The service for tracking S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 × ATB collectibles now includes functions for exchanging and AI-generating your own cards
Ukrainian developer Vladislav Tsvetkov has added a feature to his STALKER 2 trading card tracking service to generate personalized cards using artificial intelligence. Users can turn their own photo into a trading card in the style of the famous game and in collaboration with the ATB network.
Ukrainian developer Vladislav Tsvetkov has added a feature to his STALKER 2 trading card tracking service to generate personalized cards using artificial intelligence. Users can turn their own photo into a trading card in the style of the famous game and in collaboration with the ATB network.
The platform update was announced in a post by the developer on the social network Threads. In addition to the integration of neural networks, the service has received a number of functional improvements for exchange and interaction between collectors.
According to Tsvetkov, the process of creating your own card takes about 30 seconds. The user needs to log in via a Google account, upload their photo and specify a name. The algorithm automatically stylizes the face to a character from the STALKER universe and selects an atmospheric background: the 100 Roentgen bar, Pripyat or the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The result is output in PNG format, suitable for publication on social networks.

«The number of generations is limited, but I think anyone who wants to will have time to make one,» the developer noted.
Currently, the website indicates that generation is not working because the «artifacts» (i.e. tokens) for AI have run out.
In addition to AI generation, the service has a full-fledged exchange system. According to Vladyslav Tsvetkov, the service has posted over 1,000 exchange offers from 120 settlements in Ukraine. The developer also added a feedback system to the tracker, which should make the exchange process safer and more transparent for the community.
A day after the event began, Ukrainian developer Vladislav Tsvetkov, who holds the position of AI developer and integrator at KTC, used vibecoding to create a web tool that allows you to conveniently track the progress of collecting collectible cards.
Професії у геймдеві. Хто такий левел-дизайнер і як ним стати?
Ми продовжуємо нашу рубрику, присвячену професіям у геймдеві. Тема нового матеріалу в ній — левел-дизайн. Його вважають підвидом геймдизайну, але все-таки практично кожна студія хоче окрему людину на позицію левел-дизайнера. Адже у цій спеціальності вистачає своїх нюансів та особливостей.
Розібратися з ними всіма нам допоміг досвідчений левел-дизайнер зі студії Fractured Byte Дмитро Нестеренко. Також він веде свій блог Game Designer Notes про геймдизайн в цілому, в якому розбирає багато цікавих нюансів розробки ігор.
