Creative iteration with AI in gamedev is just different: how a pet from my ARPG prototype became the main character of its own game

A game developer shared their experience with AI in game development, detailing how a pet from their ARPG prototype evolved into the main character of its own game. The developer created "Fluis," small, fluffy creatures with unique characteristics. These creatures grew on the developer, leading to the creation of a "Flui Generator" for procedural, unique Fluis with CS skin-inspired textures. This generator later became the basis for a procedural pixel creature generator, showcasing an iterative creative process driven by AI.

This account details a specific instance of AI's role in creative iteration, unlike general discussions of AI in game development.
