A strange office in a strange city. Use the computer to find out whats going on. Plays in browser. Was learning Unity WebGL & made this game for Mverse. The idea was you can print NFTs (for free:) and decorate the office with art. . Or just do the quest.

  • A.I Art for Gamedev?

    Sci-Fi Livingroom Panorama A.I Art is getting really good, and there are already several ways we can use it for gamedev. Textures for example, can never get enough of those. We can create seamless textures with image generators like Stable Diffusion, which is incredibly useful. Then we can use tools like Material Maker to add depth maps to the textures! Seamless (tiling) textures works best for ‘materials’ - environment, buildings etc., but any texture or image can be useful if you get something good. Decals, tattoos etc. can be painted onto a 3D model,to use for reference when sculpting, or to get the makeup, wrinkles, etc. With some effort, an entire face/body can be spray painted onto a model if the picture is right!
