Lode Enhancer: Level Co-creation Through Scaling

Lode Enhancer functions as a mixed-initiative design tool designed to streamline the creation of Lode Runner levels through neural network-driven upscaling.

• Lode Enhancer utilizes a neural network-driven mixed-initiative design tool to upscale low-resolution Lode Runner level segments into playable, high-resolution maps.
• The system employs a specialized layer-scaling neural network architecture designed to capture both micro-patterns and macro-patterns inherent in classic level design.
• A built-in persistence module allows designers to maintain granular control over the balance between manual creative edits and AI-generated modifications.
