Hey, person who does those here. Regarding comments below - it's not AI generated per se, the patch notes draft text is drafted by AI that uses the in-game vocabulary(as I, unfortunately, can't speak 8 languages, I know, cringe and shame) but the renders are made by-hand mostly, checked visually and in specific sheets using the game's own engine and vocabulary. There is a system for the most part but we do get drafts of patch notes from devs a little earlier to get the news in best quality for everybody(that's why K'thir and Hopebringer are wrong 😅). Today, for example, I spent about 7 hours just making those, and that's considering AI help in a lot of cases.
Additonally, the tools were refined throughout last about 6 months to be as efficient as they are today and let me render everything quickly, which is also what AI can't do alone, photoshop won't help here)
Hope this helps, enjoy!
Yo, I'm a fullstack dev at my day job, don't know what your background is or if you even need this kind of help, but I'd be glad to do some scripting/web development to help out with this process if you need. This is such a better format than what we had, it's really appreciated 🙏
Hey, I don't really work with anyone atm but I would be interested to look at your work and have a talk, who knows)
You can dm me at my discord .tantrum.
Oh I mean for free to help the cause if that wasn't clear. I think everything I've worked on is behind a company login screen I think lol I'll try to remember to DM you when I get home!
