What is Scenario?
Scenario is the first GenAI toolkit tailored for the gaming industry, offering game studios and indie developers a comprehensive suite of features for precise creative control.
With innovations like LoRAs and SDXL Models, Scenario leads the way in game development, allowing anyone to create AI models from anywhere, anytime, to seamlessly incorporate style-consistent assets into current game production workflows for ideation, conception, production, and marketing.
Available as both a Webapp and API, Scenario integrates directly with popular engines like Unity and Unreal, as well as in-game, adapting to diverse project needs and revolutionizing traditional game creation processes.
Key Features
Scenario goes beyond mere asset creation; it enhances the entire artistic process by offering full creative control.
Tools such as Style Transfer, Character Transfer (IP Adapter), and 12 ControlNet modes enable precise customization and adherence to reference materials, ensuring unique and copyright-compliant creations.
Model Training Capabilities
A standout feature of Scenario is its robust model training capabilities, empowering users to custom-train AI models for specific game development needs.
Users can train and refine their own AI models (primarily LoRAs) on a large scale for game asset creation, supporting SDXL and SD 1.5 models that replicate artistic styles, game mechanics, and narrative elements. This helps maintain a consistent aesthetic and gameplay experience across projects. The interface caters to both beginners and experts, ensuring intricate design requirements are met efficiently.
Scenario also simplifies the integration of both in-house and community-sourced models from platforms like HuggingFace and CivitAI. Users can manage all their models in one central location, leveraging an extensive toolkit and API to tailor AI capabilities to project needs. Unlike other platforms, Scenario offers full control over the training process, allowing for precise adjustments and refinements.
IP Adapter and ControlNet Modes
Scenario’s distinctive features, such as text & image prompts, img2img conversion, and the innovative 12 ControlNet modes, offer deep customization.
ControlNet provides various modes for enhanced image generation:
- Depth: Generates depth maps for nuanced depth information.
- Pose: Identifies and replicates human poses from images.
- Segmentation: Creates color segments to identify main objects.

IP Adapters transform project development by integrating images as prompts, merging artistic visions with AI’s capabilities. This ensures creations are unique and copyright-compliant, adhering precisely to reference materials, thus enriching the artistic process.
Integration with Game Development Tools
Scenario’s integration into Unity enhances creative processes, providing developers with tools that streamline asset creation and scenario development.
This integration allows for dynamic generation of environments, characters, and narratives, leveraging AI to interpret, adapt, and manifest creative visions in real time within Unity’s versatile engine.
By utilizing Scenario’s AI, developers can push the boundaries of conventional game design, introducing a level of detail and responsiveness previously unattainable. This boosts efficiency and paves the way for more complex, engaging, and personalized gaming experiences.
Scenario Enhance
Scenario Enhance truly lives up to its name by allowing you to upscale images up to 16 times their original resolution. This powerful tool enables developers to rejuvenate older assets, refine textures, or produce high-resolution versions of concept art. With high-resolution assets, designers gain significant flexibility in customizing AI-generated art.
You can choose creative upscaling, which adds artistic liberties to the pixels, or precise upscaling, which maintains the original image’s structure and style. For a balanced approach, select the balanced option, or use the slider for fine-tuned upscaling control.
Practical Applications and Use Cases
Scenario provides detailed guides and examples to help developers produce assets efficiently:
- **Designing Seasonal LiveOps Icons:** Simplify workflows for timely content updates.
Training Models for RPG Avatars: Enhance player engagement with customizable avatars.
Isometric City Builder: Create precise tile sets for varied game worlds.
Creating Dynamic Game Backgrounds: Streamline the design of game backgrounds with enhanced efficiency and quality.
Case Study: InnoGames’ Streamlined Production with Scenario
InnoGames, a leader in mobile and browser games, has integrated Scenario’s AI solutions to streamline the creation of game assets. Using Scenario, InnoGames has enhanced various aspects of game development, such as character design and icon creation. This collaboration has allowed InnoGames to quickly test new ideas and maintain style consistency across their games, significantly boosting productivity.
Key Achievements:
- Character and Icon Generation: Fast and diverse creation of game characters and icons, minimizing the need for manual adjustments.
- Loading Screens and Backgrounds: Efficient conceptualization and rendering of aesthetically consistent loading screens and game backgrounds.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Multi-user collaboration capabilities enable effective sharing and creation processes within the team.
Dario Berutti, Head of Art at InnoGames, praises Scenario: “It allows us to shorten our production time, stay consistent with our styles, and quickly test new ideas. It’s becoming an integral part of our tool chain.”
Conclusion: The Future of Game Development with Scenario
The integration of Scenario into the game development process marks a significant shift in asset creation and enhancement.
By automating what was once a manual and time-consuming process, Scenario not only saves time but also expands creative potential, making it an essential tool for developers aiming to stay at the cutting edge of game design innovation.
