Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

a screenshot of a twitter post from the official love and deepspace account, in it are drink recipes and standard game account calls to action and hashtags, and attached to the bottom is a community note that reads:
"Beware!

flame lillies are toxic if ingested, and contact with the stems and leaves can cause skin irritation"

Something that's easy to miss in the history of Japanese romance games is that otome games weren't some later development after dating sims proved themselves. Angelique came out four months after the original PCE version of Tokimeki Memorial, making them and their respective scenes contemporaneous.

Duck AI Slop!! @duckaislop.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Sirens Silent Lamb Studio. No disclosure, confirms in discord. Gen-ai imagery for promo's and in-game, backend organization and docs (chatgpt), voice overs with ElevenLabs. Translations. 'Concept videos and photos' -y

Sirens generated ai 'concept art' of a siren

Generated ai of a mermaid siren underwater, with red text of sirens on it

Discord screenshot with text, "Do you use any AI in tihs game?"
Currently, we use AI tools to help with documentation and organization (chaptgpt) and voice overs (elevenlabs).

Ultimately, however, we would like to replace ai-generated voice overs with traditional voice acting

Discord screenshot conversation with Megalodon, a developer on Sirens.
Player asks, Is the studio using generative ai to work on the game?

Megalodon: Not really. We are using AI mostly to help with the translations and make fast visualization/presentations for our artists and level designers, to make productions process smooth. But dont expect to see andy AI-generated content in the game. Smiley face

Different player asks, Russian language will be included?

Megalodon answers, yes with a channel link

Player repeats, So generative ai is being used for the development.

Megaladon responds,
Why ar you writing it like that when I said the exact opposite?

No, generative AI is not being used in the development of sirens. Artificial intelligence helps organize documents for the team and such things. We are creators who prefer the old school way. We love building worlds and characters ourselves, creating them from scratch - that's why we still make 2D concepts, textures, and only then build the 3D models on top of them.

In my personal opinion, AI is a blow to our entire industry. Many of us are losing jobs because of it, and artists who used to feel proud after weeks, months or even years of work are now being trivialized by soulless ai. That doesn't feel right at al. That's why we dont want any AI in Sirens. We want this to be our game - something we'll truly be proud and happy to put our names under.

I will not use it, but it's a little concerning that they are obviously using everyone's comments and replies to feed into this. Not suprising exactly, but still.

YouTube Studio is now giving me AI generated reply options for comments, which are supposedly based on commonly used replies by creators. I do not see any way to turn this off.
