Introduction

Welcome to this exciting new Unit all about AI tools for Game Development 🧰!

Up until now, when we studied ML for Games in this course, we learned how to integrate AI models inside our games to unlock new and exciting gaming experiences.

However, another big part of ML for Games is using powerful AI tools during the pre-production and production phases.

These tools have two advantages:

- Fasten your game development workflow by automating some creation tasks.
- Empower your game development skills by allowing you to produce content you could not do before with a small team (2D assets, music, animation, voice actors… ).

In this Unit, we cherry-picked two tools per topic that we love and that you should try in your game development.

We provide a code system to help you know if the tool is open-source or not and if it is free or not.

🤗: Open-source

🔒: Closed-source (proprietary)

💸: Paid tool (often with a free tier)

🆓: Free tool

So let’s get started!

In addition to this Unit that provides you with the best tools, we wrote a blogpost where I dive deep into:

- Why integrating AI is essential: Understanding how it can amplify your creativity.
- Cutting through the buzz: Identifying where AI is a game-changer in your workflow and recognizing its limitations.
- The mindset for successful integration: Adopting a growth mindset to leverage AI as a tool rather than seeing it as a threat.
