Duck AI Slop!!

@duckaislop.bsky.social

I'm on Observation Duty 5, 6, and 7
Notovia. Dreamloops Games. Steam disclosure on two, 6 has confirmation from Notovia in discussions. -y

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some (not all) of the in-game paintings and posters were created using generative AI.

I'm on Observation Duty 6

Does this game use AI generated art?
Simple yes or no.
Not debating it.

Player says "5 seems to have used AI art.
The dev, in a response to a review, says that 7 does not use AI art. So whats the status of 6?"

Notovia replied, "Some artwork in this game is AI generated but most of it isn't. University has a few paintings made with AI (not all of them) and Pool has many AI posters."

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

A texture for one backround asset was created using generative AI. The paintings, posters and other artwork you see in the game are NOT made by AI.

Happy to see the newest Observation Duty game doesn't have GenAi garbage in it, hopefully Notovia continues with that

I've recently decided that I want to create a fan-made game of I'm on observation duty dedicated to Scooby-Doo monsters. Here's an animation I made of the idea.

I'm in Observation Duty 8 by Notovia.

A surveillance game without feeling like a snitch! This 8th game is a good title but maybe not the most recommended one if you are new to the series. Very fun to play as a cosy-weirdo couch game with someone around.
