lmfao it turns out Firmament used AI tools to modulate human voiceovers and muss up some textures and now kickstarter backers are malding and asking for their money back. and news outlets are treating those requests like they aren't ridiculous

#kickstarter backers wanting their money back for entirely baseless reasons is always funny but this is up there #the only salient complaint listed is that the human VA for the narrator isn't credited by name #and the studio's rebuttal is that the VA chose to not be credited by name + had full control over the AI modulation of their voice #and that this same VA had also gone without being credited in previous games at their own request #articles also seem to be implying that the lore of the game is “shallow” compared to Myst because of AI involvement #as opposed to the part where Myst is 3-4 games being dimly remembered through nostalgia goggles whereas Firmament is a standalone game #they could be lying about the VA thing i guess but that's such a bizarre and easily falsifiable claim to make
