![The budget overrun was at least partly down to AI – or rather, the fact that AI wasn't as big a time saver as Revolution thought it might be.
"Everybody had sent us AI-generated images of the screens and said 'You've got to use AI,'" recalls Cecil, who says the idea was to upscale the original 1996 Broken Sword backgrounds to 4K using generative AI, and then human artists would add the finishing touches.
"But the result was not enormously satisfactory, because there wasn't really enough detail," says Cecil. "It just wasn't appropriate for us." Instead, Revolution ended up redrawing the backgrounds from scratch, using the original artwork as a reference.
"It took more time, but you got better results," he says. "So for Broken Sword 2, we've just done that, we are not using any sort of form of AI as far as the backgrounds and as far as the character sprites [are concerned]."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:52lb7xevchp4dit5f6szel7s/bafkreiegnxkyjrlvtv5jdjza3zkk7irhoqcukwpbz7kwe5qpej3ko3kl74@jpeg)
