The mod includes a new quest, companion, and items—and as marketing stunts go, it looks pretty good.

      Why are people downvoting this person?

      I work in video games. Watching the evolution and integration of AI into the development process over the last few months has made me aware that a new era of commercialization is coming for games. AI makes these sort of projects, as in a joke someone makes in a marketing meeting, reasonably attainable for a small team or even a single person. Arcade.gov, the disgusting travesty that is, was made possible because someone can vibe code that dogshit with a one-shot prompt.

      I’m sorry, fellow poster. This is only the beginning. 😞I like Matt Berry & IKEA, but this stuff is going to be normalized aggressively over the next year. I hope it can be offset by the tools allowing new creatives to exist who wouldn’t have gotten the funding or chance prior.

        This is far from the beginning, Tapper came out over 40 years ago and that’s just a Budweiser ad. I (out of sheer boredom) played Sneak King 20 years ago, where you’re the creepy big-headed Burger King mascot from their tv ads and you have to sneak around and surprise people with burgers. It sucked, Tapper’s way better. You’re definitely right that llms are going to make it worse, but advergaming has been around just about as long as video games themselves.

    The mod also adds new loot including the Meatball Helmet, which sadly I don’t have an image of

    I guess the writer didn’t even go to the effort of installing the mod…
