourney, the game isn't.

I don’t think it’s ai because it correctly resolves both vertical and horizontal parallax with correct perspective lines applied to the scene - something ai still seems to struggle at greatly

Two other replies to this comment seem to have missed the fact that the inspiration for the game is AI-generated, the game itself is not made with AI.

What makes you believe that? The video the author put out doesn’t mention that. Cool gif nevertheless.

Ironically, I think a large part of the sense of scale comes from it being a vertical video. Really helps with stacking all these layers of environment on top of each other. Anyway, Rückenfigur (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCckenfigur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCckenfigur) style concept art where there's a tiny figure in front of a huge layered environment has been common in games for decades, the difference is that with ai we can create """concepts""" that look nearly like a playable demo. This game looks cool, but also the trailer just showing 3 static scenes from the same angle for a minute is a sure sign that this is very very early.

In a youtube demo, the author says he has been working on this idea for a while, and was motivated to deliver after the GIF. So, kinda? Thanks for the reference. https://youtu.be/v9FMp5QgOvY?si=iKXJSNIuLiU5nOnj https://youtu.be/v9FMp5QgOvY?si=iKXJSNIuLiU5nOnj
