We built a studio, we made a game, and I'm really proud of both. Before we close the doors at Midsummer Studios I'd like to share a glimpse of Burbank, the game we poured our hearts into. It's like "Life Sims + The Truman Show," but it's more than... show more

The ai all over the audio and dialog smells like shit, no wonder this got canned

Our characters use AI for memory, reasoning and speech. That's what let's you create anyone you want and drop them in any story you write. But all of our art is created by our talented artists. We had no interest in replacing *any* developers with AI.

This is the best pouring your heart into it gives you?

But where's the game in this interactive experience ? You just created visual skin for gpt.

Oh wow I can really hear the passion of the ai voice actors performance. “Poured our hearts into” fuck off with this shit

When the XCOM Goat goes off to do work on another genre

had me until i heard the voice and knew immediately it was AI. what a bummer

A game made for everyone is a game made for no one. Next time really think deep who your target audience is. Or you did and going by the trailer, yours was the mythical modern audience.

If you make dumb games that nobody asked for ofcourse thats the fate that awaits

Hey man, gotta say. Great Job! Must be tough to make a genuine pile of shit like this. Way to not read the room around using Gen AI in games, hope for nothing but the worst for this project.

Interesting. Few notes. This is complete fucking dog shit and a curse on humanity

I did a panel with you at PAX many years ago and you had fantastic contributions. An incredible talent. So sorry it ended this way. I am glad you are sharing though, as people don't realize how painful projects ending is, and how difficult creating is.

hey man, been there. I am really sorry, know all too well how it feels.

interesting idea for a game. too bad you turned it into ai slop.

Ok, this piqued my interest. As a HUGE fan of the game 'The Movies' back in the day, this just looks like it'll be as enjoyable. Really would love to see many different themes added like Wild West, medieval etc.

Is the studio closing? Or is this a playable game?

the more AI slop the better because there will always be a niche and space for handcrafted games

Wait, is this not seeing the light of day then? Man, I was really looking forward to whatever you were working on next. Midnight Suns was an all time favorite of mine.

Looks really unique and fun. It is exactly what games need right now. Unique experiences that pushes creativity forward. You will land on your feet and rise again for sure. I also hope the game will release at some point. 👊

I'm really sorry to hear your studio's closing. I hope the absolute best for you and your team. Thank you for wanting to keep sharing special experiences with people.

I guess making a game for the 2% didn't pay off.

hi @SolomonJake - would love to chat about Burbank and what you built at Midsummer! can't send you a DM

So a stupid TV show-ai generating -game, and not a small town drama filled life sim. This is where all that private donor backed money yall bragged about, went to? We really have no good options or future possibilities in the Life Sim Category. It’s over….

those female models are ugly as fuck, another woke trash avoided. i wouldnt even play this crap if it would be for free. Bye!!!!! I heard that Mcdonald is hiring - good luck!

nobody wants to play shit like that. the sooner you figure it out the better.

More modern day slop lmao.

All we want is Xcom3🫠

Wow, damn this is such an ambitious thing to bite into! I wouldn't jump into a game that AI-generated all it's dialogue, but when it's Jake S I know it's some serious design happening. Wish I could hear some of those behind the scenes convos.

You slop you flop. Garbage

Honestly its for the best. Given the shitty AI use and the poor art style choices that look more like a PS2 game than something more modern, I doubt this would have sold well if it'd made it to market.

The game's concept is fantastic. I'm sad that development was canceled, it seemed like it would be a revolutionary game. I'm seeing a lot of comments judging the game for using AI, but the AI was used as a tool to make everything connect in the best way.

Not enough diversity

It's commendable that you ventured off in a new direction. This pre-alpha footage looks clumsy + generic in essentially every aspect, though, AI or not. If you want explore storytelling, maybe you could get into filmmaking. The real world is infinitely more visually appealing.
