@HoarfrostEchoes @faizkyokaz AI pfp, yeah no shit you’re not on the artist’s side LOL

@faizkyokaz I'm on their side on this one. They gave a reference and a request. Of course they expect you to follow that.

I remember doing character design work for a company and the client handed me the most generic pinterest scifi wear refs and told me to replicate it. So i tried to do something inspired and they just mad af and the art director told me “i know how u feel, just do what they say”

@TierZoo @shrimp3y i hope the next time youtube fucks you over you keep this same attitude of "well they're running a business they can make whatever decisions they want, how i pay my bills isn't their responsibility"

@shrimp3y It's his company, he can make whatever videos he wants to make! His workers were hired to serve that vision, it's not on him to restructure the thing he built just to feed his freelancers.

do people think that youtubers are just supposed to bankrupt themselves to continue paying their staff when their business becomes unprofitable?

@barosaros YES, i feel the same way

Happy new year everyone! This year imma do what I want and do things for me without overthinking too much, take more risks, stop taking the safest paths, screw up more.

@Hyohnoo but will there be mail???

Finally got around to learning Godot. Loving it so far. Managed to set up this little platformer pretty quickly (animations are still WIP) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GodotEngine

@picopico256 looks like vergil's "high time"!

必殺技その２、おしり昇竜剣。

@SinbadX20A @kijuler they look like dogshit lmao, really profitable move on their part

@kijuler Ai is a tool that should be used regardless. Or were you expecting them to sit down and hand draw the portraits? (More time / money) = less profit and then capcom just never touches Megaman again.

starforce legacy collection portraits are AI upscaled we still have some time before relaese but I dont think they gonna change the fact they lazily use AI regardless

@snakesandrews i waaay prefer the original "no more heroes", in 2 they messed up the pace of the combat IMO

@funtertainmen29 @ReptileGames why are you hating lol, JSR fans will enjoy both

@ReptileGames Just wait till the new jet set radio comes out and this game wouldn't live long even tho ppl will still play it they just played it because they been waiting for jet set game

DAY 2 TGS

@ty_davina @chiptami mother lode!

Featuring sweet tunes by @chiptami ! #gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker

@vedrisnightmare @OFFtheRPG @MortisGhost why do you pay for twitter when it's free lmao

@OFFtheRPG @MortisGhost Why does a free game cost $15 now?

The new version of OFF is OUT TODAY! Now I invite you to try it for yourself, in order to discover regions more populous than this deserted place. Fly toward the zones ahead without hesitation! Your only enemy is the fear that will grip you.

A little astronaut for an upcoming tutorial in #gamemaker! #gamedev #vectorart

@patetfisk great to see you again! and congrats on the release!

Hello everyone! I have not been on here for a long time since I’ve been busy working on the game Out of Sight which is releasing today! The game is our take on the concept of “second person perspective” with a mix of puzzles and horror. Check it out if it looks cool to you! 🧸

@OvumArt oh shit! so cool!

This is what gaming will look like in 1989 Added movement & tiles on the z axis, attacks, movement states, projectiles, throws, more songs and sprites etc. More to show soon.

@Krug_dev question: how do you do the "inverse" of this? that is: creating a stencil where images are not drawn over everything except the fruit?

@Krug_dev i've been looking for something like this! i was using a "silhouette" system that heavily relied on surfaces, and became untenable so i had to scrap it. i figured stencils might provide a better solution but i struggled grasping the basics, thanks!

#GameMaker tip! You can easily overlay a sprite on top of another without using any surfaces or blend modes - just by using stencil buffer functions! Here's an example of a shine/reflection effect (like the ones used in Forager) applied to some fruits!

@kk30658747 looks like ass lol

I’m no songwriter or video editor (hell, I’ve barely even tried), but I just threw together this video. It’s pretty rough, but it really drove home how generative AI lets total amateurs whip up something that actually looks legit these days.

@tacobelle404 berserk reference?!

What the hell sure #horseracetests

@beeaannZzZ @dkshowthrowaway @gtimoshaz @DewEnjoyer @peta no lol, you still haven't provided any real data, deeper than "well AI is fast so AI must be better for the environment". you also left out the energy taken to TRAIN an AI, and the basic fact that it's used by humans SITTING AT COMPUTERS. so this is a fake argument.

@backYard321 @dkshowthrowaway @gtimoshaz @DewEnjoyer @peta Tell me what numbers you're using for image generation, in watthours

White Horse may have won the carrots, but she lost so much more 💔#JusticeForCyan #StopHorseRacing #horseracetests

@beeaannZzZ @dkshowthrowaway @gtimoshaz @DewEnjoyer @peta literally not true at all lol, also your graph refers to generated MESSAGES, not IMAGES (which are substantially more energy intensive), and only based on an estimates since OpenAI won't disclose its energy usage. but yes, there are myriad other reasons why AI is bad.

@dkshowthrowaway @backYard321 @gtimoshaz @DewEnjoyer @peta It's not fair because 11 image generations is still a lot less energy than the computer usage of a human making it. Unless they manage making it in like 20 minutes on a low powered tablet. Much better arguments against AI than environment.
