The ‘World’s First Game Created 100% Through AI’ Has a Playable Demo

by

Today, the developers of the upcoming game Codex Mortis released a playable demo and promotional materials. They’re advertising the game as ‘the world’s first fully playable game created entirely with AI,’ which is a bold claim, but here’s a look at what they’re offering.

This document explains how Codex Mortis was created using only AI algorithms and tools.

This will be a fun one.

Unapologetically, 100% AI

Okay, so I just saw the news – a demo for Codex Mortis is actually available to play right now on Steam! It’s made by a dev team called GROLAF, and honestly, it’s pretty wild. They’re not even trying to hide the fact that the whole game is built using AI – they’re totally owning it, which is kinda cool. It’s not about fancy graphics, it’s about seeing what AI can do in a game.

The game’s bio on Steam reflects that:

Wield the power of death in this intense bullet hell game. Combine five types of dark magic to create powerful spell combinations and command armies of the undead. With endless character builds and the option to play solo or with a friend, you can embrace forbidden magic and become a master necromancer. Remarkably, the entire game was created using AI!

Crunchfest highlighted in their press release that the game is likely the first of its kind – a completely playable game made entirely using artificial intelligence.

The Steam trailer is clearly created using artificial intelligence. It’s not trying to hide that fact, and actually showcases many of the typical signs and flaws often found in AI-generated content.

Codex Mortis challenges players to build a team of warriors and battle hordes of demons using magic and weapons. The objective is to gather ancient pages before a powerful, undying boss finds and defeats you. It’s a similar gameplay experience to Vampire Survivors.

The email even mentioned that:

‘Vampire Survivors meets Guild Wars-style builds.’

If you enjoy games like Vampire Survivors, you might find Codex Mortis visually acceptable. However, your opinion could depend on how you feel about games being made entirely with artificial intelligence. Some people see AI as a positive tool, allowing smaller development teams to create games more easily and efficiently, and that’s a valid point.
