AI supercharged water simulations
As the story is about water, I wanted to use some AI accelerated realtime fluid simulations.

AI skyboxes
There have been multiple advancements in the AI space that I have found very interesting but there has not been a use for them in the game project yet. So I set up a news section to cover more things.

AI generated, animated logo
Naturally the project also needed an AI generated animated logo! I used Midjourney to create the logo and After Effects to add in the text and handle the animation.
