@DerpFork @DiddlyDonger @Dawgis_ @bloomjpg what does being “generally retarded” have to do with anything?
is it that hard to acknowledge one is shaken/concerned by such events that transpired, without insultation attached? sheesh

@netherdrift @DiddlyDonger @Dawgis_ @bloomjpg She's generally retarded but this is a reasonable reaction to learning what kind of monster you let in your home

@DiddlyDonger @Dawgis_ @bloomjpg genuinely have not seen one coherent, substantive comment that can articulate why such a reaction is unwarranted.
her detractors are so fucking braindead it baffles me.

@NTE_GL can’t wait for hotori, but for the sake of art simpliciter… please consider sticking to human made artwork, rather than chase profit from the use of generative ai.
i hope we move forward towards a better future.

NTE Hotori Animated Short丨A Pocket Watch, and the Sweep of Time
A mysterious woman is looking to sell an old pocket watch.
Claiming to come from a long lineage of collectors, she's quick to back up its worth.
"Yes, it's the real deal—and the price? More than fair."
"All I need is a small favor. Pass along a message for me."

@SportsGuy2620 @NTE_WL by that logic, one should not strive to progress/improve because complaints will still exist regardless.
that is merely a cop out.
the point is that the effort is there, and people are being heard (even if substantial change isn’t implemented.)
see the bigger picture. 👌

@netherdrift @NTE_WL the thing is these kids will never be happy, even if they stopped using ai they would complakn about something new. And what is NTE supposed to do? not use AI at all? It would save them a lot of time with their development. To not use it and sacrifice key deadlines would be worse

NTE Drama
I’m writing this post because of the massive number of DMs from players asking for refunds over claims that the game was made with AI. We need to clarify a few points, as the situation is escalating quite a bit.
The game wasn’t made with a simple ChatGPT prompt like “make me a game, please.” It was created by programmers, musicians, voice actors, artists, writers, and many other staff members who have been working on it for years.
If it were truly a soulless project in such a competitive industry, it simply wouldn’t stand out the way it has.
We can’t deny that AI may have been used for certain types of assets that do not represent the final product, but that still doesn’t fully address the underlying issue.
As for an official statement from Hotta Studio, we have already reached out and are currently waiting for a response. This may take some time, as it is currently Golden Week in China, which includes several non-working holidays.
Regarding the sponsorship situation and the denial of AI use, it’s important to clarify that each department operates independently. This falls under the marketing department’s responsibility in terms of communication with influencers, and the situation was not handled with complete transparency.
We are currently awaiting an official statement from the staff regarding the controversy that has emerged.
The situation is delicate. While the issue originated in Asia and was actually received fairly positively there, it has now escalated to the point where forums in China and Japan are discussing the controversy being stirred up by the West over what many consider to be a minor issue.
Many influencers are protesting and have stopped creating content, which worries players who are genuinely enjoying the game, as they fear this situation could negatively affect its future.
Let’s hope for the best.

@SportsGuy2620 @NTE_WL still, players are valuable.
just because there is a relatively large amount left over doesn’t entail that a few thousand leaving should be simply hand waved away.
i’m happy discussion is attempting to be had though! it could set the tone for nte’s general public perception.

@netherdrift @NTE_WL they'll lose a few thousand players at most out of tens of millions it isn't serious 😂
