I suggest Computer Games Artist be merged into this article. SharkD Talk 16:24, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I kind of missed that article when writing this one. Merge away, as it is non-inline referenced and has very similar content. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Since no objections for over a month, I am going to go ahead and do the merge~~. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is nothing to merge. I'll AfD this and explain there. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing title[edit]

Game art design is a confusing title as the game industry divides between game art and game design. Since the article focuses more on game art, it should be titled game art only. 2A02:8108:2840:2258:D833:6700:948:FD92 (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Game art design" is "design of game art", same as "game design" is "design of game". So "game art design" cannot be titled "game art" same way "game design" cannot be titled "game". "Game art" implies the completed result. But the article is about the process of creating such art. The sources mostly call this process "design" (rather that "development", "production" or something else). — HELLKNOWZ ∣ TALK 11:17, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly entry on AI[edit]

Hi, sorry to bother anyone if they are still present on this page. I just wanted to float the idea by for a possible addition to this article about the use of generative AI in the production of art and narrative. It could possibly be added in Video game artists at the end. I would like to talk about how generative AI has been used in video games design and/or how it could be used in the future.

I would also like to clarify that this is for a class assignment so I understand if anyone would rather me not to add or edit anything, I just want to reach out and ask before doing anything. Reese02 (talk) 20:18, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Entry on AI[edit]

Hi again,

Just wanted to say that I added a section on generative AI and its okay for it to be removed at any time if anyone feels it shouldn't be there or is not necessary.

Thank you Reese02 (talk) 16:16, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have indeed reverted your addition. There are a bunch of issues with it. But the main problem is that this is a "game ART design" article - specifically about art not just general game design. Almost nothing you added pertains to art specifically. I also think you are confusing procedural generation and generative AI. The sources you cite are not reliable or support such statements. Just as an example for sourcing No Man's Sky (which is well-known to NOT use any sort of AI, but regular procedural generation) the verdict.co.uk source is authored by GlobalData, who have a massive conflict of interest writing something like this. That whole "article" reads like it was written by a LLM. That's just an example of something we can't use. I'm not going to go into more detail because it seems you are doing this as part of educational programme, this reads more like an essay and I don't know if you are personally going to revisit this and actually work through everything as that would require significantly more time. — HELLKNOWZ ∣ TALK 18:03, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I completely understand. Thank you for letting me know. I apologize for my addition and the problem it caused. Reese02 (talk) 19:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
