Pathea Games is cooking up The God Slayer, a steampunk action RPG that marks a pretty big shift from their cozy My Time series. Founder Zifei Wu says the studio barely touches generative AI because most algorithms choke when you ask for Asian steampunk vibes, spitting out weird garbage that doesn't match their vision. They mostly use it to pull reference images when brainstorming character concepts, then handle everything else manually.
The approach keeps their world-building grounded instead of relying on AI slop that misses the mark. Wu thinks staying away from heavy automation is the right call for their project since there aren't enough solid examples online for the tech to learn from anyway. The game is dropping on PC and current-gen consoles, with possible next-gen versions if new hardware launches before release.
