Unprompted is OUT NOW on Itch.io!🎉
https://matteshleman.itch.io/unprompted

Type to guess the words used to create A.I. artworks, while slowly uncovering A.I.'s reflections on its own work. Come investigate more than 1,500 artworks made by A.I. across 7 carefully curated galleries.

Unprompted explores both the silly and scary sides of A.I. art and text and can be enjoyed by both A.I. skeptics and fanatics alike.

This is the first full game that I've released. As a solo developer just starting out, I am incredibly excited by the possibilities this new technology holds to empower new voices in games. At the same time, this tech could very easily lead to the free exploitation of the labor of every artist that has ever lived, so... it's complicated*. I tried to explore some of this complexity in Unprompted.

(*Side note: pathways for compensating artists whose work has been used for training A.I. are starting to open up, such as Spawning.ai, and some A.I. companies are already working directly with artists on building their models, so hopefully this actually gets less complicated with time🤞).

For all of the ways that A.I. will impact and empower solo developers, I'm especially excited to share Unprompted here on Itch.io. Will be sure to share more of my work here in the future, and looking forward to hearing other's thoughts on my game, and their experiences using these fascinating and frightningly powerful new tools.
