a reminder that i have the same name everywhere (unlike other people who make it so much harder to find them again is it that hard to have one name man)

leave

dude this is like 10000x cooler than the grey dull boring plastic armor space marines

I have already made this point before (go check my previous posts) but I WOULDN'T CARE that the armor isn't accurate IF IT AT LEAST LOOKED GOOD. IDC if it's anachronistic, go balls to the walls and give em Classical or even renaissance gear IDGAF AS LONG AS IT ISN'T PLASTIC.

@zachtothefuller I'm fully prepared to spend the next decade playing through my backlog and not buying a single new game for a long time; watching the games industry implode.

i hate this more than 300

Why does every person who complains about Mycenaean armor use this specific image? Y'all should look at the historically accurate armor made by Dimitrios Katsikis- You know, the armorer who Nolan's team ghosted?

i feel like i’m in the minority. this is hideous, that gold spine detail looks like a fake ai add on

The best movies were made without it, the best games were made without it, the best comics were made without it, the best stories were made without it, the best songs were made without it. And now for some reason we really need it, there's no other way.

Percy Jackson having a better costume designing than the Odyssey is crazy

@camiscribbles People really are really gonna lose it when they find out humans have been writing stories without Chatgpt for the past 5,000 years

@LarAtLarian digging your head in the sand hoping people would forget about this in a month? my wallet won't forget dude

@LarAtLarian i don't see a sorry we got you won't use ai here which tells me everything i should know

It’s been a week since we announced Divinity, our next RPG, and a lot has become lost in translation. Larian’s DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players. A better work day, and a better game. Our successes come from empowering people to work in their own way and bring the best out of their skill & craft, so that we can make the best RPGs we can possibly make. In that context, it would be irresponsible for us not to evaluate new technologies. However, our processes are always evolving, and where they are not efficient or fail to align with who we are, we will make changes. To give you more insight, we’ll do an AMA featuring our different departments after the holiday break, in which you’ll get the opportunity to ask us any questions you have about Divinity and our dev process directly. We’ll announce the date in the new year. In the meantime, I wish you all happy holidays!

Giving e33 best art direction then having them using ai blowing up right after was done to manufacture consent for genai usage across all of the gaming industry btw

All the quote tweets going "hurr get ready to not play games from now on" Team Cherry spent 7 years making Silksong without a single bit of AI to "cut corners", there are hundreds if devs like them who don't use AI that I am going to happily support.

Also shove your "E33 did it too, so it's okay" bc yeah no, it's not! It's really soured my love for the game, unfortunately.

and before anyone says people are being too harsh on Larian wrt the GenAI news, this is exactly the kind of fanbase they nurtured by constantly moralising, posturing and acting like they had the secret ingredient to game-making (trusting and supporting your creatives!) 😃

this whole gen AI nightmare with larian has really made me appreciate my favorite game of all time that is held together by popsicle sticks and the indomitable human spirit so much more

kinda need voice actors to stand up for visual artists in games, at this point. feels like we’re getting sold up the river cuz we’re not as Visible and Celebrity as voice actors are

@LarAtLarian If you are using AI to generate ideas to explore, that is using AI in your game. This is duplicitous spin to say otherwise. The entire history of creative industry happened just fine without using AI, there is no need to shoot your game in the foot by using it now.

If you're using generative AI for concept art then yes, you DID use AI generated content in your game. What the hell makes you think visual artists don't deserve the same respect as actors and writers?
