Why ai?
in short, it was what was best for the world of the game.
Though, there is a lot more to it than that. Mythion: the Card Game is a supplemental product meant to be enjoyed alongside the novel Mythion, by Jason Davis. The card game explores and expounds on the world of the novel, bringing to light new characters, new locations, and world info to be replayed again and again. The world is key.
Mythion, the novel, is heavily entrenched in examining the nature of artificial intelligence, digital worlds, and neo-humanism. It only felt correct, then, that a team of artificial intelligences would help bring the vision of the world to life. Afterall, they helped bring the world of Xenxu to life in the world of the novel.
How do these new AI view themselves? What is a game to them? What is good card art?
Our mission, of course, was in no way intended to cut the artists out of the process. Had the game and underlying narrative which supports the game called for it, we would have reached out. But, genuinely, AI art was what fit best with the vision of our game.
We are really proud of what we prompted the AI (Midjourney) to do, giving it nigh unfettered freedom to create the characters which populate the world of the card game (and larger world of Mythion).
