"Napoleon's Advisor" or "Achilles' Heel":AIGC Driven New Transformations in Game Design in the Era of Digital Intelligence
The rise of AIGC technology is driving a fundamental reshaping of the ontological attributes and cognitive concepts of game design,to explore how the design methods and ecosystem composition of future games will evolve and develop under the AIGC wave,this article employs literature research,case study analysis,and comparative analysis methods to examine the application modes of AIGC technology in game design from the perspectives of narrative storytelling,visual art,sound effects and music,interface interaction,and system mechanisms,AIGC technology can reduce game design costs,enrich game content,and change creative methods,but it also has weaknesses such as a lack of emotional expression and new challenges facing game ethics.In the context of AIGC,the identities and functions of game designers,human-computer relationships,game forms and rules,business models and organisational structures will all change.Therefore,designers and researchers need to break free from mental constraints,initiate forward-looking thinking,and actively explore new paradigms of human-machine collaboration to promote the empowerment of game design by AIGC technology and achieve deep cross-integration.
