Abstract: AI as a Tool, Employees as the Core – Recommendations for Kong Studios to Leverage AI in Talent Development and Game Innovation

Dear Kong Studios Team and Company Executives,

Greetings! I am Luoyu, a loyal player of Guardian Tales. I have always deeply admired the game’s unique worldview, engaging gameplay, and exquisite production, as well as the creativity and dedication your team has invested in its development. With the rapid advancement of AI technology, tools such as Grok, ChatGPT, and Unity 6.0 have been widely applied in game development processes—including code generation, image creation, audio production, and rigging—bringing an efficiency revolution to the industry. However, this has also sparked discussions about "whether AI will replace humans." Here, I would like to share my insights combined with industry trends and offer a few recommendations:

1. Clarify AI’s nature as a tool and abandon the misunderstanding of "replacing employees": AI undoubtedly reduces costs associated with repetitive tasks. For instance, Tencent’s AI automatic rigging tool shortens a 1–3-day workload to 1–3 hours, and 37 Interactive Entertainment has increased art asset production efficiency by 80% through AI. Nevertheless, these tools can never replace humans’ core value. The soul of a game lies in creative conceptualization, plot refinement, player experience insight, and aesthetic decision-making. As the Director of Publishing for Baldur’s Gate 3 noted, AI cannot provide the creativity and vision essential for outstanding games. The reason Guardian Tales has won players’ hearts is precisely the unique charm and emotional resonance infused by your team.
2. Utilize AI as a "portable mentor" to cultivate high-quality interdisciplinary talents: While AI lowers industry entry barriers, it also raises higher requirements for talent capabilities—shifting from mere technical executors to "AI commanders" and creative decision-makers. I recommend integrating AI tools into your employee training system, allowing staff to use AI to solve technical problems and expand creative thinking. This will free them from tedious operational work to focus on higher-value tasks such as core gameplay design, in-depth plot optimization, and art style control. As an industry consensus goes: "Let thinkers make choices, and dreamers create."
3. Adhere to the human-AI collaboration model to unlock team innovation potential: Currently, 52% of game developers are using generative AI tools. However, industry practice has proven that the optimal model is "human-AI collaborative creation." AI can quickly generate a large number of prototype assets, while employees—relying on their understanding of the game and creative judgment—screen, optimize, and breathe life into these materials. This model not only leverages AI’s efficiency advantages but also highlights the team’s core competitiveness, injecting sustained momentum into Guardian Tales’ future updates and new content development.

AI is an enabler rather than a hindrance to the game industry’s development, and employees remain a company’s most valuable asset. I firmly believe that if Kong Studios can skillfully utilize AI tools and prioritize employee value, you will continue to create high-quality content beloved by players. I sincerely wish Guardian Tales enduring popularity and Kong Studios continued success!

Sincerely,
Luoyu
