Eco Eden

3D Game | Integrating AI tools into game development

Venture into the unknown in “EcoEden.” Join Plant Buddy, an endearing plant cyborg, as he embarks on an epic quest through vibrant and mysterious alien landscapes to find a cure for his astro-botanist companion’s mission-ending illness.

Our Game

EcoEden’s core experience goal is discovery. While the narrative sets a level of path and purpose, the gameplay is centered around exploring new environments and taking in the vibes. Players should feel curious and inquisitive, and the surprises they find or enact in the environment should spark delight.

How AI help game art creation?

     For the art style, I selected a 3D pop-up book aesthetic to take advantage of AI's robust image generation capabilities over 3D model generation. I utilized AI-texturing and skybox generation to enhance the overall 3D environment. Moreover, AI also help gather and generate inspiration for the character and level design process.
