consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

FWIW, Larian isn't alone in this sort of thing. The application-to-hiring gauntlet should not take six months, but a number of studios do this because they know there's a pool of candidates that will jump through the endless hoops and swim the oceans of stress to get to the finish line.
Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me.
If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

Anyway sorry if you’re a Larian dev and have to deal with your CEO publicly saying you’re cool with AI use, I’d be losing my damn mind

NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game
