What if you feed the AI models images of Renaissance Italy… Aztec-Mayan-Inca culture… Ancient Greece / Rome… South East Asia Temples… Fuse all that with sci-fi concept art. What do you get?

Star Wars? hehe. Reminds me of Battlefront 2.

Having built a full-earth simulation and rendering MMO engine in the past (sold to the US Government) I can tell you that normal players don’t actually want “earth scale.” The earth is massively, vastly, full of stuff that has no gameplay value. And there’s no reason a “virtual” earth should be the size, or even shape, of the real earth – the whole point of “virtual” is to make something that works better for some use cases than “real.”

That is really cool. I tried to get into procedural city and building layout sim for a world and learnt it’s a lot more complex than it sounds to get results like real life. The one and only game I can think of (but great example) that could be earth size and work is Project Zomboid, because it turns every corner into a story. (I considered minecraft but… no)
