\u201cThere is a trap to get too specific.\u201d<\/p>\n
No AI tools were used in the development of Prove You\u2019re Human, and Siu says that research was done through a combination of watching YouTube videos of people using AI tools, and referencing classic sci-fi literature about the dangers of artificial intelligence. Given how quickly AI technology has evolved over the time since development began, he says that the narrative team have had to change and update things along the way to reflect what\u2019s happening in reality. That said, he notes that \u201cThere is a trap to get too specific, and that is not our intention. What always grounds us is what will be true from an affectual standpoint even as we continue the rest of this decade and, I suppose, beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
Image: Sunset Visitor<\/p>\n As with 1000xResist, Prove You\u2019re Human is being built by a relatively small team, one with a large focus on narrative. That includes three writers, a filmmaker working on the live-action footage, three programmers, two artists, and a producer role helmed by Nhi Do, the actress who voiced the Watcher character in 1000xResist. New this time around is that Sunset is working with Slay the Princess developer Black Tabby Games, which will serve as Prove You\u2019re Human\u2019s publisher as part of a new venture<\/a>. Black Tabby has been involved from the very early stages of the game, and Siu says the two-person company has provided valuable insight for the development team.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels like [Black Tabby cofounders Abby Howard and Tony Howard-Arias] have organically become dramaturges for the game, in the sense that they get to be outside of the day-to-day operations of making the game \u2014 they\u2019re not in the writers room \u2014 but when we come up for air and have difficult problems to solve from a story perspective, we do talk to them about it and bounce ideas off of them,\u201d Siu explains. \u201cThat\u2019s something that has been really fun and injects lots of energy into the process.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAI stories have existed in science fiction and fantasy since the inception of the genre.\u201d<\/p>\n For their part, the Black Tabby team say that it was Prove You\u2019re Human that helped inspire them to get into publishing right now, something they had previously considered doing much later in their careers. \u201cWe heard [Siu\u2019s] pitch, and that\u2019s when we decided to spin up our publisher,\u201d Abby Howard says. \u201cIt just seemed like the right place at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n Whenever it comes out, Prove You\u2019re Human will join a rich history of AI stories, one that has only felt more prescient and important as the technology continues to develop in the real world. The team has been looking at various AI fiction as a source of inspiration; Siu cites AMC\u2019s dystopic workplace thriller Pantheon<\/a> as one recent example, along with classics dating back to Frankenstein and Pinocchio. The idea is to build on that history with a narrative that feels particularly relevant now.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething that we\u2019ve been aware of in the writers room is the fact that AI stories have existed in science fiction and fantasy since the inception of the genre,\u201d says writer Natalie Checo. \u201cWe want to tackle this story in the context of what it means to make a game about AI \u2014 not an LLM, but an AI in the year 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew WebsterClose Andrew Webster<\/p>\n Senior entertainment editor<\/p>\n Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.<\/p>\n FollowFollow<\/p>\n See All by Andrew Webster<\/a><\/p>\n EntertainmentClose<\/p>\n Entertainment<\/p>\n Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.<\/p>\n FollowFollow<\/p>\n See All Entertainment<\/a><\/p>\n GamingClose<\/p>\n Gaming<\/p>\n Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.<\/p>\n FollowFollow<\/p>\n See All Gaming<\/a><\/p>\n NewsClose<\/p>\n News<\/p>\n Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.<\/p>\n FollowFollow<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PYH_5.png\"\/)
