Good to know, but sad that it has to be said.

    The developer – whose credits also include Chakan: The Forever Man, Kolibri, Mr. Bones and Three Dirty Dwarves – has previously been quite vocal about his support of tech such as Web3, AI and LLMs (Large Language Models) in video games.

    His LinkedIn profile states that one of his “near-term” goals is to “create an AI system to generate ergodic game content.” His current company, PLAYCHEMY, lists “gamification of AI models, Stable Diffusion, LLM, and NeRF” as some of its primary areas of interest.

    Save the planet with ECCO, to kill it everywhere else? It’s just marketing (it’s working though). Wait for the reviews instead.

        Listening to marketeers do their thing. Have we not learned our lesson yet. They’ll say whatever it is to sell their game.

        Let them make it. Let them release it. Find out if it’s something you want to buy. Buy it. “It’s about saving the planet” why would anyone volunteer to carry water for them?

            “It’s about saving the planet” - KeenFlame.

            It isn’t about saving the planet. They never said it was about saving the planet, they don’t think GenAI is destroying the planet (see excerpt) The saving the planet thing came all from you.

            It’s about marketing, and it’s working, here you are saying ecco the dolphin is saving the planet. Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose, but that’s a bit out of context. Haven’t bought into the hype? What more hype is there than saving the planet.

            What’s the most over hyped game you know? Where were people saying it was saving the planet? Great graphics, incredible gameplay, get to watch an acorn grow into a tree in real time… But saving the planet?!
